Hume AI

Introducing Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI), the first conversational AI with emotional intelligence. Try it here: demo.hume.ai EVI understands the user’s tone of voice, which adds meaning to every word, and uses it to guide its own language and speech. Developers can use this API as a voice interface for any application. ✨EVI has a number of unique empathic capabilities ✨ 1. Responds with human-like tones of voice based on your expressions. 2. Reacts to your expressions with language that addresses your needs and maximizes satisfaction. 3. EVI knows when to speak, because it uses your tone of voice for state of the art end-of-turn detection. 4. Stops when interrupted, but can always pick up where it left off. 5. Learns to make you happy by applying your reactions to self-improve over time. And includes fast, reliable transcription and text-to-speech and can hook into any LLM. EVI will be publicly available in April.
