Nuance Labs

Nuance Labs is a Seattle-based AI research company building a 'human foundation model': a real-time, full-duplex audiovisual system that can see, hear, reason, speak, and express emotion simultaneously, enabling photorealistic AI avatars that listen, react, interrupt, and respond like a real person. Founded by former Apple PhD researchers and backed by Accel, Lightspeed, South Park Commons, and NVIDIA, it targets applications in sales, customer service, coaching, and education.
