“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”
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.
