want voice
everywhere . Businesses are not ready. Products are not ready.
We’re building the infrastructure that helps developers close the gap between the raw model and voice AI in production. Give it a try here .
We launched in March, scaled revenue, and raised a Series A from a top-tier firm this past week. We’re a small team of 6 and growing. We're building out the founding team in-person in SF to scale what’s working.
