Let your voice shape the future of DriveMate.

DriveMate isn’t just about hardware or connectivity — it’s about personality. One of the most critical parts of any in-car voice assistant is how it sounds. The tone, pace, style, and attitude of the voice define how drivers interact with the system, how comfortable they feel using it daily, and how much trust they place in it over time.

That’s why we’re giving our Kickstarter backers the unique opportunity to help choose how DriveMate speaks. Through exclusive voting access, you’ll be able to preview and vote on new voice personalities that will be released in future updates. This feature goes far beyond personalization — it’s about shaping the experience for every future user.

What Are Voice Personalities?

Voice personalities are complete character styles behind the assistant’s voice — not just gender or accent. They define how DriveMate communicates, how it responds emotionally, and how it sounds across different use cases.

Examples include:

• Friendly and upbeat

• Calm and focused

• Energetic and informal

• Professional and clear

• Youthful or authoritative

• Lightly humorous or conversational

• Multilingual and culturally adapted styles

These voices are carefully crafted to suit real-world driving environments, allowing users to choose what fits their mood, context, or audience best — whether commuting alone, driving with kids, or managing a rideshare route.

How Backer Voting Works

Once the Kickstarter campaign concludes, all backers will receive private access to our DriveMate Voice Voting Portal. This is where the process begins.

As a backer, you’ll be able to:

• Listen to early-stage voice samples

• Vote on which personality types get developed and released next

• Submit feedback or suggestions for future styles

• Participate in polls to guide how voices evolve (tone, phrasing, pacing)

• Test beta voices before public release

Your votes won’t just influence what we release next — they’ll guide the entire roadmap for how DriveMate sounds in 2025 and beyond.

Why We’re Letting Backers Decide

Unlike most tech products that lock in voice presets during development, DriveMate is designed to be adaptive, inclusive, and driver-first. We believe that the most natural, comfortable voice assistant should reflect the people using it — not just what a development team assumes is best.

Giving early supporters a voice in the process aligns with our mission:
To build the most personal and trusted in-car AI assistant ever made.

And that means co-creating with our community, not just delivering features top-down.

Long-Term Benefits for Backers

Backers who participate in voice voting will enjoy:

• Early access to new voice packs

• Exclusive input opportunities during character testing

• Recognition as early product influencers

• Direct contact with the DriveMate development team

• Inclusion in beta testing of future tone updates

We’re building a library of downloadable voice personalities over time — and Kickstarter backers will shape the foundation of that voice library from the very beginning.

Set the Tone for Every Drive

Voice isn’t just functional — it’s emotional. It’s how we connect with technology and how that technology makes us feel. With DriveMate, we’re opening that design process to our supporters. You help us decide what sounds good, what feels right, and what deserves to become part of the everyday DriveMate experience.

This is your chance to influence the voices that will speak to thousands of drivers around the world.

Be part of the decision. Set the tone. Help define the voice of DriveMate.
