Operations Associate (San Francisco)
MetaVoice, San Francisco, CA, United States
Our goal is an
AI for voice conversations that's as natural as talking to a person.
MetaVoice
is founded by:
Sid , founding engineer at
Wayve.ai
( $2B+ raised)
Vatsal , co-created Alexa’s first AI voice.
Today's voice AI fails at real-world conversations.
It’s slow, turn-based like a walkie-talkie, breaks with interruptions, and doesn’t understand emotion.
Developers can't build compelling experiences and users disengage.
This limits voice AI
to simple receptionist tasks and basic customer support, blocking meaningful services (sales, therapy, coaching) where dialogue and emotional intelligence matter most.
Scaling current tech does not work.
Our approach is a duplex speech-to-speech model
that learns conversational behaviour directly from data.
That’s how we
make voice the most natural way to interact with AI.
