Sesame updates voice agents, each with its own computer
Sesame released a fresh preview of its voice assistant in its iOS and Android apps, powered by a new voice model. Its agents are described as smarter and each has access to its own computer, letting users speak hands-free, have them plan trips or research hobbies and get an update when work is done, use tools, coordinate other agents, connect to everyday services starting with several Google apps, and attach their own MCPs. The company also laid out a three-part plan covering hand-made Japanese frames, a voice-first assistant for smart glasses it says are coming in 2027, and characters designed to be less sycophantic; developer tooling is due later this year.
Voice assistants are shifting from Q&A toward agents that can act on your behalf, and Sesame is betting that shift lands on screen-free hardware like glasses.
Sesame has released a fresh preview of its voice assistant in its iOS and Android apps, powered by a new voice model, while outlining a three-part plan for all-day AI glasses. The company is designing frames, intelligence, and characters as one product, built to make assistance available throughout the day without relying on a screen.
Frames you love to wear, with an assistant you enjoy talking to. Voice assistants available to everyone today. Glasses coming 2027. This release is a step towards our vision—a voice OS on the frames that can connect to your tools, act on your behalf, and help you throughout… pic.twitter.com/Blds0x60IS— Sesame (@sesame) October 6, 2026
The hardware starts with frames Sesame says people will want to wear every day. Its collection will be made in Japan by craftspeople with decades of experience, with attention to weight, hinges, fit, materials and polish. Each frame is shaped, polished and fitted by hand over several days. More details are due in the coming months.
The assistant is intended to serve as the voice-first operating system for the glasses. In the October release, Sesame’s agents are smarter and each has access to its own computer. Users can speak to them hands-free, ask them to plan a trip, explore a personal project or research a hobby, then receive an update when the work is ready. The assistants can use tools, coordinate other agents and connect to everyday services, beginning with several Google apps. Users can also attach their own MCPs.
