1299 Labs trains, evaluates, and deploys voice agents that hold up in the real world — noisy lobbies, bad signal, real people. Our flagship deployment is Buzz Me Up.
Three areas of active R&D. All in service of voice agents that work outside the lab.
Sub-second latency. Natural interruption handling. Turn-taking that doesn't feel like a phone tree. The hard parts of making a voice agent feel like a person.
Custom audio datasets. Eval harnesses for accent, noise, and adversarial input. The infrastructure to know — not guess — when a model is ready for production.
On-device and co-located inference, so conversations don't leave the building. Privacy-first by architecture, not by policy.
The research, in production. A voice intercom agent for multifamily real estate — and the proving ground for everything we train.
