ai|coustics develops voice AI solutions that bring studio-quality sound to voice applications via an API and SDK. Its product optimizes workflows and reduces post-production by repairing home recordings, poor-quality microphones and environmental noise. The company targets the communication and content industries. Led by co-founder and CEO Fabian Seipel, ai|coustics already serves 500,000 users and lists clients including Elgato, DHD.audio, Deutsche Welle and Radio France. The company intends to use the funds to bring its AI-powered studio-quality sound to every platform and device. The team positions its technology to cut post-production workflows across platforms and devices. AI-coustics builds generative-AI models to improve speech intelligibility and reduce ambient noise across devices and recorded media. The company offers a web app, an API for post-processing, and an SDK for integration into apps, workflows and hardware. Its models are trained on speech samples recorded in the startup’s Berlin studio, where contributors are paid and the team simulates artifacts like reverberation, compression and clipping during training. AI-coustics currently monetizes via subscriptions, on-demand pricing and licensing, and reports about 20,000 users (not all paying) and five enterprise customers. Near-term plans include expanding the four-person team and improving the underlying speech-enhancing model, plus potential real-time use cases and embedding the technology in consumer devices. The founders emphasize recruiting diverse contributors to reduce bias in speech processing models.
