Cerence Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Cerence (NASDAQ: CRNC) will showcase updates to its Cerence xUI agentic AI platform at CES 2026 (Jan 6-9) in Las Vegas, highlighting CaLLM Edge running on multiple chipsets for lower latency and improved edge performance.

Key demos include new domain-specific agents (ownership companion and dealer assist), a mobile work agent integrated with Microsoft 365 Copilot, enhanced multimodal edge AI with SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC, and advanced Audio AI for multi-speaker, noise reduction, and emergency vehicle detection. Attendees can see demos at Booth #6826 in LVCC West Hall.

Cerence (NASDAQ: CRNC) introduced two new domain-specific AI agents — the dealer assist agent and the ownership companion agent — aimed at expanding its conversational, agentic AI beyond the vehicle into dealerships and OEM services.

The dealer assist agent automates lead capture, test-drive booking, service scheduling and integrates with CRM and DMS platforms to improve response times and routing. The ownership companion agent provides in-car diagnostics, alert interpretation, scheduling and multi-channel access (phone, web, messaging, app, in-car).

Both agents debut at CES 2026 and create a real-time, context-aware handoff between vehicle and dealership to extend brand engagement across the ownership journey.
