Experis, a brand of ManpowerGroup, announced the launch of its new enterprise AI services suite, EXCELERATE AI, on March 17 2026. The suite is designed to help large organizations build, implement, and manage AI agents at scale, positioning humans and agents to work side‑by‑side.
The launch names SoundHound AI as the exclusive conversational‑AI technology partner. SoundHound’s agentic and conversational AI platforms will power the suite’s core capabilities, enabling enterprises to modernize contact centers, IT service desks, and other customer‑facing functions with AI‑driven automation.
This move expands Experis’s portfolio beyond traditional technology staffing into a full‑service AI solutions offering, aligning with ManpowerGroup’s broader digital transformation strategy and providing a new revenue stream in the growing enterprise AI market. ManpowerGroup’s Q4 2025 results showed revenue of $4.7 billion, a 7% increase from the prior year, but an EPS of $0.64 that missed analyst expectations of $0.82. The company’s Q1 2026 guidance of $0.45–$0.55 per share suggests that the new AI venture could become a significant growth driver.
The global enterprise AI market is projected to expand from $23.95 billion in 2024 to $155.21 billion by 2030, a CAGR of 37.6%, or to $560.74 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 44.10%. SoundHound AI reported revenues of $168.9 million in 2025, nearly doubling year‑over‑year. In a competitive landscape that includes other AI services providers, Experis differentiates itself by emphasizing human‑AI collaboration and the ability to operationalize AI through its consulting and talent solutions.
"Enterprises are eager to move beyond experimentation and deploy AI solutions that deliver measurable impact. By partnering with Experis, we're combining their deep consulting and implementation expertise with our leading‑edge technology to help organizations deploy enterprise‑grade agentic AI to drive real operational value," said Keyvan Mohajer, Co‑Founder and CEO of SoundHound AI.
"That's 'Humans First, Digital Always' in action. AI transformation is just as much about people, skills, and operating models as it is about platforms, and that's where Experis is uniquely positioned to help. Through our partnership with SoundHound AI and the launch of EXCELERATE AI, we're bringing together powerful agentic AI capabilities with the deep technical expertise, consulting strength, and talent solutions clients need to actually operationalize AI," said Kye Mitchell, President of Experis U.S.
