Vapi provides an infrastructure platform to build and deploy enterprise-grade voice AI agents. Developers use flexible APIs and an SDK to create, test, and deploy voice agents for inbound and outbound calls, using a mix of STT, LLMs, and TTS from integrated or third-party providers to deliver low-latency conversations. Clients can bring their own API keys or use Vapi's models, giving control over cost and performance across industries like healthcare, finance, and travel, from startups to Fortune 500s. The goal is to simplify building scalable voice operations and enable rapid deployment of AI-powered call workflows, with a usage-based pricing model per minute plus telephony and AI costs, differentiating itself through a developer-centric approach and provider-agnostic orchestration.
