42dot is providing the first over-the-air (OTA) software update for 'Gleo AI,' a vehicle voice AI agent based on large language models (LLMs).

The update will be distributed via Hyundai Motor's 'The New Grandeur' Pleos Connect OTA. 42dot focused on improving frequently used functions such as navigation, phone calls, and text messages, reflecting customer feedback collected since the launch of Gleo AI in May.

The core of the update is enhanced navigation integration. When a driver requests a location by voice while driving, Gleo AI uses an LLM to understand intent and context. It suggests optimal locations for rest areas, gas stations, and restrooms without additional conditions, taking into account the current position and distance. Drivers can complete route searches and destination settings using only their voices, without any manual operation.

Communication convenience has also been improved. The system now supports an on-device feature based on a text-to-speech (TTS) engine that reads out text message content upon voice command. When searching for gas stations, it provides prices by fuel type, and if there are multiple waypoints, it conveys information on all locations along with the remaining time. The logic has also been refined to ensure audio functions according to the connection status when a Bluetooth music playback request is made.

Safety controls have also been added. Phone calls and text message transmissions triggered by voice commands from rear-seat passengers are restricted to prevent malfunctions. The update is conducted wirelessly without visiting a service center, following guidance when the vehicle is started. Details can be found on the Hyundai Motor vehicle software update homepage.

Founded in 2019, 42dot is a mobility AI company and the global software center of the Hyundai Motor Group, leading the transition to SDV (Software-Defined Vehicles). The company plans to continue applying OTAs focused on features with high frequency of actual use going forward.
