BurdaVerlag is enhancing its AI platform AISSIST by integrating enterprise-grade AI audio tools into core publishing and media workflows through a strategic partnership with ElevenLabs. AISSIST will offer industry-tailored audio solutions, spanning use cases from transcriptions, text-to-speech, audio production and many more, to the development of voice agentic solutions for internal and external applications.
Launched internally in 2023 and now used by over 2,500 employees, AISSIST became available to external companies in July 2025. The platform combines technologies from leading AI providers in a single, easy-to-use interface, supporting text generation and editing, document chat, translation, audio transcription, image creation, and automated multi-step workflows.
With voice integration, AISSIST enables users to tap into the frontier of AI audio research, powered by ElevenLabs, a leading AI voice research and deployment company. ElevenLabs develops AI audio models that generate realistic, versatile, and contextually-aware speech across 32 languages and power the conversational voice agent platform. This partnership combines Burda's expertise in publishing with ElevenLabs' advanced voice technology. Furthermore, both are collaborating to integrate conversational agents into AISSIST, making the platform more intuitive, accessible, and dynamic in the field of audio. As digital interfaces increasingly move toward voice, Burda is taking a decisive step to ensure publishing and media teams can adopt these capabilities quickly and effectively within an enterprise solution.
