CERENCE INC. 
So why is everyone talking about Cerence these days? On January 3, their stock jumped a spectacular 143.76% on the stock market. Why?

Basically, they'll be working together to make luxury cars even more intelligent and interactive. This is an important partnership for Cerence, as JLR is a major player in the automotive world.
The company doesn't just make announcements. They're working hard to integrate agentic frameworks into in-car conversations. This means combining their expertise in hardware, software and user interface to create even more advanced AI systems.
Cerence offers its customers five types of solution. First, conversational and generative AI, which makes interaction between drivers and their cars more natural and intuitive.
