    feels authentic - whether that means through more expressive conversations
    or different modes of engagement. You can now access Inworld’s pre-built
    voices or clone your own voice to build interactive, voice-first
    applications using NLX’s no-code platform. Now, everyone from individual
    developers to leading brands can create sophisticated multimodal experiences
    to engage customers with a distinct personality, in the most commonly spoken
    languages for consumer applications.

  <h3>Inworld x NLX collaboration</h3>
  <p>
    <a href="https://inworld.ai/tts">Inworld</a> and <a href="https://nlx.ai/" target="_blank">NLX</a> share the belief that it should be easier for developers to
    build high-quality, interactive consumer applications. It’s never been
    easier to build a concierge for a luxury hotel, a virtual support agent, a
    voice-powered onboarding flow or whatever you can imagine that brings your
    brand or idea to life. <br/><br/>“Making quality text-to-speech accessible to
    developers was a critical breakthrough to unleashing the potential of
    consumer AI applications. Expressive voice is a key ingredient in embodying
    the personality of a brand and making interactions with customers more
    personal and engaging.” <br/>Jean Wang, Inworld Head of Product. <br/><br/>“Voice and
    voice-led multimodal experiences aren't just the future of AI; they're the
    pathway to truly natural consumer interactions,” said Derrick Bradley, Chief
    Product Officer at NLX. “Our partnership with Inworld gives NLX builders and
    enterprises easy access to industry-leading voice technology, driving speed
    to value when it counts most."
