Hey Folks, SoundHound AI (SOUN) just delivered a quarter that turned heads. The headline is simple: growth is accelerating, the restaurant push is real, and the company is quietly stitching together a bigger play that stretches from drive-thrus to dashboards. Earnings Snapshot SoundHound's results didn't just clear the bar—they reset it. - Sales came in at $42.7M, up over 200% from a year ago and far above expectations.
- The company lost less than expected on the bottom line, showing better operating control as it scales.
- Management raised full-year revenue guidance to $160M–$178M. Hitting the middle of that range would be around ~100% growth this year.
In plain English: demand is ramping faster than most people thought, and the business is leaning into it. | | | Restaurants Are the Launchpad SoundHound is making its mark in the restaurant space. In Q1, it activated 1,000+ new restaurant locations—about 10× last year's pace. Today there are nearly 13,000 live sites using the company's voice ordering, including Five Guys, Firehouse Subs, and Burger King UK. - What's working: newer voice models plus the additions of SYNQ3 and Allset have made order taking quicker and more accurate.
- The pitch is straightforward: fewer missed calls, faster service, higher average tickets, and the phones get answered every time
CEO Keyvan Mohajer's read on the moment: in a choppy economy, restaurants want reliable help that pays for itself. From Drive-Thru to Drive-Time The bigger idea is voice commerce everywhere. SoundHound is linking restaurants, automakers, and device makers so you can place an order from the car, at a kiosk, or on your phone—same voice, same system, no extra apps or juggling vendors. That kind of convenience could pull in both restaurant chains and large tech partners who want one trusted provider. Vision AI — What It Means Without the Jargon SoundHound launched Vision AI, which basically lets its platform "see" and "hear" at the same time. Point a camera at a menu, a shelf, or a machine, and the system understands what it's looking at while it listens to you. - Real uses: personalized drive-thru experiences, quick retail inventory checks, and hands-free troubleshooting on the floor.
- Why it matters: interactions feel more natural and move faster, because the AI has context—not just words.
The company also rolled out Amelia 7.1, an under-the-hood upgrade that makes conversations snappier and more accurate, with cleaner dashboards and logs so businesses can see what the AI is doing and tune it quickly. | | | What to Watch Next ✅ Activation pace: do new restaurant locations keep climbing quarter after quarter? ✅ Same-store results: are order accuracy, speed, and ticket size staying strong at existing sites? ✅ In-car partnerships: do more brands light up drive-time ordering? ✅ Product momentum: does Vision AI show up in real deployments, not just demos? ✅ Guidance vs. delivery: does management keep lifting the outlook—and hitting it? Bottom Line SoundHound just showed why voice AI isn't a novelty—it's becoming infrastructure for everyday transactions. Keep an eye on the rollout pace and the quality of results at scale. If those stay on track, this quarter looks less like a one-off and more like a trend. | | | Also, quick plug... Don't forget about our ZipTrader+ discord!
