aiOla Secures $25M, including Strategic Investment from United Airlines Ventures to Bring Voice AI to Aviation and Beyond

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- aiOla, a leading deep tech voice & conversational AI lab, today announced a $25 million Series A2 round that included United Airlines Ventures as a strategic investor along with existing investors, bringing the company's total funding to date to $58 million. The funding is part of a potentially broader collaboration with United Airlines, as they explore the use of aiOla's benchmark-setting technology across a variety of use cases, and to turn speech into structured, actionable data.

aiOla instantly turns spoken data into structured data, even in noisy, multilingual, and jargon-heavy environments where generic Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tools fall short. Field teams simply speak their reports into aiOla's Jargonic system, and aiOla handles transcription, jargon recognition, and data structuring – eliminating manual entry and enabling faster, more informed decision-making across operations. Designed for real-world complexity, aiOla is especially valuable in complex environments such as aviation.

aiOla's jargon-specific ASR engine delivers stronger adoption, real-time reporting, and higher data accuracy. United Airlines is exploring aiOla's Voice AI ecosystem for a variety of potential use cases – supporting over one hundred languages, the platform allows employees to interact naturally regardless of noise, accent, or jargon, instantly logging structured data into backend systems.

Andrew Chang, Managing Director - United Airlines Ventures, Corporate Development:
"UAV believes aiOla's technology has a limitless number of applications across industries, as it solves a fundamental problem of capturing data from speech and, with speed and precision, converting it into structured data to be used in any machine learning and artificial intelligence applications," said Andrew Chang, head of United Airlines Ventures (UAV). "United Airlines Ventures was created to invest in companies that are defining the future of travel technology. We believe companies with innovative technologies like aiOla will play an important role in that future."

aiOla's A2 round comes as the voice AI market surges, growing 25% to $5.4 billion in 2024. The company has strengthened its position as a leading voice & conversational AI lab since its Series A, backed by peer-reviewed research and real-world deployments. What sets aiOla apart is its patented AdaKWS model, which detects industry-specific jargon with 95% accuracy and adapts quickly to any workflow, unlike generic speech tools. The technology powers Jargonic, aiOla's speech ecosystem that outperforms models from OpenAI and ElevenLabs in challenging multispeaker, noisy, and multilingual environments. This progress is fueled by top aiOla's researchers who are from premier tech institutes worldwide.

"In complex operations, incomplete or delayed data isn't just a widespread industry challenge," said Amir Haramaty, President and Co-Founder of aiOla. "Voice is the only interface that can solve the core data challenges – quality, volume, and real-time visibility – without disrupting existing workflows.. With United Airlines Ventures' investment, we can accelerate the adoption of Voice AI, delivering measurable value from day one."

aiOla is making its Voice AI platform available, enabling developers to access its patented speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and audio intelligence tools through a simple API. The platform offers affordable, flexible access to aiOla's voice capabilities for enterprise use cases and will be available at aiOla.ai.
