Enhances speech recognition using Chirp in Speech-to-Text for regional accents in India and Southeast Asia
Accelerates time-to-market while maintaining reliability across regions using Cloud Run
Secures compliant overseas deployment with the global infrastructure of Google Cloud
As consumers expect smartphones to be smarter and more future-ready, vivo partners with Google Cloud to quickly deliver secure, innovative AI features worldwide, driving rapid growth.
To create artificial intelligence (AI) smartphones that feel more like collaborators than tools, vivo needed advanced, multilingual AI capabilities that run efficiently on-device and protect user privacy. However, building features like summarization and smart writing from scratch would have taken significant time and resources.
By partnering with Google Cloud, vivo leverages Gemini on Vertex AI to quickly integrate multi-language writing, summarization, and transcription tools. Along with Chirp in Speech-to-Text, Gemini's powerful language capabilities enable vivo to deliver real-time, context-aware, and privacy-conscious AI features across its devices. Today, vivo's users enjoy seamless, intelligent writing and communication experiences, unlocking new ways to interact naturally with their smartphones.
"As smartphones evolve from tools to intelligent companions, we needed a partner to accelerate innovation at scale," says Wei Zhou, VP of vivo. "Vertex AI empowers us to deliver smarter, multilingual user experiences in a faster, more secure, and global way."
