Everything behind Frank can be checked.

What backs Frank carries a date, a place and a photo: two competitions judged by an outside jury, the technology the real-time voice runs on, and where the team that builds it trained.

Two competitions in 2026, with a photo and a date.

An outside jury evaluated the product and moved it forward. They’re here because a third party can confirm them: date, place and an organization to ask. The order they happened in is on the Milestones page.

The voice runs on Cartesia Sonic 3.

Cartesia is a technology provider, not an investor or a client. It supplies the real-time speech synthesis for the counterpart. How that counterpart behaves, and how the session is analyzed once it ends, is the Frank team’s work.

What it does
Turns what the counterpart decides to say into voice, while the conversation is happening.
Why it matters
If the voice lags, the pressure breaks and the exercise stops working. The session answers in under 1.5 seconds.
What it isn’t
Not a commercial endorsement and not an investment. It’s the tool we make the voice with.

Frank is a member of NVIDIA Inception.

NVIDIA Inception is NVIDIA's program for startups. You get in by meeting published requirements, not by competing. NVIDIA did not invest in Frank, holds no equity in the company and does not endorse the product or its results: it is technical and go-to-market support, and nothing more than that.

Where the team trained.

The team building Frank trained at Universidad de Concepción and Duoc UC. We say it because it explains where Frank is built from, not because either institution endorses the product.

This is the team’s education, not an institutional endorsement. Neither institution vouches for or certifies the product.

What you can check, and who to ask.

Both competitions carry a date, a place and an organization you can ask. The engine’s fidelity is our own internal measurement, run against the academic reference tools, openSMILE eGeMAPS v02 and Praat, on the RAVDESS corpus of 24 speakers: .99 on pitch, .97 on loudness, .94 on harmonic quality.

That is engine fidelity, not validation of results: it does not imply these signals predict performance. If you want to confirm the contests with the organizers, write to us and we’ll tell you who to ask.

Check it with your own microphone.

Listen to Frank

Thirty minutes, nothing to install. The demo is run by one of the four people who build Frank.
