Realtime TTS and STT models, LLM serving, and the inference behind both, all through modular APIs. Customers cut voice and AI costs 40% to 95% after moving to Inworld.
Ongoing, personal, emotionally engaging AI interaction. Relationship-building, emotional connection, and entertainment at scale. “ Inworld's TTS-2 marks a real step forward in emotionally expressive voice synthesis. When combined with the conversational intelligence of LiveKit agents, it enables interactions that feel genuinely human, responsive, nuanced, and alive in ways that feel natural. ” “ I've never seen steering work like this before TTS-2. The output is extremely natural and faithful to the steering prompt, even when it's hyper-specific. The biggest battle you fight with TTS is feeling bland, stale, and robotic.

ChatGPT▲1,643A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun.
