FAQ

How billing works

The managed voice pipeline: agent orchestration (turn-taking, tools, knowledge retrieval), real-time speech-to-text, speech synthesis on included voices, interruption handling, and transcripts. Standard LLM models (Qwen, Kimi) are covered by this rate. Premium model tokens and telephony are billed separately.

Ship a voice agent on one credit.

No separate STT, TTS or LLM vendor accounts. Start free, pay as you go.
