SoundHound AI (NasdaqGM:SOUN) agreed to acquire LivePerson in a $100 million deal, expanding its reach in conversational AI.<\/p>\n

The company launched its new OASYS agentic AI platform, aimed at building a broader ecosystem of voice and chat agents.<\/p>\n

SoundHound AI was recognized as the overall Leader in ISG\u2019s 2026 Buyers Guide for Conversational AI Emerging Providers.<\/p>\n

SoundHound AI enters this phase of expansion with its shares at $6.96 and a mixed recent trading record, up 3.1% over the past week but down 16.6% over the past month.
