What it is
Play.ai is PlayHT's voice-agent product — distinct from the standalone TTS studio. Aimed at the same market as Vapi / Retell AI but using PlayHT's own voices.
Watch out for: Coverage narrower than the PlayHT TTS surface — conversation latency is the trade-off. Voice cloning requires consent.

Where is the Play.ai (Voice Agents) category heading?
