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 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.
