SoundHound’s new technology ultimately allows drivers and passengers to use hands-free voice control to unlock a vast range of information and updates.
SoundHound AI, a global voice artificial intelligence solution provider, announced that its voice assistant with integrated ChatGPT will be the first to go into full production with an international automaker.
“This is a world first, made possible by our exceptional voice AI technology that integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT or any other generative AI model,” said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO and Co-Founder of SoundHound AI. “In piloting SoundHound Chat AI with automakers, we’ve been blown away by consumer enthusiasm as demonstrated by the huge increase in engagement with the voice assistant. We believe the potential use cases are endless.”
Following a successful pilot with DS vehicles in the UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy, the automaker will now make its SoundHound Chat AI-powered assistant, Iris, available in thirteen languages across eighteen countries. The most sophisticated assistant available today, Iris, can respond to many questions from hundreds of real-time domains and large language models like ChatGPT.
This new technology ultimately allows drivers and passengers to use hands-free voice control to unlock a vast range of information and updates – for planning a trip, opening the sunroof, asking for the sports scores, making a call, or accessing parking information from their destination.
The SoundHound system also uses a proprietary approach to massively reduce the risk of “AI hallucinations” – misleading and unpredictable responses often associated with some large language models (LLMs).
