This is fantastic. It is also great to see someone like Alan who has worked hard for 10 years and is being rewarded with the creation of a great product.

[@petratilling2521]

It’s hysterical that the creator of this is one of the most low-affect person I’ve seen in a long time.

[@bside312]

35:47 Alan makes a pretty incredible statement. Exciting yet chilling

[@archiee1337]

Great guy, great product. Good luck!

[@jasonturner3234]

This is amazing .... just tested it and it very quick and intuitive

[@Experternas]

i tried Hume out and I don't know what usage I can get out of it yet but im Swedish but has a realatively high understanding of English grammar and pronounciation so I tested him out to see if he could guess what country I was from based on my dialect in English. He picked up that I was swedish and could sort of rank me higher than the average swede speaking english so that's pretty cool. Im sure this model will have a bunch of use cases over time. coool beans.

With reading facial expressions and emotional state, this can be an app integrated with wearable like Meta glasses. When summoned, it can give the user a real-time read of whoever they are interacting with or at least looking at.

The Hubspot ad read sounded vaguely like it was read by a Jason AI voice.

[@HarveyCastroMD]

Excellent talk. I appreciate it. I am an ER doctor. I think this will be big in medicine

[@Radik-lf6hq]

❤

[@thanos879]

Hopefully he remains in control of the decisions in the company. All those ideals could be thrown out if they become a big company.

[@mattkotler9100]

this is WILD

[@ashfsk100]

That assistant sounds like Harry from Resident Alien!!
