Deutsche Telekom and ElevenLabs announce strategic partnership to power AI-driven podcasting in Magenta App

We are partnering with Deutsche Telekom to integrate human-like AI voices into Magenta AI, giving users a new way to engage with content. ElevenLabs’ Gen FM technology will be embedded directly into Magenta AI, enabling users to convert news articles into immersive, high-quality podcasts in seconds. Users will also be able to generate custom podcast content based on pre-set prompts, such as “The Most Streamed Songs and Shows of 2025”

This collaboration marks the beginning of a broader initiative between Deutsche Telekom and ElevenLabs, where AI-powered voice technology will enhance multiple touch points of the customer journey. The first phase focuses on podcast generation, with future plans to expand voice integration across additional DT services to deliver personalized, engaging and unique experiences to customers.

Looking ahead

As part of this partnership, Deutsche Telekom has also invested in ElevenLabs’ Series C funding round, reinforcing a shared vision to bring AI-powered audio experiences to millions of users. With this innovation, Magenta AI users will have the power to create, customize, and interact with unique audio content directly from their smartphones.

Mati, Co-founder and CEO at ElevenLabs said: “Deutsche Telekom's long-standing leadership in telecommunications and voice innovation makes them the ideal partner to bring our AI voice technology to millions. Together, we're building on their rich heritage while defining the next generation of audio experiences.”

Jon, Chief Product Officer at Deutsche Telekom said: “Not long from now, speech will become the standard for how we interact with technology. We always hoped for this, and now the technology that will enable this has caught up. At Deutsche Telekom we will always partner with the best in any domain...and in voice, the best is ElevenLabs. We're so convinced, we're also now investors. Stay tuned for how Telekom customers will start experiencing this new modality when they interact with our products.”
