Voice bots are AI-powered software that can understand natural language (NLU) and synthesize speech in order to converse with people. Voice bots can run automated call campaigns for various purposes, put data into your CRM and route calls to the appropriate agents.
A virtual agent is an AI-based software program that communicates through voice or text. A virtual agent is also known as an intelligent virtual agent (IVA), virtual rep, or virtual chat agent.
Today, these technologies are widely used by large businesses - banks, airlines, online stores - to communicate with customers. In this article, we’ll look at what has changed since the first assistant appeared eight years ago.

In this digest, we will bring you the latest updates to Voximplant Kit. We have added support for outbound WhatsApp messages, Mobile chats, support for ElevenLabs neural voices, and new automated campaign settings.
Voximplant now includes a native Deepgram module that connects any Voximplant call to Deepgram’s Voice Agent API for real-time, speech‑to‑speech conversations. You can stream audio from phone numbers, SIP trunks, WhatsApp, or WebRTC into Deepgram’s unified agent environment—combining STT, LLM reasoning, and TTS—and play responses via Voximplant’s serverless runtime with minimal latency.
Voximplant now includes a native Grok module that connects any Voximplant call to xAI’s Grok Voice Agent API for real-time, speech-to-speech conversations. With a single VoxEngine scenario, you can interact via audio with Grok over phone numbers, SIP trunks and infrastructure, WhatsApp Business, or WebRTC into Grok — all without building custom media gateways or WebSocket streaming infrastructure.
Check out the latest useful Voximplant Kit updates — we developed chat analytics, improved call history, added new tools for supervisors, expanded scenario capabilities, and updated the softphone. Below is a brief overview of the essential enhancements.
