With Polish roots, global ambition, and a rare mix of research depth and product mindset, ElevenLabs has become one of the companies putting Poland on the global AI map. We're proud to welcome them as a Strategic Sponsor of ML in PL Conference 2026.
They started with voice because that is where the gap between AI and human communication was most stark, and because it is a hard technical problem: beyond the words, it requires mastering tone, emotion, and the rhythm of speech, along with all the cultural nuance and back-and-forth of human conversation.
Their research team built the first AI voice model to achieve human-level expression across 70+ languages. The work now spans text-to-speech, speech-to-text, turn-taking, interruption handling, and music. For scale: their text-to-speech models generate 34 years of audio every day, across 90+ languages spoken natively by more than 5.5 billion people.
Two examples of what that looks like in practice, both close to home. Allegro, which serves over 20 million active buyers across Poland and Central Europe, is rolling out a voice agent on its delivery support hotlines, starting with Allegro Delivery and its network of more than 36,000 parcel lockers, Allegro One, and One Box. Instead of one assistant covering everything, the deployment uses a multi-agent architecture, with separate agents handling separate scenario types, which keeps each conversation narrow and accurate; when a call needs a person, the agent collects the tracking number and passes on a summary, so whoever takes over starts with context rather than from zero. In public services, their models power the voice agent for Centralna e-Rejestracja, supported by NFZ, which calls patients with reminders about upcoming appointments and helps them reschedule or cancel. With around 40 million appointments a year in Poland and a no-show rate of 10 to 20 percent, unlocking those slots could meaningfully improve access to care.
Advances in speech, emotion, and latency reach users immediately, and usage data feeds back into research to refine the models. That feedback loop is only possible when research and deployment sit under one roof.
Hubert Siuzdak from their research team is giving a talk on October 10. The rest of the team is at the booth in Zone A across all three days.
If you're deciding where to do research next, they're worth talking to while you're here.
