About Resemble AI

Resemble AI is a generative voice AI company founded in 2019 by Zohaib Ahmed and Saqib Muhammad and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Ahmed, the CEO, previously worked as a software engineer at companies including Magic Leap and Blackberry, where his work with deep learning models sparked his interest in synthetic media and speech synthesis.

The company's core business revolves around providing a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that enables enterprises to create highly realistic and customizable synthetic voices. This is achieved through proprietary deep learning models for text-to-speech (TTS) and real-time speech-to-speech (S2S) voice conversion. Key features include voice cloning from small audio samples, multilingual support for over 60 languages, and the ability to control the emotional nuance of the generated speech. The business model is primarily subscription-based, with tiered pricing plans for different levels of usage, from individual creators to large enterprises requiring scalable solutions and API access.

Resemble AI serves a global clientele across various industries such as media, gaming, entertainment, advertising, and customer service. Notable clients and partners include Netflix, Universal Pictures, and The World Bank Group. The company has also gained recognition for its ethical approach to AI, developing tools like Resemble Detect to identify deepfaked audio and a watermarking feature to protect intellectual property. This focus on security is a key part of its enterprise offering.

The company has raised a total of $12 million over three funding rounds. Its latest was a Series A round in July 2023 for $8 million, led by Javelin Venture Partners with participation from Comcast Ventures, Craft Ventures, and Ubiquity Ventures.
