SoundHound’s best-in-class voice AI system can learn any
restaurant’s menu and be deployed quickly to perform critical tasks
like processing orders, answering customer questions, and even
upselling add-ons and special offers. All voice orders are
transmitted directly to the Olo platform which seamlessly
integrates with a restaurant’s operations.
SoundHound’s patented voice AI is optimized to understand
natural human speech. This means a customer won’t have to modify
their language or interact awkwardly with the software – they can
just speak as they would to another person.
Working together, SoundHound and Olo will enable thousands of
restaurant locations to harness voice AI to free up staff to
complete more complex tasks while still providing reliable,
consistent customer service.
With consumers increasingly open to the idea of AI and
automation, SoundHound’s voice AI promises to further enhance the
guest experience while allowing restaurants to capture more orders
and drive revenue.
“It’s becoming clear that soon every business will have a
customer service voice assistant, and we’re delighted to join Olo
Connect to provide its entire restaurant network with access to
SoundHound’s powerful voice AI,” said James Hom, Co-Founder and
Chief Product Officer at SoundHound. “We’ll be using our years of
AI know-how to help restaurants drive more orders and give guests
what they want – a fast, hassle-free experience.”
“At Olo, we are constantly looking to connect our restaurant
brands to innovative technology through our partner network that
keeps them ahead of the curve,” said Nolan DeCoster, SVP of
Partnerships and Business Development at Olo. “We are thrilled to
partner with SoundHound to bring their voice AI to multiple
ordering applications within restaurants, an exciting step forward
in our pursuit to help build the restaurant of the future for our
customers.”
