Mobvoi and Olares are partnering to build a hybrid-cloud AI productivity ecosystem built around Mobvoi’s TicNote Pods and Olares One, enabling both cloud-based and on-device AI processing.

The Local Mode uses Shadow AI on Olares One to run heavy AI tasks—like multilingual translation, transcription, and contextual summarization—on-device for better data privacy.

TicNote Pods are 4G-enabled, autonomous note-taking earbuds designed to capture audio and memos in real time, suitable for meetings, lectures, or workouts.

The press release also includes unrelated content about JSAUX announcing CES 2026 presence and a lineup of gaming accessories, illustrating mixed content from PR Newswire distribution.

Both TicNote Pods and Olares One are backed by Kickstarter campaigns and are slated to ship to early backers in February 2026.
