What Hume AI Does
Hume AI is a New York-based AI research company and API platform founded in 2021 by Alan Cowen, a former Google researcher known for semantic space theory in emotion science. Its flagship Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) is a speech-to-speech conversational model that analyzes tone, rhythm, and prosody to infer the speaker's emotional state and adjust its own vocal responses, alongside expression measurement APIs used in research and customer-experience applications.
Hume raised a $50 million Series B led by EQT Ventures with participation from Union Square Ventures, Comcast Ventures, and LG Technology Ventures in March 2024, positioning it as the emotional-intelligence specialist among voice AI providers.
