As Experis’ conversational AI technology partner, SoundHound AI will play a key role within the EXCELERATE AI portfolio, positioning its conversational and agentic AI technologies as core enablers within Experis’ broader AI services framework—helping enterprises achieve faster time‑to‑value through disciplined activation, implementation, and scale.

“Enterprises are eager to move beyond experimentation and deploy AI solutions that deliver measurable impact,” said Keyvan Mohajer, Co-Founder and CEO of SoundHound AI. “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.”

Through the agreement, Experis will refer and co-sell SoundHound AI’s agentic AI platform and Autonomics solutions to its enterprise clients, while also supporting implementation and deployment to ensure organizations can scale AI initiatives effectively.

“Organizations everywhere are investing heavily in AI, but the real challenge isn’t the technology itself; it’s turning that investment into real business outcomes. This is about bringing human expertise together with agentic solutions and piloting new ways of getting work done with our clients. 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,” said Kye Mitchell, President of Experis U.S. “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. When organizations get that combination right, they move faster, innovate more effectively, and there’s more room for their people to grow alongside the business.”
