Voice AI is replacing call centre agents, appointment bookers and outbound SDRs at an extraordinary pace. Vapi is the leading infrastructure platform for building production-grade AI phone agents. We design, build and deploy Vapi agents that handle real calls — inbound and outbound — at any scale.
Vapi is a developer platform for building real-time AI voice agents. It handles the complex infrastructure of voice AI — WebRTC audio streaming, speech-to-text (Deepgram, Google), LLM integration (Claude, GPT-4o), text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, Azure) and call orchestration — providing a single API to build production phone agents without managing individual service integrations.
Combined with ElevenLabs voice synthesis, Vapi agents achieve sub-500ms response latency and pass naturalness tests that most callers cannot distinguish from a human agent. The voice quality and conversational flow have improved dramatically in 2025, with agents capable of handling interruptions, pauses and multi-turn conversation naturally.
High-value use cases include: inbound customer support for common queries, outbound appointment confirmation and rescheduling, lead qualification calls, post-purchase follow-up, survey collection and outbound sales prospecting. Use cases requiring complex empathy, novel problem-solving or sensitive negotiation benefit from human-in-the-loop design.
Vapi provides webhooks and function-calling that allow agents to query and update external systems during a call. We build integrations that let agents look up customer records in Salesforce, check appointment availability in Google Calendar, create support tickets in Zendesk and push call summaries to HubSpot — all in real-time during the conversation.
Vapi pricing is per minute of call time, significantly cheaper than human agent equivalents. For most business use cases, AI phone agents cost 85–95% less per call than human agents. Total cost depends on LLM choice, voice provider and call volume — we model per-call economics during scoping to ensure the business case is clear before development.
