SoundHound AI and Ultraviolette Announce Major Expansion of Agentic Voice AI Across Global Electric Vehicle Lineup

SoundHound AI & Ultraviolette Automotive announced a commercial expansion where SoundHound will power Ultraviolette's voice AI co-pilot.
The partnership was highlighted during Ultraviolette's exhibition at EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy.
The "VIOLETTE A.I." system enables hands-free motorcycle interaction via audio-enabled helmet headsets without requiring riders to look at screens or handlebars.
Key capabilities include dynamic ride & safety adjustments like traction control & ABS toggling, intelligent pre-ride checks, & interactive owner's manual queries.
Ultraviolette plans to integrate SoundHound's OASYS agentic AI platform into its future roadmap for advanced vehicle management.
Riders can activate the system by saying "Violette" to access features such as navigation, media playback, & call management optimized for high-wind environments.
SoundHound CEO Keyvan Mohajer stated the expansion reinforces their position as a partner for deploying voice AI at true production scale.
Ultraviolette CTO Niraj Rajmohan emphasized that voice technology allows riders to stay focused on the road while managing vehicle functions.
Ultraviolette is demonstrating these features at Fiera Milano Rho from November 3 to 8, 2026, at Pad 18, Stand E74.
Ultraviolette has expanded its global footprint to 20 countries including Germany, France, & the UK, & holds the distinction of being the first Indian electric motorcycle manufacturer to secure European certification.
