Voice agent platform for creating and managing AI-powered phone calls with built-in AI agent logic, conversation flow control, and real-time transcription. Best for automated outreach, appointment reminders, and voice-based data collection where the AI handles the full conversation. Unlike ElevenLabs (text-to-speech synthesis) or raw telephony APIs, Retell manages the entire call lifecycle — from dial to hang-up — with an AI agent driving the conversation. 2 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Retell API docs for full documentation.
Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.
