From Hype to Production: Voice AI in 2025

Voice AI has crossed into production. Deepgram’s 2025 State of Voice AI Report with Opus Research quantifies how 400 senior leaders - many at $100M+ enterprises - are budgeting, shipping, and measuring results.

Adoption is near-universal (97%), budgets are rising (84%), yet only 21% are very satisfied with legacy agents. And that gap is the opportunity: using human-like agents that handle real tasks, reduce wait times, and lift CSAT.

Get benchmarks to compare your roadmap, the first use cases breaking through (customer service, order capture, task automation), and the capabilities that separate leaders from laggards - latency, accuracy, tooling, and integration. Use the findings to prioritize quick wins now and build a scalable plan for 2026.

CHATGPT ROLLS OUT “SHOPPING RESEARCH” 🛍️

What’s new? ChatGPT is rolling out shopping research, a new tool that creates personalized, in-depth buyer’s guides based on exactly what you’re looking for—no more checking dozens of websites yourself.

How does it work? Shopping research turns product discovery into a conversation. You describe what you need—like a quiet vacuum, a budget gaming laptop, or a gift for your niece—and ChatGPT asks smart follow-up questions to understand your budget, preferences, and constraints. Behind the scenes, it scans trusted sources for up-to-date prices, reviews, specs, and availability, refining results based on your feedback. After a few minutes, it generates a clear, customized buyer’s guide with top options, trade-offs, and links to verified retailers. The feature works on mobile and web for all logged-in Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users, with nearly unlimited usage offered through the holidays.

Why should you care? Most people find online shopping overwhelming, especially when comparing complex products. This tool cuts through that noise by doing the research for you—saving time, reducing decision fatigue, and helping you feel confident you’re choosing the right product.

AWS TO INVEST $50 BILLION IN AI FOR GOVERNMENT 🇺🇸

What’s up? Amazon Web Services (AWS) will invest up to $50 billion to build the first-ever AI and high-performance computing infrastructure designed specifically for the U.S. government.

Want the details? Beginning in 2026, AWS will add nearly 1.3 gigawatts of advanced computing power across its Top Secret, Secret, and GovCloud regions—secured environments used by federal agencies. This expansion includes new data centers equipped with cutting-edge chips, networking, and AI tools such as Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, AWS Trainium, Nvidia systems, and models like Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude. These capabilities will allow agencies to train custom AI models, analyze massive datasets, and accelerate complex tasks like simulations, pattern detection, and real-time decision-making. In short, it gives the government a powerful, secure backbone for secure AI development and use.

Why does this matter? This investment positions the U.S. to maintain technological leadership by giving federal agencies the tools to work faster, detect threats earlier, make smarter decisions, and drive breakthroughs in areas like national security, healthcare research, energy, and cybersecurity. It removes long-standing technology barriers and enables the government to tackle complex problems with far greater speed, precision, and scale.
