SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN) and Experis, a global leader in technology consulting and part of the ManpowerGroup family, announced a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the adoption of enterprise‑grade agentic AI across large U.S. organizations. The alliance will combine Experis’s consulting and workforce expertise with SoundHound’s agentic AI platform and Autonomics solutions to modernize service delivery in patient access, contact centers, and IT service desks, with an initial focus on the healthcare sector.
The partnership leverages SoundHound’s conversational AI technology to deliver AI‑driven automation that improves both customer and employee experiences. Experis will provide implementation capabilities and deep domain knowledge, while SoundHound supplies the core AI platform that powers autonomous agents and workflow orchestration. Together, the two companies will help clients accelerate time‑to‑value for AI initiatives and expand SoundHound’s presence in the enterprise market.
SoundHound’s Q4 2025 results provide context for the partnership’s timing. Revenue rose to $55.1 million, a 59% year‑over‑year increase that beat the $53.98 million consensus estimate, driven by strong demand for its AI platform and higher mix of high‑margin enterprise contracts. GAAP net income reached $40.1 million, largely due to an $84.6 million non‑cash gain from revaluing contingent acquisition liabilities. Full‑year 2025 revenue totaled $168.9 million, a 99% increase from 2024, and the company guided 2026 revenue to $225–$260 million, reflecting confidence in continued growth and a robust cash position of $248.5 million with no debt.
Experis, part of ManpowerGroup, reported Q4 2025 revenue of $4.7 billion, exceeding expectations, and is launching its new AI services suite, EXCELERATE AI. SoundHound will be the exclusive conversational AI partner for this suite, positioning the alliance to offer a comprehensive AI solution that spans consulting, workforce, and technology. The partnership aligns with Experis’s strategy to deepen its AI capabilities and with SoundHound’s goal of expanding its enterprise customer base.
Keyvan Mohajer, CEO of SoundHound AI, said, "combines our leading‑edge technology with Experis’ deep consulting expertise to help organizations deploy enterprise‑grade agentic AI and drive real operational value." The collaboration is expected to accelerate enterprise AI adoption, provide a competitive advantage in the healthcare vertical, and create a foundation for future expansion into other sectors and geographies. Analysts have responded positively, with a consensus buy rating and a range of price targets that reflect confidence in the partnership’s potential to drive growth.
The partnership positions SoundHound AI to capture a larger share of the growing enterprise AI market, leveraging Experis’s consulting network to accelerate deployment and scale. With strong financial performance, a clear growth trajectory, and a strategic alliance that expands its technology footprint, SoundHound is well positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for AI‑driven automation across large organizations.
