Gladia for AI agents

Gladia provides audio transcription, translation, and analysis through an API, supporting both live and recorded audio. Product and content teams use it to turn speech into text. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

EVERY GLADIA CALL, ON THE RECORD
01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Gladia.

01

Transcribe a recorded call

Submit an uploaded call recording for transcription and retrieve the text once the job completes.

02

Check a transcription job's status

Poll a pre-recorded transcription job to see if it is finished before pulling the result.

03

List recent transcription jobs

List recent jobs to find one that already covers a given recording instead of re-submitting it.

02 · ACTIONS

10 Gladia actions, graded by risk.

Every Gladia action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Gladia connects.

Users add their Gladia api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Gladia connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Gladia and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Gladia with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Gladia to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Gladia actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Gladia?

Users add their Gladia api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Gladia actions can my agent take?

10 in total: 5 read, 3 write and 2 destructive, such as “initiate Live Transcription Session”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Gladia?

Yes. Actions like “delete Live Session” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Gladia too?

Yes. The same Gladia connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
