Sesame

Sesame is a technology company focused on building voice interfaces that aim to be nuanced, intimate, and genuinely useful. The company's core approach involves the tight integration of hardware, software, and machine learning. Its primary product is lifelike voice interfaces designed to move beyond the limitations of conventional voice assistants.

The team is small and interdisciplinary, comprising long-tenured experts across machine learning, hardware, software, speech generation, personality modeling, and entertainment. Sesame operates large GPU clusters and emphasizes a rapid development cycle, moving from whiteboard concepts to production in days rather than quarters. The company values deliberate and thoughtful product design and seeks creative individuals interested in crossing the uncanny valley of voice.

Sesame has a geographic presence in San Francisco, Bellevue, and New York.
