Berlin-based ai|coustics has raised €5 million in a seed round led by Partech, with participation from Acurio, Intuition, Arc, Connect, FOV Ventures and several angel investors including Mehdi Ghissassi, Gert Lanckriet, Hazel Savage and Thomas Wolf.
ai|coustics uses generative and reconstructive AI to deliver studio-quality sound from any voice recording, regardless of the device or environment. The company says its technology repairs missing audio frequencies and preserves the original speaker’s timbre, aligning with the growing demand for authenticity in voice AI.
