About ai-coustics
ai-coustics is a Berlin-based startup building the audio intelligence layer for Voice AI. Founded by researchers in audio, acoustics, and machine learning, the company focuses on the fundamental reliability problem that causes voice systems to fail outside controlled environments.
Rather than competing with ASR, LLMs, or TTS, ai-coustics makes them reliable. Its SDK and model infrastructure sit between real-world sound and machine understanding, conditioning raw audio into stable, machine-ready input optimized for downstream behavior. The company’s Quail model family delivers real-time speech enhancement, speaker isolation, and voice activity detection designed specifically for production of Voice AI.
ai-coustics powers voice agents, transcription pipelines, and telephony systems, and is natively integrated in LiveKit and Pipecat.
Its mission is to make audio input reliable and measurable, so voice systems can operate with confidence where real people actually speak.

AudioLM
AudioLM is a pure audio language model that generates high‑fidelity, long‑term coherent speech and piano music by learning from raw audio alone, without requiring any text transcripts or symbolic representations. It represents audio hierarchically using two types of discrete tokens, semantic tokens extracted from a self‑supervised model to capture phonetic or melodic structure and global context, and acoustic tokens from a neural codec to preserve speaker characteristics and fine waveform details, and chains three Transformer stages to predict first semantic tokens for high‑level structure, then coarse and finally fine acoustic tokens for detailed synthesis. The resulting pipeline allows AudioLM to condition on a few seconds of input audio and produce seamless continuations that retain voice identity, prosody, and recording conditions in speech or melody, harmony, and rhythm in music. Human evaluations show that synthetic continuations are nearly indistinguishable from real recordings.

Amazon Polly
Amazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing you to create applications that talk, and build entirely new categories of speech-enabled products. Polly's Text-to-Speech (TTS) service uses advanced deep learning technologies to synthesize natural sounding human speech. With dozens of lifelike voices across a broad set of languages, you can build speech-enabled applications that work in many different countries.
In addition to Standard TTS voices, Amazon Polly offers Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) voices that deliver advanced improvements in speech quality through a new machine learning approach. Polly’s Neural TTS technology also supports two speaking styles that allow you to better match the delivery style of the speaker to the application: a Newscaster reading style that is tailored to news narration use cases, and a Conversational speaking style that is ideal for two-way communication like telephony applications.

Levelr
Levelr is an AI-powered audio enhancement platform that uses advanced machine learning to deliver studio-grade sound by removing background noise, isolating speech, and enhancing dialogue clarity across a wide range of workflows, making sloppy or noisy audio recordings crisp and intelligible with minimal manual effort. It supports common formats such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, and MP4, and lets users upload audio tracks directly to strip out ambient noise, mic hiss, echoes, music, interference, and other distractions while preserving the voice front and center, which improves accessibility and listener understanding. Its intuitive interface and streamlined workflow are designed to save time for creators working on podcasts, interviews, video post-production, live streams, and professional recordings by automating complex audio restoration tasks that usually require manual equalization or noise gating.
