Sesame plans to build lightweight eyewear with access to an AI companion.
The first part of their 2-step plan is to build a voice AI companion. They showcased two voices in their research preview, “Maya” (female) and “Miles” (male), built on a novel Conversational Speech Model (CSM) trained on approximately 1 million hours of publicly available audio. The model enables real-time, expressive conversations with minimal latency. Try out the demo
