Together AI has launched Voice Finder, a tool that helps developers quickly find suitable voices for their applications from a catalog of over 600 voices. Users can search by describing the voice they need or by uploading a voice sample, with results filtered by attributes such as pitch and emotion. This tool aims to reduce the manual effort involved in selecting voices for different use cases, enhancing the efficiency of developing voice agents. Voice Finder is part of Together AI's broader platform for building real-time voice agents.

© TechCrunch AIMeta is testing Style Sketch, an app that builds a virtual closet from Instagram photos and suggests outfits using generative AI. It’s not a breakthrough in technology—digitizing wardrobes and visualizing clothes is already done by startups like Alta—but the integration with Instagram’s massive user graph gives Meta a data advantage no competitor can easily replicate. The app also factors in weather and itinerary for trip planning, turning static image generation into contextual lifestyle assistance. This launch signals Meta’s strategy to leverage AI efficiency to ship niche consumer apps rapidly, even if they don't reinvent the wheel.

Powered by Gemini 3.8 Flash, it doubles generation length to two minutes while introducing dynamic scene modification—a significant step toward usable pre-visualization for games and film. However, the model still struggles with object permanence over longer durations, limiting its current reliability. This research preview signals a shift from passive video generation to active, editable environments, though widespread access remains gated behind Google AI Ultra subscriptions.

By combining Claude Haiku for logic and Eleven Labs for voice, the station achieved an 84.9% listener increase among young Hispanics. This isn't just a tech demo; it's a commercial win that challenges the 'human-only' stance of competitors like iHeartRadio.
