Rime AI Secures $24M to Smarter Voice Calls | Tech News

Rime, the voice AI startup revolutionizing customer service calls, just landed $24M in Series A funding led by M13 Ventures. Instead of scraping random internet audio, they record real, branded conversations in-studio—making their AI sound eerily natural and instantly grasp industry jargon. Founded by Stanford and Amazon Alexa veterans, Rime is betting big on integrated speech-to-speech tech to eliminate lag, handle messy real-world audio, and ditch clunky voice bots. With new hires including a Chief Scientist from Meta and NVIDIA, they’re scaling from 35 to 100+ engineers and already powering calls for Mayo Clinic and Dialpad—proving AI can finally feel human, not robotic.
