Voice AI today cannot hold real conversations. It requires walkie-talkie style turns, doesn't understand or respond to users' emotions and has an inconsistent personality.
This makes it hard for users to trust and connect with AI, so they disengage. This limits voice AI to mostly transactional business calls, and blocks access to meaningful human services (therapy, coaching, sales) that require genuine dialogue and emotional connection. Scaling current tech will not solve this.
We're building voice AI that feels like talking to a friend – natural, familiar and emotionally aware. Our approach is a duplex speech-to-speech AI that learns conversation directly from data.
Enabling life-like conversations with AI is key to unlocking our vision – deliver meaningful human experiences to everyone with AI.
