Cerence
Application
Delivers vehicle-specific insights through AI-refined search, answering questions about the vehicle.
Turnkey in-car voice assistant that carmakers deploy as-is, running core functions onboard the vehicle while reaching the cloud for live information such as news, weather and flight updates.
Brings friendly, free-flowing small talk to the car -- contextual in-car conversation distinct from vehicle-specific Q&A.

Turns drive time into productive time: a voice-based work assistant for drivers.
Always-available personal OEM representative that helps drivers understand and maintain their vehicle.
Removes noise, unwanted sounds and speech interference from in-vehicle audio.
Developer tool
Self-service cloud portal where developers upload their own audio to benchmark Cerence's speech recognition engines on word error rate, latency and confidence, and audition and tune the text-to-speech voice library in the browser.
Platform
Hybrid generative-AI platform for the car cabin built on Cerence's own CaLLM model family, splitting work between the vehicle's embedded hardware and the cloud so the assistant still answers with no connection.
