About Hume AI

Hume AI is a pioneering company dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence for human well-being. Having recently raised a Series B funding round, we've launched a new flagship product: an empathic AI assistant that can be integrated into any application. Our innovative API captures not just words, but the subtle nuances of human communication such as vocal tones, word emphasis, and facial expressions, along with audience reactions. This innovative approach, known as “reinforcement learning from human expression” (RLHE), enables AI models to become better question-answerers, copywriters, tutors, call center agents, and more, even in text-only interfaces.

Our mission is to create technology that aligns with human goals through a deep understanding of emotional expressions. We continually contribute to groundbreaking scientific research, publishing in esteemed journals like Nature, and uphold ethical standards through our non-profit, The Hume Initiative.
