In the world of Artificial Intelligence, there's a common misconception that success is based on neural networks.
At Voicemod, we've proven this idea wrong. We have built the world leader in a very hard AI problem with a perfect mix of technical skills, big dreams, strong belief, deep care for customers, and a brave, very human approach.
Jaime Bosch, your recent post has touched me deeply, igniting an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards you, Juan Bosch and Fernando Bosch. This fast-paced journey of scaling both business and AI technology has transformed me into a more capable entrepreneur, AI researcher, and most importantly, a better person.
In the genesis of the Foro IA with Fernando Polo, I discovered that Google Brain, the bedrock of AI at Google, was established in 2011—the very year I embarked on my first AI startup with Valeriya Zaytseva.
Back then, I couldn't comprehend the visionary progress made by that team (Adria Sansaloni, Jerónimo Tocado, Roman Ortin Albero) or understand how much I lacked in knowledge at that time.
Since then, I've been fortunate to find myself in the company of individuals with the foresight to recognize the pivotal role of AI in those early days.
In 2012, thanks to the forward-thinking vision of Alberto Gutierrez, Juan Luis Hortelano, and Ruben Colomer Flos, we entered Plug and Play Tech Center(Silicon Valley), where we met influential figures like Saeed Amidi and Alireza Masrour. This experience changed everything, showing me how substantial funding combined with the cutting-edge power of AI can completely transform an entire industry.
Come 2013, Paloma Castellano and Gary Stewart from Wayra opened our eyes to the corporate perspective, as articulated by seasoned professionals like Andrés Saborido, José Homobono and Gonzalo Martín-Villa. We learned firsthand about the formidable challenges of reshaping corporate processes, structures, and tools, and how AI had long been an unfulfilled promise.
By 2018, Voicemod underscored a vital truth: AI's triumph isn't just rooted in cutting-edge technology, but also in the strength of a cohesive team (kudos to Alejandro Fuster Baggetto and Andrey Kramer) and a crystal-clear business alignment.
Over a decade of AI exploration later, the boundaries of what's achievable with AI have expanded faster than ever before and I enjoy more than ever imagining the future ahead, thanks to trailblazers like Hector Badal, Oscar del Rio, Oscar Martínez, Juan Rivero, Miguel Angel Anton or Begoña Sanchez Esquibel.
Let's enjoy this extraordinary opportunity to experience the current AI explosion firsthand. Together, we're shaping a future that's beyond our wildest dreams. 🚀✨

Back in 2018 we decided to pivot to AI at Voicemod.
One of our team members, who also happened to be a shareholder, was already deeply immersed in the world of AI and one day when we were having lunch, he pitched me and my brothers.
He urged both me and my co-founders to jump into the field head first, insisting that it had the potential to disrupt every single industry including ours.
He was so enthusiastic he even offered to invest in our research and get more involved himself.
Looking back I can say this conversation marked the start of our journey into AI (thanks Federico Lopez Esquibel) and it was definitely a turning point for Voicemod as a business.
Soon after we started developing our own tech and a year after that first conversation we partnered with a company called Voctro Labs in a joint venture, whom we eventually acquired.
That first phase of building with Voctro in 2020 was when we saw the potential of AI first hand. That was also when we decided to double down and commit more and more resources to building this part of the business out.
But our first AI voice wasn't released to users until a year ago in 2022.
It took us almost four years of research and development to find the right algorithm that allowed real-time voice modification. And while the journey was a long one, it’s definitely one I’m glad we started early.
The buzz around AI is at its peak right now with every company clambering onto the hype train but we’ve been on it for a while…and as we help steer it in our own industry, we’re excited to see where it ends up.

Recently, I stumbled upon a picture of the Top 50 AI products generated by research sponsored by Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley, California.

Initially, my plan was to make notes of each app and then schedule some time to research them individually (I know what you're thinking 🤣 ).
However, being an advocate of using #aitoolsforbusiness , I decided to challenge my favorite AI tool, #copilot, to not only scan the image but also provide a quick summary of the companies found.
Needless to say that I was impressed by the results!
