02:12.060 --> 02:15.140 Uh, mostly we're going to be in the agents platform world. 02:15.300 --> 02:19.780 And in many ways the agents platform is a bit of an n810 itself. 02:19.780 --> 02:23.940 So you'll see some familiar kind of canvas y kinds of, of setups. 02:23.940 --> 02:28.900 So there's something about it that is quite, quite similar to N810, but it's very focused on voice 02:28.900 --> 02:29.620 agents. 02:29.620 --> 02:33.940 And of course, as you know, because you've seen the curriculum, we're going to be doing a lot of 02:33.980 --> 02:40.460 a lot of workflows where we connect together 11 labs and N810, and there's some decisions to be made 02:40.460 --> 02:44.220 about what we have 11 labs do and what we have N810 do. 02:44.580 --> 02:49.500 So those are the two products, creative platform and agents platform that we will see in a second. 02:49.500 --> 02:54.100 And in terms of pricing I mentioned it's pricey, but there is a free tier. 02:54.220 --> 02:59.780 And so you can use this for free for this course and and follow everything I believe without without 02:59.780 --> 03:06.990 paying a cent, I have to confess that I did just sign up for the starter pack, which is $5 monthly 03:06.990 --> 03:10.190 because I've been using it reasonably heavily and loving it. 03:10.190 --> 03:12.870 And so you might be tempted to do the same as me. 03:13.190 --> 03:14.590 But but you don't need to. 03:14.630 --> 03:15.910 It's not necessary. 03:15.950 --> 03:20.790 You can stay on the generous free tier with that. 03:20.830 --> 03:21.830 Let's go and take a look. 03:21.830 --> 03:22.150 Okay. 03:22.190 --> 03:26.030 I'm going to go to 1111 labs. 03:26.030 --> 03:26.870 One word. 03:28.350 --> 03:33.790 And here we have the world's most realistic voice AI platform. 03:34.110 --> 03:37.790 The first thing to point out is that the top here, you'll see that there are these two different nav 03:37.830 --> 03:41.870 bars for creative platform and agents platform. 03:41.870 --> 03:47.190 The two platforms I promised you are what you, uh, you see from the top, uh, and you'll see that 03:47.190 --> 03:51.910 they've got, they've got lots of, of, of course, use cases that they've got, uh, and general details 03:51.910 --> 03:52.310 about them. 03:52.310 --> 03:58.470 And then there is a whole tab for developers, and this has docs and API reference for the creative 03:58.470 --> 04:01.670 platform and the agents platform side by side. 04:01.870 --> 04:06.950 Uh, and uh, you can also come over here to pricing and click on pricing. 04:07.200 --> 04:10.680 And you'll see there is this free tier, as I promised you. 04:10.880 --> 04:15.560 Um, and I don't know that this free tier applies to all regions, so so, you know, it's my my understanding 04:15.560 --> 04:16.040 that it is. 04:16.040 --> 04:18.680 But but but it may change at any point. 04:18.680 --> 04:20.560 So what you see here may or may not match. 04:20.600 --> 04:21.200 Of course. 04:21.360 --> 04:23.200 Uh, but hopefully you do still have a free tier. 04:23.200 --> 04:24.480 Maybe it's even more generous. 04:24.680 --> 04:27.520 And then I have got the starter pack. 04:27.680 --> 04:32.840 And there is also creator and pro for, for people that want to be power users of it. 04:32.880 --> 04:34.560 This is showing the annual billing. 04:34.600 --> 04:38.160 And if you go to this you get the um the sorry. 04:38.160 --> 04:39.280 This will show you the monthly billing. 04:39.280 --> 04:41.120 If you flip to this, you get the annual billing. 04:41.120 --> 04:44.160 But and then you do get two months free for doing that. 04:44.160 --> 04:45.680 So that might be attractive. 04:45.960 --> 04:50.160 Uh, so that is the general information about 11 labs. 04:50.160 --> 04:57.320 If we go back to the home page again to 11 labs, you'll see that there is this, uh, this sort of, 04:57.320 --> 04:59.120 uh, instant try it out. 04:59.280 --> 05:06.720 There is something here where you can just press play in the ancient land of Eldora, where skies shimmered 05:06.720 --> 05:09.520 and forests whispered secrets to the wind. 05:09.880 --> 05:12.080 Lift a dragon named Zephyrus. 05:12.640 --> 05:15.040 Not the burn it all down kind. 05:15.320 --> 05:17.320 But he was gentle, wise. 05:17.480 --> 05:19.520 With eyes like old stars. 05:20.000 --> 05:22.640 Even the birds fell silent when he passed. 05:23.000 --> 05:26.840 Hey, you got to admit that that is impressive stuff. 05:27.120 --> 05:29.480 And you may think that it's cherry picked. 05:29.480 --> 05:32.840 It might sound to you like they've pre-prepared this, especially as they've got it on their landing 05:32.840 --> 05:33.240 page. 05:33.360 --> 05:34.520 But it's not. 05:34.560 --> 05:35.280 11 labs. 05:35.280 --> 05:36.320 Is that good?
