✓Voice naturalness is genuinely a step up — most reviewers cannot reliably tell Maya from a person
✓Open-source base model under Apache 2.0 makes commercial use uncomplicated
✓Persistent memory in the iOS app actually changes how you use a voice agent
✓Eyewear roadmap makes Sesame a credible long-term platform bet, not just an app

✗No turnkey business voice-agent platform — no telephony, CRM hooks or call analytics
✗Open model is the base CSM; production fine-tuning and serving is on the user
✗Eyewear hardware is a roadmap commitment for 2027, not a shipping product today

✓True self-hosting clears compliance bars that exclude closed-cloud voice vendors
✓MCP-native design composes with any existing agent runtime without prompt rewrites
✓Every layer (STT, LLM, TTS, telephony) is swappable — no vendor lock-in
✓Free open-source tier means you can prototype without procurement

✗You take on the operational burden of running Docker, secrets, telephony, monitoring
✗Visual editor less polished than closed competitors like Vapi or Retell
✗Smaller community than the managed cloud vendors — fewer answers when stuck
✗Per-minute STT/TTS/LLM/telephony costs still apply and dominate at scale
