Upvoting, but also adding that we should have some more generic way of using various models extended features. For example Cartesia also has additional voice characteristics (emotion, speed). Speed is coming up as SUPER important for communicating with older people.
The emotion allows you to create much more natural sounding voices with emotion and slow them down for people. (https://docs.cartesia.ai/user-guides/voice-control)

Add Hume.AI EVI as an available model

For more emotionally intelligent speech

Definitely upvoting, but I'd assumed they would be competitors since Hume are planning to implement phone lines soon. Collab could hopefully help both companies though too!

My comment was from about 10 weeks ago when Hume hadn't yet implemented phone calls. Having said that it would still be nice to use Hume as a model within vapi so you could drop it into premade vapi projects, but not essential by any means.

Humi.AI looks amazing too, defo a great combo!

honestly.. as I'm working on side project in little spare time I have, if Vapi integrate with Humi.AI then I assume I can just activate/configure it though my existing Vapi integration.
Alternatively, I'd have to do the work to integrate Humi.AI API (which is fine but I think it would take more time).
Are you aware of any differences between direct integration vs Humi.AI via Vapi?

+1 for Hume.AI integration
1/ Hume API is now public (as of four days ago)
2/ Hume API can improve voice model steer-ability as it can better detect emotional states and user intent

Slava Kurilyak Definitely Upvoting this. I did bring this up in one of the office hours couple of weeks ago but not quite sure what's been up!
@VAPI Hume's EVI within VAPI will be a Game-Changer!
