Modulate is a frontier AI voice company based in Somerville, Massachusetts, developing conversational intelligence and real-time voice moderation technology. The company has raised $30 million in Series A funding and has been named one of Time's 100 Most Influential Companies.
The company's core technology centres on voice-native understanding - analysing not just what is said but how it is said, including prosody, nuance, emotion, and intent. Modulate has developed its Ensemble Listening Model (ELM) and Velma, a voice-native model designed to understand conversations with industry-leading accuracy. The company protects over 40 million users from fraud, harassment, and abuse.
Modulate offers three main product lines: ToxMod, a real-time voice moderation platform used by major gaming studios including Activision to detect harassment and hate speech; VoiceVault, a proactive fraud prevention product; and a suite of APIs providing transcription, deepfake detection, and voice analytics services. All services run within an AWS Virtual Private Cloud and maintain compliance with GDPR and CCPA standards.
The company serves gaming, social platforms, contact centres, and financial services verticals, positioning itself at the intersection of AI, security, and real-time communication infrastructure.
