Expression Measurement for Voice Agent Testing

About Roark AI

Roark AI provides a comprehensive platform for monitoring, evaluating, and simulating customer calls specifically for Voice AI developers. Their innovative solution eliminates the need for hours of manual testing by instantly simulating real customer scenarios and identifying potential failures before they reach customers, serving companies across healthcare, customer support, and service-oriented businesses.

The Challenge: Limited Visibility into Voice AI Performance

Voice AI developers have historically struggled with a significant blind spot: the inability to gain clear visibility and actionable insights into their voice agents' performance before deployment. Without effective tools to proactively identify interaction failures or inefficiencies, developers were forced to rely on post-deployment feedback.

Roark AI needed a solution that could provide real-time, detailed insights not only into conversational effectiveness but also into the emotional dynamics of interactions—a critical component for creating truly effective voice agents.

The Solution: Hume's Expression Measurement API

Roark AI integrated Hume's Expression Measurement API to develop a comprehensive platform with three key components:

Emotionally Intelligent Simulations: Hume's API powers realistic simulations that accurately replicate the emotional nuances of customer interactions, allowing developers to test voice agents in scenarios that closely mirror real-world conditions.

Real-time Sentiment Analysis: During simulations, Roark's platform leverages Hume's API to analyze customer sentiment in real-time, detecting potential issues before they impact actual customers and providing immediate feedback.

Detailed Emotional Analytics: The platform delivers in-depth insights into emotional dynamics, helping developers identify subtle emotional cues and create more empathetic, effective voice agents that respond appropriately to customer needs.

Results

The integration of Hume's API has yielded significant benefits:

• 50% reduction in negative customer feedback within just one month for customer support clients
• 60% less time spent on manual testing, allowing developers to focus on improving agent capabilities
• Less than one week integration time from setup to live deployment
• Enhanced developer confidence when releasing agents into real-world situations

Voice AI developers using Roark's platform express significantly higher confidence in their deployments, knowing they have accurate emotional and conversational insights from Hume to rely on. With a vision to become the "AWS for Voice AI," Roark is particularly excited about deepening their use of emotional analytics in predictive contexts.
