The Agentic+ platform is compatible with multiple protocols (including MCP and A2A), allowing for a mix of self-built, pre-built, and external agents to work together locally and within a single interface. Attendees are invited to get hands-on with a fully conversational technology designed to control vehicle functions, provide full navigational capabilities, and answer vehicle-related questions without having to access a remote server.Voice AI on the Edge, with NVIDIA: Powered by SoundHound’s agentic platform and the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin platform, this edge solution delivers in-vehicle generative AI responses. SoundHound’s platform ensures that even in areas with zero connectivity, the driver has access to a sophisticated, human-like digital assistant capable of complex reasoning and real-time problem solving.Multimodal Vision AI for Automotive on the Edge: In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, SoundHound will showcase Vision AI capabilities integrated directly into the conversational flow.
