Moving from ElevenLabs.
Your instructions and knowledge become a Zumu agent, answering on the numbers your callers already dial. Keep your numbers
Can I bring my ElevenLabs account?
Yes. Add your ElevenLabs key once, and every voice in your account is there to choose for any agent, billed to your ElevenLabs account. Rehearse it in the playground before a caller hears it.
Is Zumu built on ElevenLabs?
No. The agent, its channels, telephony, handoff, memory and the conversation record are Zumu’s own platform.
Will it book into our calendar and CRM?
Yes. The agent books straight into Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 Calendar, Cal.com and Calendly, and works in your CRM and helpdesk through 100+ connectors and integrations, plus any API or MCP server, while the caller is still on the line.
Move over with your voice intact.
The ElevenLabs voice you chose, with its pronunciation rules, answers as your Zumu agent on the demo.
