SoundHound AI, Inc. has entered a partnership with Perplexity, a conversational AI-powered answer engine, for SoundHound Chat AI to incorporate its online LLM features. SoundHound Chat AI, powered by real-time domains and generative AI responses, is arguably the most advanced voice assistant on the market today.
This move ensures that SoundHound’s AI product will also become the most potent voice assistant in the world. The business already has relationships with many of the major players in the food and automotive industries for its voice AI assistant capabilities. Applebees, owned by Dine Brand’s, has used SoundHound’s technology in all of its locations.
“By integrating Perplexity search capabilities into SoundHound Chat AI we’re raising the bar for voice assistants and the kinds of queries they can handle effortlessly,” said Mike Zagorsek, Chief Operations Officer at SoundHound AI. “Where this technology is already deployed in vehicles, we’re seeing usage habits shift substantially – increasing by multiples. We’re confident that this enhancement will further delight users as more and more people choose to talk rather than type.”
