Voice AI has officially moved past “experiment.” According to Deepgram’s 2025 State of Voice AI Report with Opus Research, insights from 400 senior leaders – many from enterprises exceeding $100M in revenue:
- 97% already use some form of voice technology.
- 84% plan to increase investments.
Yet only 21% are strongly satisfied with their current voice agents.
That gap is the opportunity.
Enterprises are done with robotic IVRs that trap customers in menus. They want human-like AI agents that actually do work, reduce wait times, and make customers feel heard.
Avius AI has been building toward this moment for two years, backed by more than 25 years of experience in telecommunications and enterprise technology.
The 2025 State of Voice AI Report reveals a pivotal moment in the evolution of business communications: the era of human-like voice AI agents has arrived, fundamentally changing.
The Big Shift: From Voice Tech to Voice AI Agents
If 2022 was the year when voice technology became mainstream and 2023 marked the breakthrough year for artificial intelligence, 2025 is the year when these two forces intertwined to redefine business operations. Human-like voice AI agents are no longer hype – they are a core part of business strategy for enterprises across nearly every sector.
A recent survey featured in the 2025 State of Voice AI Report, which gathered insight from 400 decision-makers (82% from the US, primarily large enterprises), confirms that voice AI technology isn’t just an optional add-on. For 67% of organizations surveyed, voice AI is now foundational to their product and business strategy.
AI Voice Agents: Why Businesses Are Racing Ahead
- Customer Service Transformation: Traditional interactive voice response (IVR) systems, with their robotic, menu-driven prompts, are fading away. Today’s voice AI agents automate not only FAQs but also complex transactions like detailed order-taking, support calls, and appointment scheduling. The expectations for customer interaction are now centered on seamless, natural, and 24/7 experiences.
- Customization Is King: The report highlights a crucial market trend: 46% of organizations cite the ability to fine-tune and customize AI models as the most important factor for adoption, especially to ensure accuracy in specific industries or domains.
Why Voice AI Is Now “Must-Have”
Voice AI is quickly becoming a necessity – here’s why:
- Ubiquity: 97% of respondents are already using some type of voice technology, with most building at least part of their solutions in-house to tailor them to specific needs.
- Multiple Touchpoints: More than 50% of companies expect voice AI to improve every stage of the customer journey, enhancing engagement, accessibility, and compliance.
- Regulatory Drivers: 56% see compliance mandates – not just operational convenience – as a primary motivation for adoption, indicating the growing importance of accessibility and privacy in digital transformation initiatives.
- Cost & Efficiency: Nearly half of survey respondents reported that streamlining operations and reducing costs are major incentives for implementing voice AI, alongside productivity and revenue growth.

Seamless integrations are often cited as a challenge in the report, with 65% noting the need for compatibility and 60% highlighting integration complexity as a barrier to adoption. Avius AI addresses this head-on, providing modular API frameworks and ready-made connectors – meaning businesses don’t need to rebuild from scratch or risk disruptions to existing workflows.
