FortyTwoDot Unveils 'Gleo AI' Technology Enabling Human-Like Conversations with Cars

In-Vehicle Voice AI Agent "Gleo AI"

Comprehensive Understanding of Conversational Context and Driving Conditions

"We Will Develop It into a Personalized AI"

FortyTwoDot has completed the development of its large language model (LLM)-based in-vehicle voice AI agent, "Gleo AI," which is capable of natural, human-like conversations, and unveiled the related technology on May 21.

Gleo AI is an in-vehicle voice AI agent developed by FortyTwoDot, the global software center of Hyundai Motor Group, which began development in 2024 and was introduced for the first time this month through Hyundai Motor's "The New Grandeur." Based on a large language model, Gleo AI enables natural communication as if conversing with passengers in the vehicle, providing information or directly controlling various functions in response to user requests.

Developed with the intention of opening a new horizon for mobility AI, Gleo AI goes beyond simply executing commands. Leveraging voice technology optimized for vehicle environments, it can recognize the speaker’s location and comprehensively understand the user’s intent by considering conversational context and driving conditions. It then selects and combines the most suitable agents to process the intent, executes the required functions, and generates responses that sound natural, like a human.

Gleo AI, as a voice AI agent developed for in-vehicle technology, allows users to safely control a variety of functions, from setting navigation destinations to managing air conditioning and operating vehicle features, all through spoken commands. This enables drivers and passengers to continuously interact with the vehicle and enjoy a pleasant and convenient mobility experience without needing to press buttons or use touch controls.

The architecture of Gleo AI is designed so that various LLMs can be selectively utilized according to the purpose of each stage—understanding, reasoning, and response generation—ensuring both high performance and flexibility.

Additionally, Gleo AI organically carries out the entire "perception-judgment-execution" process specialized for the vehicle environment, based on its technical features: LLM Intelligence, Hybrid AI Architecture, Speech Intelligence, and Gleo Interface.

Furthermore, to enhance customer experience reliability, FortyTwoDot has applied its proprietary "Guardrail Agent." The company also plans to continuously improve the functions and quality of Gleo AI through future over-the-air (OTA) updates.

Minwoo Park, CEO of FortyTwoDot, stated, "Gleo AI is a 'mobility companion that relieves my burden,' and it will be further advanced to perform more functions naturally and understand context. In the mid- to long-term, we will develop it into a personalized AI that understands user behaviors and preferences, providing assistance without users having to speak."
