We’re building all-day optical glasses that will be a bona fide computing device. Invisible, ambient computing, available at your fingertips, that fades away when you’re not using it. Our assistant is designed to be the logical operating system of that device — one that’s voice oriented and as intuitive as talking to a friend.
Frames you love to wear, with an assistant you enjoy talking to.
Voice assistants available to everyone today. Glasses coming 2027.
This release is a step towards our vision—a voice OS on the frames that can connect to your tools, act on your behalf, and help you throughout your day.

I'm excited to share some of what i've been working on at Sesame!
turnbench.sesame.com is our turn-taking benchmark for real-time conversation: when to speak and when to yield
Ryan Brown retweeted
To craft for conversation, timing is everything. Natural conversation is a social dance, and timing matters just as much as tone and delivery.
Most voice AI doesn't do this well yet.
So we built TurnBench: an open benchmark that measures whether voice AI knows when your turn is really over, and when an "mm-hmm" is agreement, not an interruption.
Learn more about how we built this on our blog.

Voice is the next great interface shift.
We're partnering with @brendaniribe, @natemitchell, @_apkumar, @2rhb & the @Sesame team to bring computers to life, not just as tools, but as thought partners.

It’s such an absolute joy to tinker on the @FrameworkPuter laptop. Screwdriver included, QRCodes with video links on every upgradable component, and it’s signed on the inside 🥰

We just released a CSM base model variant. It’s powerful, finetunes well, and is a great size for local use.
