Layercode

Voice AI infrastructure for developers.

[Layercode @uselayercode]

We're launching Layercode CLI to help you get started building voice AI agents in minutes 🚀

• Initialize a voice agent with a single terminal command
• Test locally using our integrated tunnel
• Deploy in minutes with our agent templates & sample backend
• Easily connect to your existing backend logic & tools

Just run ‘npx @layercode/cli init’ to get started.

Damien Tanner (@dctanner) says: "SaaS is not a growth business anymore...it's for slow humans".

He just raised $4.3M to build OpenClaw (@openclaw) for Founders with @usetoyo.

"Theres a lot of critical SaaS thats going to stay around, the SaaS that runs your water systems or industrial systems, let's not replace that with vibe coding"

The CEO & Co-Founder of @usetoyo argues that:

"Software can now be built on demand...the problem for these SaaS companies is previously they've spent so much money building this asset, which was the software, because the software was expensive to build...but now you can rebuild it for 1/10th or 1/100th of the cost".

[Damien C. Tanner @dctanner]

We cancelled our entire SaaS stack and started running our business with AI agents.

Now, we’re building @useToyo to help other founders do the same.

We're pleased to announce $4.3M in funding from @FrontlineVC, @inovia, @pmoe, and angels from Amazon, Microsoft, and Cloudflare.

For decades software was built for humans to operate.

That world is over. We're building for one where agents do the work, while humans direct.

Something new from the Layercode team. Stay tuned.

[Layercode @uselayercode]

Tip: Pair @inworld_ai TTS 1.5 + @DeepgramAI Flux on @uselayercode to run production-ready voice AI agents for 5.3¢/min on a global edge network.

Try it now in the Layercode dashboard.

New: @inworld_ai's new TTS 1.5 is now available on Layercode 💬

This awesome new TTS model is cheap, fast, and fluid:

[Layercode @uselayercode]

→ Production-grade TTS at $0.005/min (4-24x cheaper than other TTS providers)
→S ub-250ms latency (P50: 100-200ms depending on model)
→ 30% greater expressiveness and 40% lower word error rate vs. Inworld TTS 1.
→ 15 languages supported, including new support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Hindi.
→Plus improved voice cloning stability and realism.

"What problems are other teams running into?"

That's the #1 question from teams building voice AI.

@jacksbridger and I dug into the most common headaches: naturalness, latency, reliability, and debugging conversations that went sideways.

Thanks to Encord for hosting a great Christmas themed event tonight.

This evening they were hosting an expert panel on voice AI, exploring how leading organizations are building voice agents and voice content platforms across real world use cases.

Panelists

- Greg Janota, AI Product Management, PolyAI

- Jack Bridger, Developer Experience, Layercode

- Dimi Nikolaou, CEO and Co-Founder of Wondercraft

Great people, great chat. And brilliant Christmas vibe.

[Layercode @uselayercode]

New: We just added team accounts for Pro and Enterprise plans.

Create an org, invite teammates, and share access to agents, call logs, and debugging tools — no more shared logins.

Announcing @aiDotEngineer London Meetup #8!

This weds with awesome talks from:

​Dru Knox, Head of AI @tessl_io
​Peter Steinauer, CTO @veedstudio
@steipete, Founder @ Amantus Machina & Founders of Europe

[Layercode @uselayercode]

We've been shipping steady improvements based on user feedback. New this week:

@DeepgramAI Flux improvements ⚡
Flux now works on @twilio calls when using your own keys (note: @Cloudflare currently supports linear16 encoding only.)

Post-call analytics📈
​Capture transcripts & recordings when a conversation finishes, then run analysis with LLMs.

@cartesia Sonic-3 emotive voices 🗣️
Support for Cartesia's new emotive voices is live. Look for voices with the ‘emotive’ tag in the voice browser.

Plus: Tons of ease of use improvements & smaller fixes.

Next: Multi-user accounts for team collaboration.

New: @cartesia Sonic-3 TTS is now available on Layercode 🔥

The fastest and most expressive production-ready TTS model — with 90ms model latency and 190ms end-to-end.

How is Sonic-3 different to other TTS models? 👇

[Layercode @uselayercode]

Available now in the Layercode dashboard.

Switch to Sonic-3 from the TTS model picker — no code changes required.

[Layercode @uselayercode]

Switch your agents to Flux straight from the dashboard. No code changes.

[Layercode @uselayercode]

New: @DeepgramAI Flux is available on Layercode.

Flux is the first STT model built specifically for voice agents.

Even better: We run Flux at the network edge ⚡

Layercode voice agents process audio in sub-50ms and take full advantage of Flux's smart turn-taking to respond with human-like timing to users anywhere in the world.

[Layercode @uselayercode]

The results from our testing w/ @uselayercode voice agents:

⚡ ~260ms end-of-turn detection + context-aware turn handling 💬 Nova-3 level accuracy + real-time conversational intelligence 📣 Native barge-in support for natural exchanges 🗣️ Dramatically reduced end-to-end latency
