Fish Audio raises $52M seed for AI voice models

Fish Audio, a Palo Alto startup building AI voice models, raised $52 million in a seed round led by Coreline Ventures and Capital Today. Since launching last year, the company says it has over 8 million users, $21 million in annual recurring revenue, and a library of more than 15,000 natural language controls. Fish Audio open-sourced several speech-generation models while offering its S2.1 Pro model via paid API and provides creator and enterprise plans. The company faced allegations that some voices were uploaded without consent and has automated its takedown process to remove contested voices within three minutes. Fish Audio plans to release an audio-understanding model and is building a speech-to-speech model.

Opensurvey Updates Dataspace with AI Agents

Opensurvey announced a major upgrade to Dataspace, its consumer intelligence platform, integrating AI agents across the end-to-end research workflow. The updated platform lets users conduct research planning, survey design, data collection, analysis and automated reporting through an AI-powered chat interface and offers interactions with synthetic consumers generated from real data. Opensurvey says Dataspace now runs numerical calculations through a deterministic statistical engine before AI generates insights to avoid numerical errors. The company, founded in South Korea in 2011, has served over 3,000 corporate clients and completed more than 25,000 research projects. Opensurvey claims a brand-tracking study that typically takes about eight weeks via traditional agencies can be completed in as little as one day using Dataspace.

WellSaid Introduces New AI Voiceover Pricing Model

WellSaid announced a new standard pricing model for its AI voiceover platform that charges only for downloaded, finished audio while leaving every intermediate generation (rendered clip) unmetered. The change is designed to let teams iterate freely during the creative process without increasing costs for experimentation. WellSaid says each voice is sourced under a consented agreement and royalty arrangement with the actor, clarifying commercial usage rights.
