Explore our AI agents ecosystem: a portfolio of specialized agents that work together, both inside and beyond the vehicle. Instead of one assistant trying to do everything, Cerence AI connects expert agents that share context, coordinate actions, and deliver seamless experiences across every stage of the journey. To deliver a unified experience, the agents behind it need to be built on a common foundation: - Specialized agents: Each one is an expert in its domain. - Shared context: Agents collaborate to deliver one coherent answer, not disconnected responses. - Agent2Agent protocols: Standardized communication connects agents from different sources. - Guardrails and privacy: Built-in security keeps drivers in control of their data and experience. - Flexible architecture: Cloud, edge or hybrid, so agents run where they work best. One branded, intelligent assistant, backed by a coordinated ecosystem of agents delivering trusted outcomes.

🔔 "Can you remind me next week?" In this real customer conversation, a driver calls after hours to cancel an existing service appointment and asks for a reminder to reschedule the following week.

📅 Plans change, even after the dealership closes. Listen to a customer conversation where our Dealer Assist Agent helps reschedule an existing service appointment, finds a new available time slot, and updates the booking directly in the dealership's CRM system. The result is a seamless customer experience and greater operational efficiency for dealership teams.

🚨 When an emergency vehicle is approaching, every second matters. Cerence Emergency Vehicle Detection (EVD), already deployed in production vehicles today, gives ADAS and autonomous driving systems an additional sense: the ability to detect and localize more than 1,500 emergency sirens across nearly 50 countries, before the vehicle comes into view. Using existing vehicle microphones and AI trained to distinguish sirens from traffic, road noise, music, and other sounds, EVD can identify approaching emergency vehicles from more than 300 meters away with interior microphones and beyond 800 meters when paired with exterior microphones. All of this adds up to more time to react, increased situational awareness, and safer roads for drivers, first responders, and everyone around them.
