SoundHound AI announced the deployment of its voice and generative AI technology in the Kia Sorento in India. The new Kia AI Assistant uses a “Hey Kia” wake word to provide hands-free control of cabin functions, vehicle information, and conversational search. The system combines SoundHound’s voice AI platform with generative AI to support real-time, multi-turn interactions in noisy in-car environments. SoundHound says this launch extends its automotive footprint in high-growth international markets and builds on its broader OASYS platform adoption.
