What Is Audio-Native Voice Intelligence? | Modulate CTO Explains Velma
What is audio-native voice intelligence, and how is it different from a standard voice AI observability tool? đź‘€ Modulate CEO and co-founder Carter Huffman explains Velma, Modulate's ensemble listening model that analyzes raw call audio directly - without routing through a transcript first. Unlike tools that re-run a transcript through another LLM, Velma composes many small, efficient models (each tuned to a signal like emotion, tone, cadence, or deepfake detection) into a single understanding of a conversation - at a fraction of the cost of a comparable foundation-model approach.
