Empathy Engine™ · Emotional-AI middleware

AI that hears how your customer feels — not just what they say.

Humae sits between your customers and your existing voice and chat systems. It reads emotional signals in every conversation and adapts tone, pacing, and escalation in real time — so automation stops sounding automated.

CALL 2481 · BILLING DISPUTE EMOTIONAL SIGNAL · LIVE
00:00 — frustrated
Raised pitch, rapid speech, interruptions detected. Engine slows pacing, drops scripted upsell.
02:41 — reassured
Tension easing. Engine shifts to a warmer register and confirms the resolution plan step by step.
04:12 — resolved
Calm, steady signal. Issue closed in one contact. No escalation, no callback.

Every conversation has an emotional arc. Most automation ignores it — and pays for that in escalations, churn, and repeat contacts. Humae makes the arc visible and acts on it.

The platform

Middleware, not a rip-and-replace.

Humae plugs into the IVR, chatbot, and contact-center stack you already run. Three capabilities, one API.

Detect

Read the signal

Real-time emotion and sentiment detection from voice and text — pitch, pacing, word choice, silence. Works across channels and languages, on live traffic.

Adapt

Change the response

The engine adjusts tone, tempo, and dialog strategy mid-conversation: de-escalate, simplify, skip the script, or hand off to a human with full emotional context attached.

Learn

See the pattern

Emotional analytics across every contact: where frustration spikes, which flows create it, and which fixes actually move CSAT — evidence, not anecdotes.

How it works

One layer between your customer and your stack.

Customer signal Voice or chat, any channel. Audio features and text stream in as the conversation happens.
Empathy Engine™ Detects emotional state, scores trajectory, and returns adaptation directives in milliseconds.
Your existing stack IVR, chatbot, LLM agent, or CCaaS platform executes the adapted response. No platform migration.

Deployment is an API integration, not a replatforming project. Humae is built by people who have shipped conversational AI inside large enterprise stacks — it respects the systems you already have.

Industries

Built for conversations where emotion is the stakes.

Healthcare

HIPAA-aware by design

Patients don't call about claims and refills in a neutral state — they call anxious, confused, or in pain. Humae detects distress early, softens automated flows, and routes the moments that need a human to a human, with context.

Designed around HIPAA-conscious data handling from day one, informed by hands-on healthcare compliance experience.

Telecom

Churn lives in the call

Billing disputes and outage calls are where loyalty is won or lost. Humae spots escalating frustration before the cancel request, adapts the flow in real time, and flags save-worthy moments to your retention playbook.

Fintech

Trust under pressure

Fraud alerts, declined payments, disputed charges — high-stress moments where a tone-deaf bot destroys trust. Humae keeps automated conversations calm, clear, and compliant when it matters most.

Why Humae

Built by operators who run conversational AI at scale.

Humae comes from fifteen-plus years shipping voice and conversational AI inside Fortune-10 telecom — platforms handling hundreds of millions of customer interactions a year. We've seen exactly where automation breaks trust, because we've run it at the largest scale there is. Humae is the layer we always wished existed.
