Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ:CRNC) is one of the worst AI stocks to invest in according to financial media. On September 8, during IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, Germany, Cerence Inc., also known as Cerence AI, announced that it is developing a new mobile work AI agent in collaboration with Microsoft. The AI agent, which will run on Cerence xUI, is designed to enable hands-free, voice-first mobile work by integrating with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, Outlook, and OneNote.

The goal is to allow people to work more safely and securely while in their cars. The new AI agent is being developed to address the rise of mobile work and the associated risks of distracted driving. It aims to minimize driver distraction through context-aware functionality that adjusts depending on whether the user is driving, parked, or riding in an autonomous vehicle.

The agent can seamlessly and proactively orchestrate between Microsoft 365 Copilot and other car domains, such as navigation, to provide a cohesive experience. For example, it can offer proactive navigation suggestions based on a user’s work calendar. The agent will also allow users to draft messages, build meeting agendas, and turn notes into documents using only their voice. It will be able to provide daily debriefs and manage calendars, and will also learn user preferences over time.

Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ:CRNC) provides AI-powered virtual assistants for the mobility/transportation market. It offers edge software components, cloud-connected components, virtual assistant coexistence, and professional services. It also provides conversational AI-based solutions.
