American startup Hume is launching a voice interface with empathic capabilities, powered by a unique language model. This form of conversational artificial intelligence generates vocal responses adapted to the mood of the human with whom it interacts, to offer a far more natural experience than any other voice assistant to date.

Hume uses an Empathic Voice Interface (EVI), an innovative AI chatbot endowed with emotional intelligence, capable of analysing vocal tones to understand when users finish speaking, and optimising responses to achieve user satisfaction.
