Meta Platforms has snapped up WaveForms AI, a startup building AI that understands and mimics emotion in audio, sources say.
The acquisition lands as Meta shakes up its AI strategy after earlier missteps.
WaveForms is small but focused on emotional intelligence in sound—a tech that could power more natural interaction, voice bots, or immersive audio.
No official word yet from Meta or WaveForms on the deal terms or next steps.
The move signals Meta doubling down on AI beyond just text and images, pushing into emotional audio tech.
