Fluent.ai

Fluent.ai is a Montreal-based speech recognition software company, founded in 2015, that voice-enables the world's devices with embedded, offline voice AI. Its patented "speech-to-intent" technology maps a user's speech directly to their intended action using acoustic deep neural networks, with no speech-to-text transcription and no cloud connection required. The result is a small-footprint, private-by-design engine that runs fully on-device, is robust to noise, and works across languages and accents. Fluent.ai licenses two core products to OEMs and ODMs: Fluent.ai Air (Automatic Intent Recognition), an on-device command-recognition engine, and Fluent.ai Wakeword, a small-footprint wake-word / keyword-spotting solution. Target markets include smart-home devices, wearables and hearables (including True Wireless Stereo), and industrial IoT and robotics. The company distributes its technology as embedded SDKs and reference designs through hardware partnerships (e.g. Arm, Cadence Tensilica, Knowles) rather than a public cloud API. It is a portfolio company of 500 Global.

Fluent.ai is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Voice AI, Speech Recognition, Embedded, and On-Device.
