Hume's new EVI 3 model lets you customize AI voices - how to try it
Briefly

Hume AI has launched EVI 3, the third version of its Empathic Voice Interface model, enhancing interaction through a diverse range of humanlike voices. It features preprogrammed voices with distinct personas and allows users to customize their own voices effortlessly through natural language descriptions. This initiative aligns with a trend among AI firms to develop models with personalities. Hume emphasizes building empathy and emotional resonance in AI communication, prioritizing the believability of interactions over sheer power, contrasting with other leading AI companies.
"The launch reflects a broader effort among AI companies to build more personable and engaging models by training them to exhibit distinct 'personalities.'"
"Hume describes itself on its website as working 'to ensure that artificial intelligence is built to serve human goals and emotional well-being.'"
"You can simply describe the characteristics of your desired voice, using natural language, and the model will do the rest."
