Sesame The New Amazing Voice AI

Artificial Intelligence for Business Leaders: Make the most of AI - Udemy Course Discount here

Sesame is making waves in the AI voice chat space, and based on what’s circulating, it’s outperforming other voice assistants in a few key ways that really set it apart. Here’s why it’s being hailed as better than the competition:

First off, Sesame nails "voice presence." It’s got a knack for sounding emotionally aware, with natural pauses, tone shifts, and a cadence that feels human.

Another big edge is its emotional intelligence. It picks up on your mood—like if you laugh or sound down—and adjusts its responses accordingly, sometimes even throwing in a comforting word or a playful jab. In demos, people have noted it asking follow-ups like “What’s making you nervous?” instead of just dishing out generic advice, which feels way more engaging than the flat, scripted vibes you get from Alexa or Siri. One tester even said it caught them giggling and asked why, which is a level of nuance you don’t see elsewhere.

It’s also got conversational memory that keeps things coherent. It doesn’t just reset after every exchange—it references stuff you said earlier, making it feel like a real chat.

It is quite amazing, to see it in action I recommend this video below. I'm sure you'll be impressed as I was:

Here’s why Sesame stands out

As of March 5, 2025:

  • Voice Presence: Uses Conversational Speech Model for natural, human-like tone and flow.
  • Emotional Intelligence: Detects mood (e.g., laughter) and adapts with nuanced responses.
  • Conversational Memory: Retains context, references past exchanges seamlessly.
  • Customization: Adjustable pitch, speed, and tone for personalized experience.
  • Future Potential: Plans for 20+ languages and partial open-sourcing.


Compared to ChatGPT’s Voice Mode or Gemini Live, it’s smoother, more engaging, and less robotic—though still a demo, not fully duplex or device-integrated yet. Users call it a game-changer.
