Rime, 기업용 음성 AI 지연 시간 문제 해결을 위해 $24M 투자 유치
음성 AI 스타트업 Rime가 $24M 시리즈 A를 유치하고 Mayo Clinic 같은 기업의 지연 시간을 줄이는 음성 간(speech-to-speech) 모델을 구축하며, 기존 IVR 시스템 대체를 목표로 하고 있습니다.
voice ai startup rime secured $24m in series a funding to transition from separate pipelines to integrated speech-to-speech models, reducing reliance on orchestration and improving interaction latency. the company records its own conversational data rather than scraping the web, allowing its phoneme-based architecture to master brand entities without client retraining. with customers like mayo Clinic and Dialpad, Rime aims to replace legacy IVRs by solving latency issues that currently make voice AI feel robotic to end users. the round was led by M13 Ventures with participation from Twilio Ventures.
