15.ai is a freeware artificial intelligence web application that generates natural emotive high-quality text-to-speech voices from an assortment of fictional characters from a variety of media sources. Developed by an anonymous MIT researcher under the eponymous pseudonym 15, the project uses a combination of audio synthesis algorithms, speech synthesis deep neural networks, and sentiment analysis models to generate and serve emotive character voices faster than real-time, even those with a very small amount of data. The project began development while the developer was an undergraduate at MIT.

Available characters include GLaDOS and Wheatley from Portal, Twilight Sparkle and a number of main, secondary, and supporting characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants, Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane from Daria, the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Narrator from The Stanley Parable, the Wii U/3DS/Switch Super Smash Bros. Announcer (formerly), Sans from Undertale, and Carl Brutananadilewski from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

On January 14, 2022, it was discovered that Voiceverse NFT, a company that video game voice actor Troy Baker announced his partnership with, had stolen voice lines generated from 15.ai as part of their marketing campaign without permission. The initial partnership between Troy Baker and Voiceverse was met with severe backlash and universally negative reception. Two weeks later, on January 31, Baker announced that he would discontinue his partnership with Voiceverse.
