Investing.com -- Sesame AI Inc., a startup known for creating hyper-realistic artificial intelligence voice assistants called Maya and Miles, is in discussions to secure more than $200 million in funding.

This potential deal could value the young company at over $1 billion, according to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter. The sources, who requested anonymity due to the private nature of the information, added that the details of the deal are not yet finalized and could still change.

Sequoia Capital and Spark Capital are reportedly in talks to co-lead this funding round. Brendan Iribe, co-founder of the Oculus headset system which is now owned by Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META)., and Ankit Kumar, co-founder of augmented reality startup Ubiquity6 Inc. that was acquired by chat app Discord Inc. in 2021, are the founders of Sesame AI.
