New integration empowers TicNote Pods to offer AI transcription and summarization and other AI features, giving professionals a choice between cloud-based convenience and local data sovereignty powered by Olares One's NVIDIA 5090 Mobile GPU.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobvoi, a global leader in AI interaction and hardware, and Olares, the innovator behind the Personal AI Cloud, today announced a partnership designed to redefine the modern workflow. By integrating Mobvoi's TicNote Pods with the computational power of Olares One, the two companies are introducing a flexible ecosystem that offers users an unprecedented choice between subscription-based cloud services and private, local processing.

The partnership centers on the TicNote Pods, a device that has already garnered significant industry acclaim as the world's first 4G-enabled AI note-taking earbuds. Unlike traditional wearables that rely on a tethered smartphone, TicNote Pods operate autonomously. Whether in a boardroom, a lecture hall, or on a run, these earbuds capture high-fidelity audio and instant voice memos, ensuring that no critical information or sudden flash of inspiration is ever lost.

However, as AI becomes more integral to daily work, professionals increasingly seek options that cater to different data sensitivities. Recognizing this, Mobvoi and Olares have collaborated to create a "Local Mode" that expands the TicNote ecosystem.

Leveraging a local version of Shadow AI, Olares One processes incoming data to perform heavy-duty tasks, including multi-language translation, intelligent transcription, and contextual summarization.

This hybrid approach allows users to enjoy the convenience of Mobvoi's public cloud services for general tasks while reserving Olares One for highly sensitive, confidential conversations.

To ensure that "local" does not mean "slower", Olares One is engineered as a powerhouse. It runs on the self-developed, open-source Olares OS and is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 mobile GPU. This hardware specification ensures that local AI tasks are executed with speed and precision that rivals top-tier cloud servers.

"The combination of TicNote Pods and Olares One is set to change the industry landscape," said Peng Peng, Founder of Olares. "We are focused on helping professionals find the perfect balance between privacy and efficiency."

"TicNote Pods were designed to capture and make sense of every idea, meeting, and lecture in real time," said Zhifei Li, Founder and CEO of Mobvoi. "By integrating with Olares One, we are giving professionals the freedom to choose how and where their AI processes work–whether leveraging the cloud for speed or their own private setup for sensitive data. Together, we are redefining productivity, privacy and AI-assisted knowledge management."

Both TicNote Pods and Olares One are currently capturing strong support via their respective crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter. These devices are scheduled to begin shipping to early backers in February 2026.
