Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors to Consider

SoundHound is expected to have experienced strong demand and adoption of its conversational AI platform, powered by the recent popularization of Generative AI and large language models.

Its performance in the third quarter is likely to have benefited from the launch of SoundHound Chat AI, which combines the power of conversational AI and machine learning generative AI to deliver a virtual assistant experience.

SoundHound experiences a solid demand for its independent AI-powered products, reflected by its strong customer engagement and sound execution.

In addition to its strong position in the automotive sector, SOUN’s dedication to operational efficiency is anticipated to drive growth in the next quarter.

SOUN has been leveraging Generative AI capabilities to improve its voice-based ecosystem. Its solutions, like Dynamic Interaction and Smart Answering, combine with Generative AI to provide real-time audiovisual feedback and respond to more open-ended questions with personalized answers. This is expected to have increased its adoption among product creators, driving the top line.

The company might have gained from a growing partner base in the third quarter. It expanded its partnership with enterprises like Oracle, Qualcomm and LG and a series of companies in the automotive space to deliver SoundHound’s voice AI on devices and services on a global scale.

SoundHound partnered with a series of companies from the restaurant business to expand its AI customer service solutions like Smart Ordering and Smart Answering. These partnerships are likely to improve adoption, user experience and revenue per device in the to-be-reported quarter.
