Today, Kia launched the Sorento in India - and with it, the global debut of Kia's new "Live Generative Al" voice assistant, powered by SoundHound Al.
This isn't just another feature launch. It's the next chapter in our long-term partnership with Kia — one that started with voice commands on the Seltos, expanded to Hindi and regional languages across the Carnival and EV9, and now graduates to full generative, conversational Al in Kia's flagship three-row SUV.
Why this launch matters:
• It's Kia's first premium 3-row SUV for India, going head-to-head with the Fortuner, Kodiaq, Tayron and Majestor — and Kia chose to debut its most advanced voice Al here, first, globally.
• The assistant moves beyond rigid commands to real back-and-forth conversation — understanding context, follow-ups, and natural phrasing instead of memorized trigger phrases.
• It pulls real-time, continuously updated information on the fly, rather than relying on a static, pre-loaded dataset — a meaningful leap from traditional in-car voice systems.
For us at SoundHound, this is proof of what we've believed for years: voice is the most natural interface for the car, and generative Al is what finally makes that interface feel like talking to a person instead of issuing commands to a machine.
Huge congratulating to the team at kia

This agreement represents an important strategic step for SoundHound AI, combining its powerful agentic Artificial Intelligence technology—recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Conversational AI Platforms—with one of the most established companies in Colombia’s BPO industry.
The strategic alliance with DIPDIG SAS, a company belonging to Outsourcing SAS-BIC, will be responsible for the operation and commercialization of SoundHound AI’s award-winning agentic artificial intelligence platform OASYS.

The company projects strong demand in Colombia and Latin America, with a proposal focused on optimizing processes, improving the experience of customers and employees, generating cost savings, and driving operational efficiency in strategic sectors. The collaboration combines DIPDIG’s local expertise in intelligent automation, customer experience (CX), business processes, and the implementation of corporate solutions with SoundHound AI’s platform and global leadership in conversational artificial intelligence.
Thanks to this integration, Colombian organizations will have access to cutting-edge technologies to develop AI agents capable of understanding, reasoning, and executing actions; automating processes from end to end; optimizing service channels; and improving the experience of both customers and employees.
Ricardo Durán, President and Founder of Outsourcing SAS-BIC, stated:
“This U.S. investment represents a milestone for our organization and reflects the confidence of one of the world’s most innovative companies in artificial intelligence in the potential of our company. Combining our track record in customer experience, BPO, and digital transformation with SoundHound AI’s technology will allow us to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence solutions that generate greater productivity, transform the customer experience, and strengthen Colombia’s position as a regional leader in innovation and business services.”
“Faced with the growing demand for Artificial Intelligence for customer service, at SoundHound we are excited to partner with Outsourcing to expand the impact of our category-leading OASYS platform and make it available to their extraordinary customer base,” said Keyvan Mohajer, Co-founder and CEO of SoundHound AI.
