Hume AI provides specialized emotional intelligence technology that detects, understands, and responds to human emotional expressions across modalities. Their platform combines advanced speech analysis, facial expression recognition, and language understanding to capture nuanced emotional states beyond the capabilities of general-purpose AI systems.
