ElevenLabs hosted a pop-up event in New York City to demonstrate its voice AI technology, featuring a coffee-serving robot named Adam and an AI shopkeeper for bartering experiences. Attendees, including tech enthusiasts and casual passersby, engaged with various AI-driven activities. The coffee robot, while entertaining, had difficulty with orders, requiring human assistance for almond milk. The bartering experience allowed visitors to negotiate prices for merchandise, starting at $27 for items like baseball caps. The AI shopkeeper was designed to accept reasonable offers while pushing back against aggressive tactics. Additionally, attendees could listen to AI narrators, including Albert Einstein and Michael Caine, reading classic literature. The event aimed to showcase the practical applications of voice AI, particularly in media translation, leaving participants with a sense of curiosity about the future of AI technology.
