- Sesame launched a public‑preview iOS app for its conversational AI agents, available in 39 countries, free for now, with a possible sign‑up waitlist.
- Maya is one of four AI agents—Maya, Miles, Simone, and Charlie—each with distinct voice, personality, point of view, and memory, and was part of the research preview that attracted over a million users in its first weeks.
- Miles is another agent with a distinct voice and memory, also featured in the research preview that reached over a million users early on.
- Sequoia and other investors had previously backed Sesame with a $250 million Series B round, supporting the development of the app and its future hardware plans.
- Sesame plans to extend its agents to intelligent eyewear by 2027, enabling them to take actions on users’ behalf beyond conversation.
Why it matters: Consumers gain a more human‑like chat experience that can pause, retrieve up‑to‑date facts, and resume mid‑sentence, while Sesame secures early market traction and data to fuel its longer‑term goal of action‑capable agents and 2027 eyewear, potentially expanding its revenue beyond app subscriptions.
