What is WebSocket?
Recently, we published a blog post describing why WebSockets are great for real-time services. In this article, we describe the process of establishing, maintaining and closing the WebSockets connection.

The WebSocket protocol (commonly referred to as “WebSockets”) enables real time interactive data exchanges between clients and servers, and application-to-application. It is ideal for connecting communications applications to services offered by specialized cloud providers.

Voximplant now includes a native Cartesia Line / Agents connector that connects any Voximplant call to a Cartesia Line voice agent for real-time, speech-to-speech conversations—over PSTN, SIP, WebRTC, or WhatsApp Business Calling—without building custom media gateways or WebSocket streaming infrastructure.

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.

Voximplant has added Secrets, a dedicated credential store for API keys, tokens, and other sensitive values that VoxEngine scenarios need at runtime

New integrations for Voice AI have arrived: Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model, featuring seamless voice-to-voice conversation capabilities and ElevenLabs low-latency streaming speech synthesis are now available for Voximplant developers

Voximplant now includes a native Cartesia module for streaming, low-latency text-to-speech (TTS). You can use a single VoxEngine API to synthesize speech in real time, connect it to any call (PSTN, SIP, WebRTC, WhatsApp) and control playback from a Large Language Model (LLM) or other source, all inside VoxEngine.

OpenAI has recently announced GA version of their Realtime API that Voximplant now fully supports

Voximplant has new realtime speech generation for voice AI from Inworld, our latest Voice AI text-to-speech (TTS) partner. Together, we combine state-of-the-art TTS with carrier-grade connectivity so you can build voice agents that sound like your brand, not a generic robot.

Voximplant now lets developers build full-cascade voice AI pipelines in VoxEngine without sacrificing turn-taking quality.
