Sesame builds personal agents for curious people. Follow a thought. Work out an idea. Discover something new. Preview available now on iOS. Coming to intelligent eyewear in 2027. CONVERSATIONAL INTELLIGENCE Sesame agents are ultra-low latency conversation partners that know how to read the room. When to respond, when to listen, and when to get out of the way. When a conversation goes somewhere, your agent follows: searching the web, creating notes, setting reminders, and summarizing takeaways. NATURALLY PERSONALIZED Choose from Maya, Miles, Simone, or Charlie. Each has a distinct personality, a point of view, and memory that grows over time — through conversation, the way you'd actually get to know someone. Memory is continuous across voice and text, so nothing gets lost. Over time, your interactions become more personalized, more magical, and more useful. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your conversations are private. Delete your data anytime. Use Incognito mode and nothing is saved to memory or Sesame servers. No ads. No selling your data. Ever. HOW PEOPLE USE SESAME Curious Exploration: When something catches your attention, Sesame can help you with quick answers or a deep dive. Your agent knows when to go deeper, when to offer context, and when to connect one idea to another. Brainstorming: Some ideas only make sense once you've said them out loud. Sesame agents follow the thread, connect the dots, and help you take the first step. Personal Sounding Board: Before a hard conversation or a big call, Sesame helps you get clear. Talk through what you know and what you don't. Your agent asks the right questions and has no stake in the outcome.
