Curious talkers get a free preview of named voice agents that search, take notes and set reminders.
Kenning's take
What it does
Sesame is a voice-first app for talking with AI agents named Maya, Miles, Simone and Charlie, each with its own personality and memory. People talk to an agent out loud or by text, and it can search the web, take notes, set reminders and sum up the conversation afterwards.
- four voice agents with distinct personalities
- memory shared across voice and text
- web search, notes and reminders during a chat
- incognito mode that saves nothing
Who it suits. Suits curious people who would rather talk an idea through out loud than type to a chatbot.
