NTT Docomo Business is trialing CONN, its AI assistant built on ElevenAgents, as a voice agent for older residents of Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima.

The trial is run with Takeda Health Foundation and the cooperation of Aizuwakamatsu City, and the agent provides local information and everyday conversation for people who struggle to leave home during heavy winter snow.

NTT Docomo Business's Generative AI Taskforce chose ElevenLabs for voice quality, and Hironori Yoshida says the intonation felt remarkably natural. That claim comes from ElevenLabs' own blog. The reports contain no independent evaluation or trial results.
