3. SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN)

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) is one of the worst-performing agentic AI stocks so far in 2026.

As of the latest close on April 2, 2026, the stock was down about 36.2% year to date, based on a $10.63 close on January 2 and a $6.78 close on April 2.

The latest company-specific development came on April 2, when SoundHound AI said Quálitas, a major auto insurer in Mexico, expanded its use of the company’s AI agent platform from contact-center work into end-to-end claims resolution. According to the release, the broader rollout followed earlier success in customer service, where AI-handled call volume rose 150%.

SoundHound said its agentic AI now manages more than 74% of Quálitas’ car-assistance requests end to end and captures policy numbers in more than 80% of interactions. The company said that has helped reduce human escalations while speeding up claims-related workflows. The announcement suggests SoundHound is still pushing beyond voice interfaces into more operational, enterprise-style AI deployments, particularly in insurance.

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) provides voice, conversational, and agentic AI technologies for businesses across industries including automotive, restaurants, telecom, and customer service.
