Voice AI Startup aiOla Raises $25 Million, Explores Partnership with United Airlines

aiOla, a voice and conversational AI company from Israel, has raised $25 million in its Series A2 funding round. This brings the company’s total funding to $58 million so far.

United Airlines Ventures also took part in the round as a strategic investor, which could lead to more collaboration between aiOla and the airline in the future.

aiOla makes technology that turns spoken words into structured data that machines can understand, even in places where regular voice tools don’t work well.

Its system can handle loud environments, different languages, strong accents, and technical terms. This helps workers record information quickly by speaking, instead of writing it down.

United Airlines Ventures said it is looking at how aiOla’s voice technology can be used in different parts of the airline, like with ground staff and maintenance teams.

The idea is to turn spoken instructions and reports into real-time data that goes straight into their systems, making work faster and reducing the need for forms and manual updates.

“aiOla’s technology addresses a basic but widespread challenge: how to reliably capture spoken information in complex environments and use it immediately,” said Andrew Chang, Managing Director of United Airlines Ventures. “We see broad potential across the travel industry and beyond.”

This funding comes at a time when voice AI is becoming more popular. The global market for speech recognition grew by about 25% last year, reaching $5.4 billion, according to experts.

While big tech companies like OpenAI and ElevenLabs are leading in this space, aiOla says its advantage is in creating speech tools that are specially designed for certain industries and tasks, where general AI tools don’t always work well.

aiOla’s main product, called Jargonic, uses a special patented system to understand industry-specific words very accurately. The company says it can easily adjust the model for different fields, helping businesses automate reporting and data entry without changing their current systems.

“Voice is still the simplest way to get information from the field to the system,” said Amir Haramaty, aiOla’s president and co-founder. “But in practice, it’s still underused because so much speech recognition falls short when there’s noise, multiple speakers, or specialized terminology.”
