Flagship Model: EVI 2
Our latest voice-to-voice model converses rapidly and fluently with users, understands users' tone of voice, and generates the right tone of voice. Capable of emulating a wide range of personalities, accents, and speaking styles, it can be tailored to each application and user.
Our model capabilities
Multimodal emotional intelligence
EVI 2 merges language and voice into a single model trained specifically for emotional intelligence, enabling it to emphasize the right words, laugh or sigh at appropriate times, and much more, guided by prompting to suit your use case.
Voice customization without the risks
Create synthetic voices unique to any app or user, without voice cloning. Our novel approach lets you modulate EVI 2’s voice along dimensions like timbre, pitch, nasality, perceived gender, and more, then control its tone and speaking style with your prompt.
Support for any LLM and tool
Let EVI 2 generate all the language or integrate any external LLM or tool. EVI 2 will seamlessly incorporate any output into the conversation without sacrificing on expressiveness, personality, speaking style, or instruction-following capabilities.
