Hi, I’m Lily, CEO and Co-Founder of Rime.
We’ve just launched a major update to our brand and web app, and I’d love to share how we got here.
Rime’s Evolution
When we started Rime, our goal was clear: to build the fastest and most lifelike voice AI models. But over time, our thinking has evolved.
Low latency and zero hallucinations are now table stakes. To truly meet the needs of our early customers, we’ve had to push beyond what’s expected and redefine what best-in-class voice AI looks like.
How We Compare to the Competition
A massive public company claims to power a million conversations a day on their cloud platform. We're already doing that.
A well-funded growth-stage startup reports generating 1,000 years of audio over their lifetime. We'll be there in two months.
Here’s the kicker. Our Mist TTS model is still young.
That’s because Rime has built something truly extraordinary: the best voice AI for real-time conversations at enterprise scale.
Two Key Reasons Why
1. Precision in Pronunciation
When you’re handling high-volume, real-world customer interactions, accuracy matters. Brand names, product lists, currencies, IDs, spelled-out emails—every single one needs to be pronounced correctly.
These last-mile challenges are actually first-mile priorities.
That’s why we specifically train our models on these nuanced scenarios. Our phoneme-based architecture (rather than traditional text-based models) makes it incredibly easy to add and refine pronunciations, ensuring unmatched accuracy at scale.
2. Authenticity That Converts
When serving diverse customers across different regions and languages, a personalized AI voice that reflects a caller’s accent and demographics can significantly improve business outcomes.
Whether it’s increasing successful orders, enhancing customer satisfaction (CSAT), or improving call containment rates, authenticity drives real impact.
That’s why we collect our own proprietary conversational data, bringing everyday people into our recording studio to build the highest-quality training sets.
A Small but Mighty Team
What’s even more impressive? We’ve achieved all of this with a tiny team of ten and just a fraction of our competitors’ funding.
Our team is made up of brilliant linguists, machine learning PhDs, exceptional engineers, and seasoned startup veterans—all working together to push the boundaries of voice AI.
And we’re just getting started.
