Join us in Atlanta on April 10th and explore the landscape of security workforce. We will explore the vision, benefits, and use cases of AI for security teams. Request an invite here.
Yesterday, a new startup called Hume AI announced it had raised $50 million in a Series B round led by EQT Ventures with participation from Union Square Ventures, Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross, Metaplanet, Northwell Holdings, Comcast Ventures, and LG Technology Ventures.
The startup was co-founded and is led by CEO Alan Cowen, a former researcher at Google DeepMind. Beyond Cowen’s pedigree and a general frothing interest in AI startups from the VC world — what else could command such a sizable round?
Hume AI’s differentiator from numerous other AI model providers and startups is in its focus on creating an AI assistant — and an API for that assistant that other enterprises can build chatbots atop of, as well as some of its underlying data — that understands human emotion, reacts appropriately to it, and conveys it back to the user.
Unlike ChatGPT and Claude 3 which are primarily known for being text-based chatbots, Hume AI also uses voice conversations as its interface, listening to a human user’s intonation, pitch, pauses, and other features of their voice alone.
