Cerence
Application

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.
Acoustically detects a wide range of global sirens to alert the driver.
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.
AI agent
Handles dealership customer inquiries as part of Cerence's automotive AI agents portfolio.
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.
Genesys
