LiveOne (LVO - Free Report) recently collaborated with Seekr Technologies, a company specializing in advanced AI solutions. The strategic partnership is set to design the industry's first AI-driven search tool for beats and sounds, which will be available for creators by the end of the calendar.

In April 2024, Seekr and Intel collaborated to develop leading-edge large language models and foundation models. Through Seekr’s alliance with Intel, LVO can operate its search and discovery platform on the Intel Developer Cloud.

By leveraging Seekr's multi-year partnership with Intel and the power of the Intel Developer Cloud, the initiative aims to unlock unprecedented opportunities for artists and creators, such as music composition and licensing cutting-edge technology.  

The platform's AI search engine, combined with LiveOne's comprehensive suite of beats and sounds, will enable creators to effortlessly align and create music, while also opening up new revenue streams, added LVO.

Based in Chicago, USA, LVO is a one-stop destination for all entertainment and streaming-related content that enhances the online viewing experience for content creators, media partners and brand sponsors.

In the last reported quarter, LVO’s revenues soared 21% year over year to $30.9 million, beating the consensus mark by 2%.
