Diving Deep into Rime and TTS with CEO Lily Clifford

🚀 New Skywatch Episode Just Dropped!

Today I sat down with Lily Clifford, CEO & Co-Founder of Rime, one of the teams pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in text-to-speech and conversational AI.

Rime is building linguistically-grounded TTS models. Their work is already reshaping industries like fast food, support, and agentic voice automation.

In this episode, Lily and I dive into:

🔹 Rime’s path from research to real-world deployment

🔹 How they’re powering next-gen conversational agents in high-volume industries

🔹 The hardest challenges in TTS (latency, emotion, prosody, multilingual alignment)

If you're building voice agents, LLM-powered workflows, or experimenting with synthetic conversations — this one is worth the listen.
