Sesame

Sesame develops personal AI agents designed to engage users in natural, voice-based conversation. The company is known for its conversational speech generation research, including a voice model demo released in 2025 that drew attention for its low-latency, expressive speech synthesis. Sesame is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

The company's flagship product is a conversational AI assistant available in preview on iOS, intended to help users explore ideas and follow lines of thought through voice interaction. Sesame has also announced plans to build intelligent eyewear, with a consumer hardware device targeted for release around 2027, positioning the company at the intersection of conversational AI and wearable computing.

Sesame has raised early-stage venture funding to support its research and product development, including work led by co-founders with backgrounds in consumer hardware and AI. The company remains relatively small, with a team focused on AI research, audio modeling, and hardware engineering.
