📢 TOP AI Agents News

🎙️ 11ai: Your Voice-First AI Assistant Just Got Real

ElevenLabs just dropped a major upgrade: 11ai, a voice-first personal assistant now in alpha on iOS and Android. It’s fast, expressive, and smart enough to act across your digital life - powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

  • Talk to it like a real assistant. Schedule meetings, respond to Slack, log tasks in Linear, or ask Perplexity to summarize a doc - all with your voice.

  • Voice Design v3 is now live for all users. You get ultra-realistic speech in 70+ languages, complete with emotion, pacing, and even background context.

  • Fully MCP-enabled. That means secure, seamless integration with tools you already use - without messy APIs or permissions.

Why it matters:
This is more than a voice interface. 11ai is a true voice-native agent—it listens, thinks, and acts. You’re not talking to a bot. You’re talking to an operator.

💻 Gemini CLI: AI Agents Enter the Terminal

Google just open-sourced Gemini CLI, a command-line AI agent designed to live in your terminal. Think ChatGPT, but with real command-line powers - and it's fully integrated with Gemini 2.5 Pro.

  • Ask it to search, code, explain, or run shell tasks - directly from your terminal.

  • Comes with built-in support for MCP, so it can reason across files, tools, and commands.

  • It’s open-source under Apache 2.0. You can audit it, extend it, and plug it into your own workflows.

Why it matters:
This isn't just another wrapper around an LLM. Gemini CLI is a programmable, agentic interface for developers. Instead of writing scripts, you now prompt them. It’s a powerful step toward agent-native coding environments.

⚔️ Agent Arena - The Open Battleground

The AI world needs more than demos and benchmarks.
It needs proof. On real tasks. In the open.

Agent Arena is the first public arena where Agents face off on real challenges from real users.

No secret evals. No cherry-picked outputs.
Just your task → their raw response → your vote.

And it’s not just a game.

We’re building the first community-governed, task-based performance graph for AI agents - a new layer of trust for the agent economy.

  • Builders can test and improve in public.

  • Users can compare before they commit.

  • Investors and teams can see what works before betting big.

This isn’t a leaderboard. It’s an trust engine -powered by participation, not marketing.

  • Academic (arXiv): Paper argues that “AI Agentic” is often a buzzword for traditional autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, urging the field to leverage decades of existing multi-agent research rather than “reinvent the wheel”. (Source)
