Following the successful launch of the X-47 with radar safety features, Ultraviolette has introduced ‘Violette’, a next-generation AI-powered voice assistant, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026. Developed in partnership with Soundhound AI, Violette allows riders to interact seamlessly with the F77 motorcycle using intuitive voice commands, marking a new era in connected mobility.
The demonstration showcased riders controlling multiple functions of the F77 through simple voice prompts using the wake word ‘Violette’. Key features include activating riding modes, initiating navigation, accessing real-time user manual queries such as recommended tire pressure, service instructions, and how-to guides, as well as pre-ride checks, ride statistics, proactive alerts, and maintenance notifications—all accessible hands-free.
Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-founder of Ultraviolette, highlighted the safety and user experience benefits of the innovation:
“AI is pivotal in enhancing rider safety. Integrating Violette with Soundhound AI enables seamless voice-led control, creating an intuitive, immersive, and future-ready riding experience while keeping riders focused on the road.”
Niraj Rajmohan, CTO and Co-founder, added that the assistant anticipates rider needs, simplifies complex interactions, and delivers instant information, significantly enhancing rider confidence, safety, and comfort.
The Violette AI system operates via an audio-integrated helmet, serving as the interface between the rider and the motorcycle. This setup ensures distraction-free access to information without the need to look away from the road, setting a new benchmark for smart, connected, and human-centric motorcycle mobility.
