Tomer Kaftan is an inventor based in San Francisco, California. His patent work includes technology designed to make interactions with generative response engines more natural and responsive.
Latest Patents
Kaftan is associated with 1 patent: “Real Time Voice Mode Generative Response Engine with Turn Detection.” The patent describes systems and methods for processing audio during real-time interactions. The technology receives audio frames from a client device, identifies a portion containing a user’s speech, and sends that portion to a generative response engine. After detecting that the speech instance has concluded, the system signals the engine to perform an inference based on the received audio.
Career Highlights
Kaftan is associated with OpenAI OpCo, LLC. His patent focuses on turn detection and real-time audio processing, which can help generative systems respond more naturally during spoken exchanges.
