Following the integration of the Amelia platform into SoundHound's ecosystem in 2025, we enhanced our AI agent platform by enabling full-stack agentic AI for enterprises, moving beyond simple voice response to systems that can reason through IT support or customer service requests and execute backend actions autonomously.
With the launch of the Amelia 7 platform in 2025, SoundHound s AI agent orchestration platform brings new capabilities into the vehicle, enabling multiple agents to carry out tasks and transactions on behalf of the driver from the company s own voice commerce agents that allow food ordering and reservations with top restaurant brands, to external agents that will allow users to check email or adjust their schedules.
Additionally, through SoundHound's AI-driven restaurant voice ordering solution, Smart Ordering, automated voice technology can be deployed by any restaurant to take food and drink orders over the phone, via menu kiosks or at the drive-thru.
Houndify s ability to process and understand speech the instant a user stops speaking gives voice assistants the ability to respond faster.
Where existing voice technology requires wake words and relies on turn-taking with awkward pauses to process requests, Dynamic Interaction uses the twin technologies of fragment parsing which breaks speech down to partial-utterances and processes them in real-time and full-duplex audio-visual integration to create an instantaneous, next-generation experience in human-computer interaction.

Our goal was to build a differentiated Voice AI technology that we fully own and which is significantly better than other solutions in the market.

And in fact, most other voice assistants will offer Chinese restaurants when asked to show restaurants excluding Chinese.
Natural Language Understanding ( NLU ) Our proprietary Speech-to-Meaning technology tracks speech in real-time and understands the context, even before the user has finished speaking.
Dynamic Interaction Dynamic Interaction is a category-level breakthrough in conversational AI that we believe raises the bar for human-computer interaction by not only recognizing and understanding speech, but also responding and acting in real-time.
We view the current environment as an opportunity to provide disruptive technologies with capabilities we believe are superior to existing alternatives, allowing customers to maintain their brand, control the user experience, get access to the data, and define their own privacy policies, while being able to customize, differentiate, innovate, and monetize.
In our case, we aim to offer our customers the best of both, enabling them to offer disruptive technologies to their users while maintaining control of their brand and user experience.
