Insights
Cerence xUI wins industry award and shows partnership traction with Microsoft, reinforcing product credibility among OEMs.
Cerence positions xUI as a hybrid, agentic conversational platform that combines on-device and cloud models and already has adoption by several leading automakers, which supports its claim of being vehicle‑grade and integrable with third‑party agents and OEM systems.
The announcement highlights a concrete partnership: a mobile work AI agent developed with Microsoft that will run on xUI and integrate Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, Outlook, and OneNote, which evidences ecosystem ties rather than standalone marketing. Key risks remain executional: broad OEM rollouts, safety and regulatory integration, and customer uptake are not quantified here and will determine real commercial impact.
Watch for three monitorable items over the next 6–18 months: counts or names of new OEM production programs referencing xUI, technical integration milestones with Microsoft 365 Copilot, and announced vehicle launch timing or pilot deployments; these will convert recognition into measurable commercial outcomes.
Annual awards program recognizes innovation in automotive and transportation technologies around the globe
BURLINGTON, Mass., Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC) (“Cerence AI”), a global leader pioneering conversational AI-powered user experiences, today announced that its hybrid, agentic AI platform, Cerence xUI™, was named AutoTech AI Solution of the Year in the sixth annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program recognizing the top companies, technologies, and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets.
xUI – which has already been adopted by several leading automakers as the basis for their next-gen in-car assistants – is powered by CaLLM™, the company’s family of large and small language models. It offers multi-modal capabilities and seamlessly integrates third-party models, real-time data, and contextual information from the vehicle to deliver AI assistants that support drivers and passengers through natural voice interaction and fluid orchestration across multiple agents.
Standing out amongst thousands of nominations from 15 countries, xUI was recognized as AutoTech AI Solution of the Year based on the value it delivers for OEMs and their end users, including:
- Agentic capabilities: It seamlessly integrates third-party AI agents, agents built by Cerence, and agents developed by automakers themselves to deliver a cohesive user experience. Last month, Cerence announced that it is developing a mobile work AI agent in collaboration with Microsoft. The AI agent will run on xUI, integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot to allow people who choose to work in the car to do so more safely and securely through voice-first access to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, Outlook, and OneNote.
- Hybrid conversational AI: xUI runs on the cloud and the edge, giving OEMs the immediacy and reliability of on-device AI combined with the depth and flexibility of cloud-based intelligence.
- Complex interactions made simple: Multi-step conversational threads enable natural, fluid exchanges across embedded and cloud-based domains while multi-modal capabilities allow in-car AI assistants to understand the world around the vehicle and process a broader range of user input.
- Future-proof, flexible architecture: xUI integrates with OEM-first and third-party technologies, so customers can avoid vendor lock-in and choose the best hardware, software and language models for their specific needs.
- Controlled brand experience: OEMs benefit from bespoke AI assistant experiences that reinforce their brand values.
- Domain expertise: Backed by Cerence’s deep automotive experience, xUI empowers OEMs with custom solutions, effortless integration, and purpose-built automotive UX design.
“xUI delivers a crisp, context-aware conversational experience that reduces cognitive load. The result is a fully branded, personalized AI assistant that is flexible, transparent, and smarter by design,” said Cerence AI Chief Revenue Officer Christian Mentz. “We’re incredibly grateful to AutoTech Breakthrough for this award.”
“Cerence xUI is a scalable, future-ready assistant that helps deliver a differentiated, intelligent in-car experience. Most off-the-shelf solutions are adapted from general-purpose systems and fail to meet in-vehicle performance and safety requirements. These visually complex, touch-based UIs are not only distracting but fail to meet modern customer expectations for deep vehicle integration,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AutoTech Breakthrough. “xUI’s natural, voice-first interface enables users to speak freely and naturally, complete multi-step tasks through smart conversations, and receive meaningful, context-aware responses. This incredible innovation makes xUI our choice for AutoTech AI Solution of the Year.”
