An interesting case about Ukrainian development! I had no idea that Allset had roots in Ukraine 🇺🇦 It's cool that a domestic startup was absorbed by such a serious company as SoundHound AI.

This is really good news for the Ukrainian startup environment. The company founded by Ukrainians was noticed and integrated into the own solutions of such a giant as SoundHound. Great to see such success! 🚀

I see, SoundHound has been set up to automate orders. Perhaps soon there will be common cases when food can be ordered even through car speakers 🚘 It's interesting to watch the progress of voice technologies in various industries.

And why all these newfangled gadgets? 😒 It's easier to go to a cafe or restaurant yourself and order everything with the waiter. Firstly, this way you can make sure that you are understood, and secondly, social interaction with people is good for mental health. AI will in no way replace real human communication!

@Henrykh, I understand your position, however, voice assistants are a convenient option for certain situations, for example, when you urgently need to order food to the office or home. In addition, such technologies make services more accessible to people with disabilities 🧑🦽

I agree with @Франческа, adaptive technologies are very important. And the development of products like Allset's is a good opportunity for the Ukrainian IT industry to show its strength on the global market 💪🇺🇦
