Microsoft AI collaborated with poet William Sieghart and creative studio Gravity Road to launch Ode Poetry, a digital poetry experience that uses MAI's audio models. The app uses MAI-Transcribe for real-time speech understanding and MAI-Voice to reproduce Sieghart's vocal style from a short audio sample. The system recommends poems based on Sieghart's literary analysis and includes safety measures to prevent misaligned model behaviors.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://microsoft.ai/news/ode-poetry-mai/:

> Ode Poetry uses our MAI-Transcribe model to understand spoken language in real time. A leader in its class, it can handle the nuances and complexities of verbal communication, including the many languages, accents, dialects and styles people use today.
