SoundHound AI, a global leader in voice artificial intelligence, has announced the launch of the Lucid Assistant, a groundbreaking hands-free voice assistant developed in partnership with Lucid, a leading maker of advanced electric vehicles.

The Lucid Assistant, integrated with SoundHound’s Chat AI platform, offers a new way for drivers and passengers to control vehicle functions using natural, conversational speech.

Now available to Lucid Air owners, the Lucid Assistant allows users to ask questions and control key features like navigation, climate, and vehicle settings simply by saying “Hey Lucid.” The assistant also provides real-time answers on weather, sports, and stocks, along with full access to the car manual for any vehicle-related inquiries.

Michael Zagorsek, COO of SoundHound, stated, “Lucid is one of the most exciting automakers in the world, and we believe our technology will transform how drivers interact with their vehicles in the future.”

SoundHound’s technology also minimizes the risk of “AI hallucinations,” ensuring accurate and reliable responses. The Lucid Assistant is available in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, German, and Dutch, with more languages expected in the future.
