EVI (Empathetic Voice Interface) is a Web-based (no app needed) voice conversation that captures your feelings from your voice. EVI interprets emotional expressions and generates empathic responses.
Asking EVI what its role is, it answered: “My role is to analyze the emotional expressions in your voice and respond in a way that validates your feelings and hopefully provides a bit of comfort or perspective. I am here, focused on your words and tone, ready to have an open and meaningful conversation.”
Hume is a research lab and technology company. Its mission is to ensure that artificial intelligence is built to serve human goals and emotional well-being. We envision a future where AI systems use scientific approaches to fulfill human needs and their work is guided by The Hume Initiative. Emotional intelligence is the missing ingredient needed to build AI systems that proactively find ways to improve your quality of life.
MIT’s Affective Computing group has been researching this topic for some time.
