New York-based startup Hume AI has launched its latest innovation, the EVI 3 (pronounced 'Evee'), a cutting-edge Empathic Voice Interface model designed to transform the way we interact with artificial intelligence. Announced on May 29, 2025, this new model promises to deliver highly expressive and humanlike voices with unprecedented customization capabilities.
The EVI 3 model stands out for its rapid custom voice creation feature, allowing developers and businesses to craft unique AI voices tailored to specific needs. Whether for customer service chatbots or interactive applications, this technology aims to enhance user engagement through emotionally intelligent voice interactions.
Hume AI's focus on emotional intelligence in voice technology sets it apart from competitors. The EVI 3 can adapt its tone and inflection to convey a wide range of emotions, making conversations with AI feel more natural and empathetic, a feature that could redefine user experiences across industries.
While specific pricing for the EVI 3 API remains to be announced, industry sources suggest it will follow a usage-based model, aligning with Hume's previous offerings. This approach could make the technology accessible to a wide range of businesses, from startups to large enterprises, looking to integrate voice AI solutions.
The launch of EVI 3 comes on the heels of Hume AI's earlier successes, including the EVI 2 and the Octave text-to-speech model, both of which emphasized expressive voices and affordability. With this latest release, Hume continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI voice technology.
As the demand for personalized and emotionally engaging AI interactions grows, Hume AI is positioning itself as a leader in the field. The EVI 3 model is now available for developers to explore, and the company encourages interested parties to visit their website for more details on how to get started with this transformative technology.
