Sanas Acquires Tomato.ai

Sanas, a real-time speech artificial intelligence platform provider, has acquiredTomato.ai, a company specializing in zero-shot, real-time voice transformation for live communications systems. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition strengthens Sanas' patented capabilities in real-time speech processing, voice transformation, and low-latency inference.

Tomato.ai brings production-grade integrations across communications platforms, VoIP environments, and carrier-adjacent systems, along with deep experience operating speech technology in live, high-volume settings. These capabilities accelerate Sanas' deployment of real-time speech intelligence across the networks and infrastructure that power global communication. Sanas currently works with communications platforms and carrier partners and is actively scaling across those environments.;

The combined platform enables real-time speech enhancement, accent transformation, and language understanding to operate directly within enterprise environments and communications platforms. Beyond enterprise environments, the combined platform supports latency-sensitive voice use cases across gaming, live streaming, and interactive media.

"Voice sits at the center of how enterprises and platforms operate, yet the technology supporting real-time communication has lagged behind," said Sharath Keshava Narayana, CEO and cCo-founder of Sanas, in a statement. "Bringing Tomato.ai into Sanas accelerates our ability to make speech work reliably and consistently anywhere communication happens at scale."

Following the acquisition,Tomato.ai co-founder Ofer Ronen will spearhead Sanas' global telecom strategy, driving expansion across carrier and communications platform ecosystems.

"A lot of speech AI is built as a feature you add on top," Ronen said in a statement. "At the carrier and platform level, it has to work as part of the system itself. With Sanas, the opportunity is to embed real-time voice intelligence directly into the environments where communication already runs, so it performs reliably under real-world conditions."

"Real-time speech is becoming something builders can actively shape rather than work around, said Shawn Zhang, co-founder and chief technology officer of Sanas, in a statement. "Tomato.ai's technology and experience move us faster toward a future where speech behaves predictably and intelligently inside the systems people depend on."
