XAPPMEDIA has reached a milestone in its AMAZON Alexa and GOOGLE Assistant skill and app development, having created more than 1,000 paid voice apps for its clients, including consumer brands and media companies that operate on AMAZON ALEXA and GOOGLE ASSISTANT. XAPP's "One Voice AI" allows users to publish simultaneously to multiple voice assistants and provides a managed service for voice apps in production.
XAPPMEDIA CEO/Co-Founder PAT HIGBIE said, “XAPPMEDIA provides Voice AI technology designed for quality, speed of deployment, scalability and hassle free operation for brands and media that want to engage consumers on AMAZON Alexa and GOOGLE Assistant. Smart speaker use has surpassed 20% of U.S. adults and it is accelerating in countries around the globe. Voice assistant reach on smartphones is also growing fast. Voice AI gives marketers the ability to connect directly with consumers and savvy brands are realizing the importance of moving quickly to provide this new level of convenience and discovery. We fill that need with a platform that offers fast time-to-market and meets the scalability and managed services expectations of enterprises. We take care of everything and the market has responded positively to that value proposition.”
"Smart speakers are an important channel to reach radio listeners and we are already seeing strong uptake for our Alexa skills such as WESTWOOD ONE Sports and CUMULUS radio stations. Our team expects to see a lot more growth of smart speaker listening and XAPP is clearly playing an important role for WESTWOOD ONE, CUMULUS and the entire industry," said CUMULUS EVP/WESTWOOD ONE Pres. SUZANNE GRIMES. “We chose to work with XAPPMEDIA because their platform offered us fast time-to-market, cross voice assistant publishing and the scalability we needed to launch over 300 media properties on Alexa and GOOGLE Assistant. We also were happy to see that the WESTWOOD ONE PODCAST NETWORK’s DAN BONGINO SHOW was the 1,000th of XAPP’s voice apps on the One Voice AI platform."
