PlayHT, now operating as PlayAI, is a generative voice platform offering realistic text-to-speech models, AI voice agents, and a podcast generation tool called PlayNote. The platform centers on the PlayDialog and Play 3.0 Mini models, providing more than 200 prebuilt voices across multiple languages and accents with sub-second latency suited to conversational applications. PlayAI exposes REST and streaming endpoints for text-to-speech, voice listing, voice cloning, and voice agent management. It ships Python and Node.js SDKs and a hosted playground, and integrates with the major voice agent infrastructure stacks. The product is widely used to build voice assistants, IVRs, narration pipelines, and content production workflows.
