01 · the premise

Understanding is the new interface.

Machines are learning to understand people: what we say, how we say it, where we look and what we mean. xevall independently measures whether the system interpreted that person correctly.

02 · natural inputs

Interfaces are losing their keyboards.

What replaces typing is you: speech, tone, gaze, gesture. Products built around natural input enter the examiner's field. Their understanding is what gets tested.

03 · system misfires

Nobody measures the understanding.

When an AI system misunderstands a person, the product feels broken and the reason stays hidden. xevall grades the system against the meaning a human reviewer established.

04 · local demonstration

The demonstration is optional. Camera and microphone permissions stay separate, each can be declined and each can be revoked at any time.

No camera frame or audio sample is transmitted or stored. Media-derived values exist only as ephemeral on-device state, are never transmitted or sent to analytics, and are cleared on revoke or unmount.

Mapping: the mesh traces your face, raised hands are traced and named, attention and voice set the readings. Media stays on this device.

05 · the xevall score

Every human-AI interaction will carry a score.

Cars carry crash ratings. Food carries safety grades. As machines learn to understand people, their understanding gets graded independently against human judgement, with calibrated confidence. That number is the xevall score.

the Human Input Benchmark

The Human Input Benchmark goes public this autumn.

Building a product around voice, timing, gaze or gesture? Early access is open for teams testing natural interfaces.
