Which companies offer Kannada AI voice agents?
Several vendors name Kannada on their own websites, among them Outpero, Gnani.ai, SquadStack, Convin and ElevenLabs Agents. They differ more in how you buy than in the language list: some are self-serve, some sell only through demos and pilots. The details below come from each vendor's published pages as checked on 14 October 2026, and naming a language is not proof of call quality.
How this list was built
The vendors below are ones whose own pages, checked on 14 October 2026, mention Kannada. A vendor missing from the list may still support it, so ask directly. Every claim in the table is the vendor's own and has not been tested by Outpero on Kannada calls.
| Vendor | What it publishes about Kannada | Pricing as published | How you buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outpero | Kannada live among seven languages; follows callers into English mid-sentence | ₹5 or ₹6.8 per connected minute, excluding 18% GST; no setup fee | Self-serve, 50 free credits |
| Gnani.ai | Kannada named among nine Indian languages; claims 40+ languages and dialects overall | Not published | Demo, or self-serve API key; enterprise deployments are custom |
| SquadStack | Kannada among nine listed languages | Indicative ₹2 to ₹5 a minute plus a one-time enterprise setup cost, quoted after discovery | Sales-led: about two weeks of setup, then a four to eight week pilot |
| Convin | Transcription language list includes Kannada; its demo voice agent offers English, Hindi and Hinglish | Not published | Demo-led enterprise sales |
| ElevenLabs Agents | Models page lists Kannada on its v3 and v4 models | $0.08 per minute in US dollars, with language-model usage billed separately | Self-serve with 15 free minutes; you bring your own phone number |
Reading the table honestly
- —A language list is not a call test. Convin is a Bengaluru conversation-intelligence platform, and its demo voice agent does not list Kannada.
- —Enterprise vendors can win on certifications and deployment options. Gnani.ai claims SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and SquadStack puts a forward-deployed engineer on each account.
- —Developer platforms such as ElevenLabs Agents leave telephony to you. Its pages do not publish India numbers or DLT registration, which Indian outbound calling needs.
- —Outpero is self-serve and priced per minute in rupees, but it does not offer on-premise deployment or the compliance certifications some banks require.
Questions to ask any Kannada vendor
- —Can I hear a recording of a real Kannada call, with Kanglish, not just a demo line?
- —Who handles DLT registration and the Indian phone number?
- —What does a month cost at 500 connected minutes, with every extra listed?
- —What happens when a caller speaks Tulu or another language the agent does not?
Outpero does not support Tulu or Konkani, and it limits each agent to one opening language, English and at most one extra Indian language. It publishes this page, so test its Kannada calls alongside every other vendor.

Follow-up questions
Is there a Kannada AI voice agent company based in Karnataka?
+
Convin is described on its site as a Bengaluru platform, but its core product is conversation intelligence for contact centres. Outpero is headquartered in Hyderabad. Location matters less than a live Kannada test on your own callers, so compare recordings before you decide.
Why do some vendors not publish prices?
+
Enterprise-led vendors usually quote after a demo, based on volume and deployment needs. That can suit large rollouts, but it makes comparison harder. Ask for a monthly figure at your own call volume, including setup, numbers and taxes.
