The company's technology -- which powers conversational interfaces for cars, restaurants and customer-service platforms -- is now being embedded deeper across industries. "We can go from demo to deployment in production faster with higher quality," Mahajer said, adding that SoundHound's two-decade investment in proprietary models gives it a moat most AI newcomers don't have. SoundHound's leadership also highlighted an "eight-figure" robotics contract out of China and its Interactions acquisition, which strengthens its footprint in financial services and healthcare. "This is one we're excited about -- how we can regrow them together," COO Nitesh Sharan noted. From Cars To Commerce Mahajer said the company's next frontier -- voice commerce -- is already in pilot with multiple OEMs and retail brands. "You can drive a car, talk to the car, place an order, go pick it up from the store -- all of that is done," he said. "Some want to be the first to go live." Why It Matters SoundHound's bullish tone comes with substance: rising recurring revenue, expanding automotive royalties, and what Mahajer calls "real performance leadership." The company may not have Big Tech's size -- but if it keeps beating them by 40%, investors won't care who's louder.
