The AI chatbot space is getting pretty crowded. What started with just ChatGPT in 2022 has exploded to include competitors from Google, Meta, Anthropic, and more. That’s good for us, the consumers. More competition means hopefully more innovation.
Now, another AI company wants to take a shot at knocking the likes of ChatGPT and Gemini off their respective pedestals. Kyutai, a French AI company founded by billionaire Xavier Niel, just launched Moshi, a new chatbot that, according to the company, can understand and relate to humans better than anything on the market.
It’s designed for hyper-human-like conversations. What sets it apart from ChatGPT is twofold. First, the announcement specifically references voice mode as the main way of interacting with the bot. This comes only two weeks after OpenAI had to delay the launch of its own voice mode for optimization. Second, Moshi ships with various accents (hooray, Irish!), seventy different speaking styles, and can even understand the tone of your voice.
According to Tech Radar, Moshi was built with a pretty extensive fine-tuning process, including training it on over one hundred thousand synthetic dialogues generated to TTS (Text-to-Speech). Kyuti also worked with a professional voice artist to ensure the bot's dialogue sounded natural and engaging.
The company’s social accounts released a pretty extensive thread showcasing the bot at work. On first pass, it looks pretty darn good at small talk, and it can even handle role-playing. One of the things that really stood out is just how low the latency is. Apparently, it’s the lowest latency option on the market right now.
If you want to try Moshi, you can visit the site to see the demo after completing a short onboarding process.

Many founders will tell you that it’s not about overnight success. It’s about getting back up after failure and trying again. Calvin Chen, the founder of YC company Fetcher, knows this all too well and wrote what I think is an A+ essay on how to turn your suffering into growth.
