New Emotion-Sensing AI Voice Assistant Puts OpenAI on Alert

Another breakthrough in the AI revolution is that AI can now understand human emotions. Yes! You heard it right: Meet Moshi, an AI-powered voice assistant. Kyutai (a $300 million France-based company and the creators of Moshi) claims that the tool can understand human emotions. 

Many people are quoting Moshi as a new milestone in the AI revolution and a potential contender to giants like ChatGPT. Like other AI voice assistants, Moshi offers a natural, engaging, conversational approach but with a twist. Moshi can understand the emotions of its users based on their tone of voice. 

Remember when OpenAI announced the introduction of an AI voice assistant to GPT-4o? The video of the voice assistant was breaking the internet. However, due to technical reasons, OpenAI has delayed the release of the voice assistant. 

Kyuti saw the opportunity and launched Moshi. So, let’s take a look at how this tool works: 

Moshi’s purpose is to simulate real-life conversations similar to those of smart speakers, thanks to its powerful Helium 7B language model. However, it goes one step further. Moshi has the ability to speak with a variety of accents and emotive styles, more than 70, to be precise.

Moshi’s remarkable skills are the product of precise research based development. The chatbot was extensively fine tuned using a large dataset of more than 100,000 fictitious conversations produced by text-to-speech technologies. Kyutai even worked with a voice actor to make Moshi’s answers appear interesting and genuine. 

I know you all are excited to use the tool, so good news for you. Moshi is currently available for you to experience. Visit the website to engage in a free five-minute demo interacting with the Al virtual assistant. Ask it anything, from simple queries to intricate ones, and watch how Moshi adjusts its answers to fit your tone of voice and manner of speaking.

Kyutai is planning an ambitious plan for Moshi. They are dedicated to releasing Moshi as an open-source project that promotes transparency and innovation in the field of artificial intelligence development. Developers and researchers can solve ethical concerns about artificial intelligence while further exploring the model’s capabilities by sharing its code and infrastructure.

Prominent individuals like French billionaire Xavier Niel support this open-source strategy, highlighting Moshi’s potential to influence AI in the future. Kyutai plans to provide Moshi with even more sophisticated characteristics. Watermarking, AI audio identification, and signature tracking systems are a few of them.
