Ultraviolette Reveals AI Voice Assistant for F77 at CES 2026

Riding a high-performance electric motorcycle just got a whole lot smarter. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas, Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive showcased a futuristic leap in rider-machine interaction.

The company pulled the covers off its new AI-powered voice assistant, 'Violette', integrated directly into its flagship F77 electric motorcycle. Co-developed with SoundHound AI, this tech promises to let riders control their bike without lifting a finger—or taking their eyes off the road. 

What is ‘Violette’?

Think of it as Siri or Alexa, but specifically trained for the high-speed demands of motorcycling. Ultraviolette’s new assistant allows riders to operate critical functions of the F77 using simple, natural voice commands.

• The Partner: Co-developed with SoundHound AI, a global leader in voice artificial intelligence.
• The Interface: It works through a specialized audio-integrated helmet, acting as the bridge between the rider and the bike.
• The Goal: To make riding safer and more intuitive by removing the need to fiddle with buttons or screens while riding.

Features: What Can It Do?

During the demo at CES 2026, visitors experienced firsthand just how deeply integrated ‘Violette’ is with the F77’s ecosystem. By simply using the wake phrase "Violette", riders could access a suite of features:

• Ride Controls: Switch between riding modes (Glide, Combat, Ballistic) instantly.
• Navigation: Initiate route guidance to your destination.
• Digital User Manual: Ask real-time questions like "What is the recommended tyre pressure?" or "How do I adjust the suspension?"
• Smart Diagnostics: Perform pre-ride checks, view ride statistics, and receive proactive service alerts before issues become problems.

Leadership Speak: Why Voice?

Narayan Subramaniam, CEO & Co-founder of Ultraviolette, emphasized that this isn't just a gimmick—it's about safety.

"At Ultraviolette, we believe AI is going to play a pivotal role in enhancing rider safety. The integration of Violette A.I. with SoundHound AI marks a significant step in advancing human-machine interaction. By enabling seamless voice-led control, we are creating a riding experience that is intuitive, immersive, and future-ready, allowing riders to stay fully focused on what matters most—the road ahead."

Echoing this sentiment, Niraj Rajmohan, CTO & Co-founder, added that the goal is to bring riders closer to their machines effortlessly.

"Violette A.I. represents a huge step where every command, every query, and every interaction enhances rider confidence, safety, and comfort. We are creating a new paradigm of connected mobility that is smarter, safer, and deeply human-centric."

Final Verdict: A Game Changer?

Voice assistants in cars are common, but on a motorcycle—where wind noise and concentration are major factors—it is a bold frontier. If Ultraviolette can pull this off with low latency and high accuracy, the F77 won't just be the fastest electric bike in India; it will be the smartest.

The move also signals Ultraviolette’s intent to be a global tech player, not just a bike manufacturer. With the F77 already turning heads in Europe, ‘Violette’ might be the feature that sets it apart from the competition.
