A Potentially More Humane Way to Let the Machines In

As Inception Point scales to thousands of AI personalities, they chose Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) to deliver across three critical capabilities: Real Expressiveness: Their AI hosts need to not only read the script, but build a genuine relationship with their audience. EVI brings emotional intelligence and personality to every episode, transforming basic narration into an engaging conversation. Enterprise Scalability: Producing 3,000+ episodes weekly demands consistent, high-quality voices that don't degrade under volume. EVI maintains studio-grade audio fidelity whether Inception Point is creating 50 episodes or 50,000. Multi-Format Ready: As Inception Point expands beyond podcasting into short-form video, social media content, and interactive experiences, EVI provides voices that work across every medium.

Today we’re launching Octave 2, the second generation of our frontier voice AI model for text-to-speech. We just made a preview of Octave 2 available on our platform and through our API.

While traditional note-taking apps require students to manually scroll and search through content, Coconote is creating interactive study experiences through conversational AI. Coconote’s voice chat feature, powered by Hume's EVI, helps users transform static notes into dynamic conversations. Students can: Ask natural questions about their lecture content Receive contextual explanations referencing specific notes, and Engage in quiz-style conversations for active learning—all through natural voice interaction.
