Aiqudo, a US-based voice technology company, reportedly announced a new collaboration with BYTON, a renowned Chinese electric vehicle brand. Under this agreement, Aiqudo’s Voice AI platform would be used in BYTON’s electric cars.

The Voice to Action^(R) platform would allow drivers to interact with their favorite apps on the smart phone hands-free when they drive, simply combining with the unique Digital Experience of BYTON.

BYTON Vice President of Digital Engineering, Jeff Chung stated that a perfect voice experience is integral to the company’s groundbreaking user experience. Aiqudo’s voice platform would make accessing apps safe and convenient.

Chung further added that the white label solution of Aiqudo enables the company to discover new possibilities with the company’s expanding collaborations in the BYTON’s digital ecosystem.

The voice platform includes a semiotics-based intent engine that can understand natural language commands in 7 different languages presently, along with an action execution capability through thousands of apps that customers rely on over a day-to-day basis.
