How SoundHound AI Compares to Its Biggest Competitors

The Bridgepointe deal connects SoundHound’s Amelia 7 and Autonomics platforms directly to a broad pool of enterprise buyers, with advisors already helping those businesses reduce IT costs and deploy new tools. The key question for you as an investor is whether this access and integration supports SoundHound’s push to sell more complex, transaction-processing agents and IT automation outside of its existing positions in areas such as automotive and restaurants.

The SoundHound AI story, now with a broader corporate angle

Commentary around SoundHound has often focused on rapid revenue growth and use cases for voice AI in cars and restaurants, and this deal adds a clearer line toward industries like hospitality and retail, where automation of customer and employee interactions can be scaled to large networks. For anyone following the story of its AI agent platform, Bridgepointe’s role in guiding deployments can be seen as a test of SoundHound technology’s ability to support real-world workloads across many different enterprises.

Risks and rewards to keep in mind

• By leveraging Bridgepointe’s more than 12,000 customers, SoundHound has a broad channel to introduce Amelia 7 and Autonomics to businesses already accustomed to purchasing advanced IT solutions.
• The company is currently not profitable and is not expected to become profitable over the next three years. Therefore, scaling through partners still needs to be balanced with significant R&D and be geared towards market spending.
• There has been significant insider selling over the past three months, which some investors may view as a red flag, even as new business deals are announced.
• Revenue is expected to grow 29.2% annually, so successful deployments through Bridgepointe could help support that growth if adoption comes to fruition.
