Hi everyone!
Most voice AI today, even the good ones, can still feel a bit generic. They might sound clear, but often lack true personality or a deep sense of emotional connection. Hume AI is tackling this head-on with their new third-gen speech-language model, EVI 3.
EVI 3 offers truly personalizable voice AI. It isn't stuck with a handful of standard voices, it can generate any voice and personality you describe with a prompt. This means interactions can feel much more unique and expressive, as the same underlying intelligence handles understanding you and crafting a spoken response.
Hume AI's blind comparison results suggest it delivers on that human-like quality, with EVI 3 rated higher than GPT-4o on empathy, expressiveness, and naturalness. It also has a neat "fast and slow thinking" ability, connecting to reasoning models and web search as it talks.
You can try EVI 3 now through their live demo and an iOS app (API access is coming). It's a compelling step towards voice AI feeling less like a tool and more like a genuine interaction.
