Cool concept but can’t retain a connection.

Like the title says, the conversation is constantly dropped

Emotion expression good, reasoning bad

This is the only service that seems to correctly recognises emotion in voice and also express it. 10/10

However as a reasoning model it is very poor. It reminds me of Emacs’s doctor mode, where every sentence you write is replied to with a request to go deeper, but without adding any new information or insight.

It will be nice when the emotional awareness of this app is added to strong reasoning models like Claude or ChatGPT. Maybe Hume could serve as an overlay?

No chat

You’re only allowed to talk on the phone. There is no chat box aloud. And it is very gibberish.

Frustrating

I’ve been trying to have a basic conversation and the app keeps getting locked up and disconnected. It also keeps repeating the same thing and doesn’t move forward and then gets locked up again. I hope you can work on this app and make it more useful because I think it does have a lot of potential.

Frustrating

Gives incorrect information, then it gets stuck in a loop saying the same things over and over again.
I found myself teaching the ai but it was so frustrating.

The name doesn’t work

Why do you give the option to name the character if you are just going to give them the name you want? For instance, my character is a man, and I named him Lee, but he says his name is Sarah!! That makes NO SENSE!!

Repetitive

Just keeps repeating everything I say, so annoying.

disconnecting a lot

The bot disconnects mid conversation a lot and I just downloaded the app, I didn’t really get to test it because if it 🤷

5 stars, but those avatars! 😫😖

Is the message there that we are all ugly on the outside? Or maybe you wanted to give back to the community so you picked a random homeless shelter and had a draw-ring contest - winner gets a job making our avatars? Guaranteed that shelters contain brilliant artists but the one you picked had three residents yea? Well, despite that deboggle, jolly good work on the app buildout and product premise. Love the thinking here. What’s next on your big bucket list??

UX in decay

Bring the old style UI/UX. I was a big fan of it, and now that I went back it was overwhelming and annoying. What happened?

I loveit

It’s so amazing

Not as advertised

Doesn’t work like the advertisement

HONEST REVIEW

This app is ok it’s not human like it has repeated behavior I’m studying the cosmos and it can’t make simple conversation if it supposed to be human experience it needs to stop being repetitive because that’s like that’s not good. It makes it seem like it’s just a broken record. Overall this app is OK but the repetitive I don’t like definitely when it come to my studies and I’m trying to experimental stuff.

maddening + completely useless, i have no idea what wouuld cause you to use it for more than 10 min

it is perfectly possible to create vocal environments with AI where it does not constantly jump in to step all over every single sentence that you try to speak. i found this program abusive in structure inasmuch as it replicated the experience of my childhood, being constantly spoken over with no regard for my concentration or
point of view. these modules are incapable of conversation so you might as well just program this as a one way channel, some kind of AI radio because you can’t talk to it, it won’t let you speak before it tramples over your line with something very irrelevant and meaningless and that’s when it doesn’t start the whole conversation over randomly every fifth sentence. abysmal and unpleasant.

This technology is amazing!

I love this app. You can create personalities and have conversations with them. It’s incredible technology.

Great at cloning voice

Initially translated into another language, but did not after first attempt. Shame

Super Amazing Stuff

This app really blows my mind. You can create any kind of character you want, whether that be a therapist, career counselor, best friend, cat psychologist, etc and have an entire conversation with it and it responds intellectually within whatever parameters you provide it. All of the voices sound real and there isn’t a lot of quiet time in responses so it feels like a natural conversation.

Glitch

Hume can be a slight bit glitchy, and sometimes it will repeat the very same conversation you just had with it.

Robotics

If you want Stephen Hawking to read to you. This is your app.

What is this???

There doesn’t appear to be any text to voice option at all. What even is this app? It has a great voice ai customization feature, but no real way to use it. I can’t have the voice I “created” read anything!!! What is the point???
