ElevenAI Is Free Right Now, and What’s Coming Next From ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs shipped three days running. Campaign Manager on 9 November, Scribe v3 and Scribe v3 Live on 10 November, then the New York Summit on 11 November with a new app, an orchestration engine, a partner marketplace and a fine-tuning programme.

About half of it is not available yet. That is not a criticism, it is the useful distinction, and the keynote does not draw it for you. Below is the clean split: what you can open and use today, and what ElevenLabs has merely told you is coming. Checked against the company’s own Summit write-up and its posts of 9, 10 and 11 November 2026.

Available today

ElevenAI — free early access, opened 11 November. The headline, and the only item with a date attached. ElevenAI is a new app that acts as an AI teammate: it listens to conversations including in-person meetings, takes notes with everyone’s consent, and delivers a summary and action items to each attendee when the call ends. It also does dictation into any app, and gives live assistance during a call. Notice and consent mechanisms are built in rather than bolted on.

Scribe v3 and Scribe v3 Live (10 November). Two models, not one. Scribe v3 has, by ElevenLabs’ own testing, the best transcription and diarization accuracy of any model it benchmarked. Scribe v3 Live is the bigger news: it supports diarization for the first time and makes 43% fewer errors than its predecessor, with turn detection that now reads the whole conversation rather than the last moment of audio. Both are built for messy real-world audio — heavy background noise, and telling a pause apart from the end of a sentence.

Availability is unusually clear: Scribe v3 Live is in ElevenAgents today, both models are in ElevenAPI, and Scribe v3 is now the default in the ElevenLabs app.

Beyond accuracy, the launch video shows a feature the blog post never mentions: custom formatting rules. You can tell it "write all dates as YYYY-MM-DD" and it applies that across the transcript, and there is a toggle to render numbers as digits or words. For anyone producing transcripts to a house style, that is a bigger practical win than another percentage point of accuracy.

ElevenAgents Campaign Manager (9 November). Quietly the most commercially interesting launch of the three days. You give it contacts and a goal — a qualified lead, a confirmed appointment — and it works the follow-up over time. After each step it decides what happens next: no answer means try again later, "call me back Thursday at 4pm" means it calls back then. You set the days and hours it may contact people and cap the attempts per person, and if someone asks not to be contacted it stops and logs it. Every campaign shows the full funnel from enrollment to outcome. It runs on phone calls and WhatsApp today.

Scribe v3 Medical, a healthcare-tuned transcription model that recognises thousands of clinical terms — ElevenLabs’ own example is telling cycloserine from cyclosporine, a tuberculosis drug and an immunosuppressant. Plus the ElevenLabs Marketplace and Partner Program across 550+ partners in 44 countries, and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL in ElevenAgents from an expanded NVIDIA partnership.

What’s coming next

Here is the part worth bookmarking, because none of it has a ship date.

Interaction Engine. Previewed, not released. It manages conversational rhythm — turn-taking and interruptions, so an agent knows when to speak and when to stop — and routes each part of an exchange to an appropriate model. A cheaper model handles simple requests, a frontier model steps in for complex ones like refunds. If it works, it is a direct cost lever on every agent deployment.

Memory in ElevenAgents. Agents will build a record of a returning customer over time, capturing the things that never had a CRM field: preferences, constraints, the fact that someone mentioned moving in March. ElevenLabs’ framing is that the CRM stays the system of record and Memory holds the conversational residue.

Routines. An automation layer for the work around a conversation rather than the conversation itself — pre-screening a mortgage applicant and calling back within minutes, reminding patients before a visit, offering a cancelled slot to a waitlist, writing to a CRM afterwards.

Customer fine-tuning, "in the coming months." The most consequential announcement, and ElevenLabs has been specific about scope: enterprises will be able to bring their own data and fine-tune Text to Speech, Speech to Text, and open-source LLMs, picking their own target metrics and working with ElevenLabs researchers. The CEO compared it to each company having its own reinforcement-learning stack.

A financial-services domain model, described only as "in the works." Email and SMS channels for Campaign Manager, which today reaches people only by phone and WhatsApp. And Marketplace purchasing against an existing ElevenLabs commitment, starting next year.

The part that should make you uncomfortable

ElevenAI does dictation and meeting notes. That is squarely the territory of Wispr Flow and Fireflies.ai, and ElevenAI is free right now. Campaign Manager, meanwhile, is an outbound sales tool with call scheduling, attempt caps and funnel reporting — which puts ElevenLabs within sight of what a CRM does.

If you already pay for a dictation tool or a meeting notetaker, the honest advice is to run ElevenAI alongside it for a fortnight before your next renewal rather than switching on day one. Free early access is a recruitment offer, not a price. It tells you nothing about what the paid tier will cost when early access closes, and ElevenLabs has not said.

What the marketing skips

• The shipped-to-promised ratio is roughly one to one, once you count the two days before the Summit. Campaign Manager, Scribe v3, Scribe v3 Live and ElevenAI are usable now; Interaction Engine, Memory, Routines, fine-tuning and the financial-services model are previews with no dates. The keynote does not separate them — you have to watch which verbs are present tense.
• "Free early access" has no stated end. No pricing, no conversion terms, and no indication of what happens to your notes if you later stop paying.
• Memory and Routines are enterprise features in an enterprise product. ElevenAgents is not the creator-tier tool most readers of this site use. Do not expect either in a Starter plan.
• Consent is built in, which matters more than it sounds. An app that listens to in-person meetings has a legal profile that varies by country. ElevenLabs building notice mechanisms in is the right call, but the compliance obligation stays with you.
• The 43% figure is ElevenLabs’ own benchmark, against its own previous model, on its own test audio. It is a real improvement and a checkable claim, but it is not an independent comparison against competitors.

Verdict

Four things here you can act on this week, and ElevenAI is free, so act on that one. Everything else is a roadmap — a credible one, from a company that has shipped three models in a month, but a roadmap.

The item to watch is fine-tuning your own voice models. If that lands as described, it changes the calculation for anyone who has built a brand around a particular synthetic voice, because the voice stops being something you rent off a shelf and becomes something you own the training of. That is the announcement to come back for.
