Tomato.ai launches zero-shot accent softening model to revolutionize call center industry
Tomato.ai, a startup co-founded by CEO Ofer Ronen and CTO James Fan, has unveiled a zero-shot machine learning model designed to soften accents in real-time for call center agents. The company, which recently raised $10 million in funding, and has now added an extension to their seed funding of $2.1M+ from existing investors Cardumen Capital and Recursive Ventures, as well as new investor Gaingels. This brings their total funding to over $12 million, positioning them for further growth and development.
“Tomato.ai is all about making communication easier around the world by reducing the level of accent heard by the listener on the content of the conversation,” Ronen explained in an interview with VentureBeat. “The goal is, is twofold. One is to improve the ability to follow what’s being said intelligibly. And then the other one is to improve trust.”
