About Oruk
Summary
Oruk trains speech foundation models that decode not just words but tone, emphasis, intent, and emotion directly from audio. Its API gives developers and businesses a richer read on spoken conversation, replacing transcript-only tools that miss the difference between a hesitant answer and a confident one. Contact centers, sales teams, voice agents, and hardware builders use it to act on how something was said, not only what was said.
Business model
A free tier plus paid API access
Go-to-market
Developers and technical teams start self-serve through a free tier and demo, while enterprise buyers in contact centers and sales are addressed through named use-case pages and an early-access application for the latest model, Resonance 2.
