It can process orders, answer customer queries and even upsell add-ons and special offers.

SoundHound co-founder and chief product officer James Hom said: “It’s becoming clear that soon every business will have a customer service voice assistant and we’re delighted to join Olo Connect to provide its entire restaurant network with access to SoundHound’s powerful voice AI.
