SoundHound's OpenTable Integration Marks a New Phase in Voice-Driven Utility

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) is one of the best agentic AI stocks to buy now.

On December 10, 2025, the company announced a new partnership with OpenTable to launch a fully conversational in‑vehicle voice‑AI reservations agent, with drivers now being able to find and book restaurants hands‑free through their car’s infotainment system.

The integration hooks into OpenTable’s network of over 60,000 restaurants worldwide and lets users check real‑time availability, make a reservation, and even send the confirmation to their email, all via voice while driving. Instead of fumbling with a phone at a stoplight, a quick voice command gets the job done. This expands the company’s in‑car voice commerce playbook, which already supports take‑out ordering and is part of a broader strategy to embed transactional AI across everyday activities like parking, ticketing, and scheduling.

This move helps position the company as a bridge between automotive, commerce, and convenience, giving drivers real utility while potentially unlocking recurring revenue streams tied to restaurant bookings and beyond. The feature is slated to be demonstrated publicly at CES 2026.

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) is a global leader in voice and conversational AI. Its product suite includes voice‑first solutions for retail, automotive, restaurants, finance, and more, from voice ordering and dynamic drive‑thrus to generative‑AI assistants for automotive and enterprise.
