MacPaw Partners with Respeecher to Enhance AI Assistant with Voice Technology
MacPaw, the well-known software developer for macOS and iOS, has recently embarked on an exciting journey by announcing a strategic partnership with Respeecher, a pioneering voice synthesis company from Ukraine. This collaboration, which was unveiled at CES 2026, marks a significant step in revolutionizing human-computer interaction. By merging MacPaw's expertise in application development with Respeecher's innovative voice technology, the two companies aim to elevate the capabilities of Eney, MacPaw's first AI assistant designed to engage with users in a more intuitive way.
Eney, referred to as a 'Computerbeing,' is geared towards providing a richer user experience. Utilizing Respeecher’s cutting-edge text-to-speech technology, Eney is set to respond to users with an astonishingly natural and human-like voice. Respeecher's technology not only captures the style and cadence of real voice actors but also includes the emotional nuances and intonation patterns necessary for effective communication. This means that Eney can manage everything from succinct responses to elaborate explanations, making it a versatile digital companion that greatly enhances everyday interactions.
"Our goal in developing Eney was to create a genuine digital companion that goes beyond simply assisting users," states Sergii Kryvoblotskyi, Director of Technological Research and Development at MacPaw. "Integrating voice technology was an essential milestone in this journey, and we are thrilled to partner with Respeecher, a leader in this domain."
Dmytro Bielievtsov, co-founder and CTO of Respeecher, echoes this sentiment, expressing their pride in collaborating with a company that shares similar values of quality, ethics, and user-focused technology. "From day one, our ambition was to provide Eney with a voice that feels authentic and intuitive, all while ensuring user privacy remains uncompromised. We hope that users find joy in interacting with Eney, making their daily tasks easier and more enjoyable," Bielievtsov elaborates.
The newly enhanced voice capabilities will also play a central role in MacPaw's vision for Software 3.0, aiming to create a more interactive and engaging user experience. Attendees at CES 2026 had the unique opportunity to sample a demo version of Eney, allowing them to interact through various prompts. Participants could explore features such as real-time translation, creating calendar events, setting reminders, and managing VPN settings—all facilitated by Eney's responsive voice.
As MacPaw continues to develop Eney in collaboration with Respeecher and other industry players, the official launch of the AI assistant is anticipated later this year. Those eager to get an early glimpse of Eney can access the beta version through Setapp, MacPaw's subscription service for innovative software solutions. For a deeper dive into Eney's capabilities, prospective users can visit eney.ai to learn more.
MacPaw is an internationally recognized software development company focused on creating beautifully designed solutions for millions of macOS and iOS users across the globe. Initially founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, with an additional office in Boston, the company is known for its flagship products, including CleanMyMac and Setapp. Through Eney, MacPaw aspires to reshape the landscape of human-computer interaction by pioneering the next generation of software intelligence.
