- What happened
- Gradium released Voice Design, letting developers generate synthetic voices from text descriptions instead of picking from presets.

- Matters for engineers building voice agents that need different tones per interaction, like customer support systems responding differently to frustrated versus routine callers.
- Watch out
- Each voice uses a custom-voice slot on your account. The approach requires pre-designing a small, closed set of voice specifications to keep costs and complexity manageable.
