Hume AI EVI 2: the first voice AI with adaptive emotional intelligence
In one sentence Hume AI launches EVI 2, the first AI voice interface that adapts tone and rhythm based on the detected emotional state of the interlocutor, with API available for developers.
Artificial voices have always been emotionally monotone: they speak the same way whether you're laughing or crying, stressed or relaxed. Hume AI EVI 2 breaks this barrier with a radically different approach.
EVI 2 analyzes in real time the tone, rhythm, and vocal characteristics of the speaker to detect emotional state, and consequently adapts its own vocal response: slows down if the user seems anxious, changes register if it senses frustration, uses a softer tone if it perceives sadness.
The API available for developers opens the possibility of creating voice assistants that respond humanly to user emotions — a breakthrough for applications in therapeutic, educational, and customer care fields.
