AUDIOBURST's voice search and spoken-word clip curation platform will be integrated into Android Auto via the AUDIOBURST Auto Android app and into SAMSUNG's Bixby AI platform. The Auto version will allow drivers to choose from curated playlists and customized news feeds; with Bixby, the AUDIOBURST "burst" clip technology will allow personalized news feeds similar to those on AMAZON's Alexa and GOOGLE's Assistant platforms.
"Our primary focus at AUDIOBURST is connecting listeners to the world's best talk-audio content," said AUDIOBURST VP of Product RACHEL BATISH, "These days everyone is busy and on the move. It's impossible to parse all of the information thrown our way, especially during hands-free moments, such as when we are behind the wheel. Both AUDIOBURST Auto and our integration with Bixby ensure that listeners can get fresh, relevant audio no matter where their day takes them."
"We're excited to be working with AUDIOBURST as part of Bixby's Developer Premier program," said SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA Sr. Dir. DAVID GENE OH. "We're always looking for new, innovative ways to bring Bixby users the information and entertainment they need, and we think AUDIOBURST's short-form, hands-free approach to audio is a perfect match."
"We are excited to partner with Bixby and to continue pioneering personalized, voice-first listening experiences," said AUDIOBURST CEO AMIR HIRSH. "We take pride in connecting listeners to what they want to listen to, seamlessly, across all devices and situations."
