Voice AI company whose personal agent, Maya, previews as a free iOS app.
Sesame is a voice AI company building personal agents "for curious people," designed to follow a thought, work out an idea, or discover something new in natural conversation.
Its conversational voice assistant is available as a free preview app on iOS, and the company says it is coming to intelligent eyewear in 2027.
Ian called Sesame's Maya the most impressive voice agent he has ever heard, and he is not paid to say it. He told the story live in Session 007: he asked Maya about a video where she got stuck saying potato over and over, and she answered "oh, that's so embarrassing, we've been trying to get that one scrubbed." That is improvisation, not a script, and it runs on Gemini under the hood.
We keep Sesame on the list as the benchmark for how close voice AI is to human. Session 007's voice-agent examples work today because they are internal, where nobody minds a robot; Maya is the preview of the external version. Download the free iPhone app, talk to her for five minutes, then re-run your own timeline for when a voice agent can face your customers.
Yes, Sesame has a free tier. Free preview app on iOS (stated on the live and on sesame.com).
