Who needs GPT-4o Advanced Voice Mode? Hume’s EVI 2 is here with emotionally inflected voice AI and API


For developers looking to build in voice AI features in addition to or beside human call centers, Hume's EVI 2 may be a compelling option.

The new Empathic Voice Interface 2 (EVI 2) was announced last week, and introduces a range of enhanced features aimed at improving naturalness, emotional responsiveness, and customizability while significantly lowering the cost for developers and businesses. In fact, Cowen told VentureBeat that he was seeing and hoping to see even more businesses move beyond kicking people out of their apps and sending them to a separate EVI-equipped AI voice assistant to handle tech and customer support issues. According to Hume AI, EVI 2 is also being positioned to work seamlessly with other large language models (LLMs) and integrate with tools like web search, ensuring developers have access to a full suite of capabilities for their applications.
