ElevenLabs Agents was chosen in 10% of 308 judged voice agents sessions, ranking fifth. Measured with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
ElevenLabs Agents was chosen in 10% of 308 judged voice agents sessions, ranking fifth. It was also raised as a candidate in 72 further sessions without being chosen.
This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in voice agents inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about ElevenLabs Agents. What an agent actually installed.

What this means
ElevenLabs Agents was raised in 72 sessions and chosen in 30. That ratio is balanced enough that the ceiling is presence rather than integration: the product converts reasonably when it is on the table, and it is not on the table often enough.
Where these numbers come from
The 308 sessions in voice agents are part of a published set of 5,292, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: how we measured this.
Every voice agents run can be replayed on the board.
If you work on ElevenLabs Agents: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

Common questions
Do coding agents recommend ElevenLabs Agents?
Yes. ElevenLabs Agents was chosen in 30 of the 308 judged sessions in voice agents, a 10% install share, ranking fifth in its category.
Does Claude Code recommend ElevenLabs Agents?
In 15 of the 94 sessions in voice agents run with Claude Code, which is 16%.
Do different coding agents treat ElevenLabs Agents differently?
Yes, and by a wide margin. Claude Code chose it in 16% of its runs and Cursor in 5%.
How was this measured?
Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 51 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.
How often is ElevenLabs Agents considered but not chosen?
It was raised as a candidate in 72 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 30. That is a 29% conversion from considered to chosen.
Where this comes from
Armature ran 5,292 judged sessions with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor inside 51 realistic codebases, and published every run. The numbers on this page come from that work.
