We’re thrilled to announce that we raised a $50m Series B to support the launch and development of our newly released flagship product: Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI), the first AI with emotional intelligence ✨
We’re grateful for the continued trust from EQT Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, Northwell Holdings, Comcast Ventures, LG Technology Ventures, and Metaplanet.
EVI is the world’s first emotionally intelligent voice AI. It accepts live audio input and returns both generated audio and transcripts augmented with measures of vocal expression. By processing the tune, rhythm, and timbre of speech, EVI unlocks a variety of new capabilities, like knowing when to speak and generating more empathic language with the right tone of voice. These features enable smoother and more satisfying voice-based interactions between humans and AI, opening new possibilities for personal AI, customer service, accessibility, robotics, immersive gaming and VR experiences, and much more.
