WaveForms AI’s Post

Today we are thrilled to introduce WaveForms AI, an Audio Large Language Models (LLMs) research & product company aiming to solve the Speech Turing Test and bring Emotional Intelligence to AI. Enriching AI with a social-emotional layer will bring it closer to what makes us fundamentally human: our emotions, relationships, and the way we interact with one another. Our North Star is the pursuit of the dream of Emotional General Intelligence - creating human-AI connections that feel natural, personal, and deeply engaging. WaveForms AI was founded by Alexis Conneau, a world leading Audio and Text LLM researchers and co-creator of OpenAI’s GPT4-o Advanced Voice Mode neural networks, along with Coralie Lemaitre, a distinguished leader in business and product strategy from Google, who brings exceptional leadership and strategic vision. We have raised $40M in seed funding from our great partners at a16z. We are hiring the world’s best AI engineers in our office in San Francisco, California. Join us if you want to build something #magical that will unlock new frontiers in how we experience AI: waveforms.ai/careers. Read our blog post at waveforms.ai/about for more details. Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far, and we hope you'll follow along in our journey.
