Rime Launches Prism Speech Model With Reviewable Replies for Voice Agents

Rime has launched Prism, a speech-to-speech model for enterprise voice agents that creates a text checkpoint before speaking. Companies can inspect the planned reply, apply rules to it and use tool calls while the conversation continues. Rime says the model listens, writes its reply and continues hearing the caller while speaking, so its text layer can support guardrails, pronunciation controls and agent workflows.
