Overview
Sesame AI is a company founded in 2022 that develops conversational speech models with unusually natural timing and prosody. Its demonstration voices drew wide attention for sounding present in a conversation rather than reading text aloud, and it released a base speech model openly. The company is also building lightweight eyewear intended to keep an assistant available throughout the day.
