SoundHound

What it does

Houndify is the first independent AI platform that enables developers and business owners to deploy it anywhere and retain control of their brand and users while differentiating and innovating. Houndify provides all the technology ingredients necessary for voice and AI integration, including the world’s fastest speech recognition, the most sophisticated natural language understanding, easy to use developer tools, knowledge graphs, and a large and rapidly growing number of domains. SoundHound is working with HARMAN’s hospitality cloud AI in order to bring the power of voice to future JBL-branded solutions for the hospitality industry. This solution will provide sophisticated, voice-enabled “smart room” experiences for hotel guests. They will be able to use their natural, conversational voices to seamlessly navigate the hotel’s many offerings and features, as well as control room settings. Guests will also be able to stream music of their choice through a JBL speaker via Bluetooth. By providing guests with immediate access to hotel information and services, along with the ability to automate common requests, the JBL solution will enable hotels to reduce their customer service load.
