ElevenLabs AI Updates: May 15, 2026

1. ElevenLabs ships agent platform upgrades: SIP logs, in-place RAG editing, SMS metadata, IP allowlisting

ElevenLabs. A release covers ElevenAgents, Workspaces, Voice Design, and Voice Changer. ElevenAgents adds SIP signaling logs for call debugging, in-place document editing, the ability to list indexed RAG chunks, and new LLM options including gpt-5.4-mini and gpt-5.4-nano variants plus background music configuration. Workspaces gain a new analytics endpoint with filtering/sorting and IP allowlisting for service-account API keys; permissions expand with conversational_ai_read and voice_design roles. The legacy voice-preview endpoint is deprecated in favor of the Design-a-voice workflow, Voice Changer adds multiple WAV output sample rates (8-48 kHz, some Pro-only), and Python/JavaScript SDKs (v2.47.0) regenerated against the latest API schema with file-upload support added to the embedded ElevenAgents widget.
