At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Ultraviolette unveiled a voice-enabled AI assistant integrated into its F77 electric motorcycle. Branded as 'Violette', the technology has been co-developed with SoundHound AI and enables riders to operate and access functions through straightforward voice commands, enhancing convenience and connectivity on the move.
The showcase featured visitors controlling various functions of the F77 with simple voice prompts. Using the wake phrase 'Violette', riders could activate riding modes, initiate navigation, and access real-time user manual queries, including recommended tyre pressure, service instructions, and how-to guides. The demo also highlighted futuristic features such as pre-ride checks, ride statistics, proactive alerts, and service alerts- all accessible through voice.
