Booth #1844 to feature live demos of the company’s groundbreaking multimodal, multilingual Agentic+ platform running entirely on-device – including context aware Vision AI
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoundHound AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOUN), a global leader in voice and conversational AI, today announced its participation in NVIDIA GTC 2026. At Booth #1844, SoundHound will showcase the world’s first multimodal, multilingual, fully Agentic+ AI platform running entirely on the edge, opening up incredible new possibilities for OEMs.
While complex agentic AI requests have typically relied on cloud connectivity, SoundHound’s platform is capable of localizing the agentic stack within the vehicle’s architecture. This breakthrough allows the vehicle to move beyond simple voice commands to become a proactive partner that can see, hear, and reason locally – ensuring 100% uptime, fast responses, and enhanced user privacy.
What Attendees Can Expect at Booth #1844:
- World’s First Multimodal Agentic+ Platform On the Edge: Delegates will experience how fast and easy it is for automakers and developers to build and deploy AI agents on the edge. The Agentic+ platform is compatible with multiple protocols (including MCP and A2A), allowing for a mix of self-built, pre-built, and external agents to work together locally and within a single interface. Attendees are invited to get hands-on with a fully conversational technology designed to control vehicle functions, provide full navigational capabilities, and answer vehicle-related questions without having to access a remote server.
- Voice AI on the Edge, with NVIDIA: Powered by SoundHound’s agentic platform and the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin platform, this edge solution delivers in-vehicle generative AI responses. SoundHound’s platform ensures that even in areas with zero connectivity, the driver has access to a sophisticated, human-like digital assistant capable of complex reasoning and real-time problem solving.
- Multimodal Vision AI for Automotive on the Edge: In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, SoundHound will showcase Vision AI capabilities integrated directly into the conversational flow. This integration allows the vehicle to "see" and understand the environment, providing context-aware assistance – such as identifying landmarks or responding to driver gestures – all while maintaining the security of an offline environment.
"NVIDIA GTC is the ultimate venue to showcase the next significant leap in agentic technology," said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO and Co-Founder of SoundHound AI. "For the very first time, our multimodal, multilingual agentic AI platform allows OEMs to turn on intelligent agents that can see, hear, and act – while maintaining user privacy along with the speed of edge computing."
