Recognized for transforming in-car entertainment with Agentic AI and personalized content discovery.  

Karlsruhe, Germany, June 25, 2026 – Cinemo, a global leader and innovative one-stop-shop provider for fully integrated, AI-powered  in-car infotainment solutions, today announced that Cinemo ICO™ MediaMind has won the “AI Search Innovation Award” in the 9th annual AI Breakthrough Awards, recognizing the top companies, technologies and products in the global AI market. 

Cinemo ICO™ MediaMind is an AI-powered media-discovery service combining agentic AI with intelligent media management, to help drivers and passengers discover the right content for every ride, perfectly matched to their taste, context, and environment. It understands every request, even vague spoken commands, and turns them into precise, playable media results across audio, video, podcasts and live content. 

Designed for production at scale, Cinemo ICO™ MediaMind is compatible with any in-car assistant, language model and automotive platform, with an architecture aligned to automotive standards. 

“Cinemo ICO™ MediaMind is not just a smarter search tool, it anticipates what fits the moment and turns a vague request into the right experience instantly,” said Abe Silhan, Vice President Sales at Cinemo. “This recognition from AI Breakthrough affirms our goal: in-car entertainment that feels effortless for the passenger and becomes a natural part of the AI-powered cockpit experience.” 

“Many new car manufacturers are moving away from touch screens and menus and back to buttons and knobs, to reduce driver distraction. However, that doesn’t translate into modern convenience,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, AI Breakthrough. “Cinemo ICO™ MediaMind is transforming the cockpit into a personal, context-aware media environment that reduces search friction and keeps attention where it belongs.”
