## Summary

Rime has launched Prism, a speech-to-speech model for AI voice agents. It writes each reply as text before speaking it, so companies can edit the transcript and block content the agent should not say. Rime says no other speech-to-speech model works this way, making Prism a safer fit for banks and other regulated businesses.

## Why it matters

The post explains that Prism writes replies as editable text before speech, a design choice that matters for regulated businesses wanting control over agent output.

## Post

Rime has launched Prism, its new speech-to-speech model for AI voice agents that writes each reply as text before saying it out loud.

Companies can edit the transcript and block anything the agent shouldn't say, while Prism keeps the call going and looks up an account or freezes a card mid-conversation.

Rime says no other speech-to-speech model works this way, which makes Prism a safer fit for banks and other regulated businesses.
