iNAGO and NNG Announce Partnership

iNAGO’s conversational voice assistant HMI will expand the capabilities of NNG’s NavFusion Platform

TOKYO, Japan – June 3, 2015 – NNG LLC and iNAGO Inc. will be working together to develop an intelligent, conversational in-car assistant that helps drivers stay informed and stay in touch, while making their cars smarter.

As NNG continues to add content and services to its navigation portfolio, it understands the need for drivers to access the information they need in a safe, intelligent, and natural way. NNG has chosen iNAGO’s netpeople technology to bring these services to the car through NNG’s recently announced NavFusion Platform. iNAGO’s reputation for rapid deployment, innovation, and high quality were key factors in NNG choosing iNAGO as its partner.

“iNAGO is a gamechanger in the automotive industry,” said Jim Robnett, Vice President of Business Development at NNG. “By combining iNAGO’s netpeople platform with our NavFusion Platform, drivers will have a much more realistic way of dictating voice commands in the vehicle. We’re really happy to have teamed up with such an innovative company and think that together we’ll have the opportunity to improve the core driving experience – making it more intuitive, more interactive, and above all, safer.”

Conversely, as iNAGO expands its market beyond Japan, iNAGO has chosen NNG as a global partner because of NNG’s position as a market leader in automotive navigation.
“iNAGO is proud to have NNG as its first partner in North America,” Ron Di Carlantonio, CEO and Founder of iNAGO, explains. “NNG is known worldwide for the quality and breadth of their iGO navigation solutions. iNAGO’s netpeople assistant provides a smart, conversational way for drivers to find the information they need – and iGO provides the platform and navigation to get them there.”

At TU-Automotive Detroit 2015, NNG and iNAGO will introduce the NNG Assistant, based on iNAGO’s netpeople assistant platform. Drivers can interact with the NNG Assistant simply by talking to it, making for a safe, useful, and enjoyable experience.
