SoundHound AI announced the launch of OASYS, a self‑learning, agentic AI platform that automates the entire lifecycle of AI agents—from creation to continuous improvement. The platform is designed to deploy agents across phones, web chats, in‑vehicle infotainment systems, and in‑store kiosks, positioning the company to capture a broad share of the conversational‑AI market.
The announcement follows a record Q4 2025, when SoundHound reported revenue of $55.1 million, up 59% year‑over‑year, and a full‑year revenue of $168.9 million, a 99% increase from the prior year. The company’s guidance for 2026 projects revenue between $225 million and $260 million, reflecting confidence in the adoption of OASYS and the continued expansion of its enterprise AI portfolio.
Investors reacted positively to the announcement, reflecting confidence in the platform’s potential to accelerate AI adoption across multiple verticals. The company’s market position is further strengthened by its recent acquisition of LivePerson, which is expected to broaden its enterprise customer base and accelerate path to profitability.
CEO Keyvan Mohajer emphasized that OASYS represents a fundamental shift from static AI to a self‑learning ecosystem, stating, "With OASYS, we are fundamentally shifting from static AI to a self‑learning ecosystem where AI builds, manages, and actively improves itself." He also cautioned against companies betting solely on one AI model, underscoring the importance of a model‑agnostic strategy.
OASYS integrates capabilities from recent acquisitions, including LivePerson, and is designed to be model‑agnostic, allowing customers to switch between AI models without vendor lock‑in. This flexibility positions SoundHound to compete against larger incumbents such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, while maintaining a differentiated offering.
The company faces ongoing short interest and intense competition in the AI space, but its strong revenue growth, improving gross margins driven by infrastructure optimization and portfolio pruning, and the strategic expansion of its enterprise AI business—particularly in healthcare and financial services—provide a solid foundation for continued growth.
Guidance for 2026 indicates that SoundHound expects revenue to reach between $225 million and $260 million, a 33% to 54% increase from the prior year, and signals confidence in the scalability of its agentic AI platform and the broader AI market.
