SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobvoi Inc., the company behind the popular Wear OS–powered TicWatch smartwatch line and TicNote AI recorder, today officially launches TicNote Pods, the world's first 4G-connected AI note-taking earbuds, alongside the next generation of its AI agent platform Shadow AI 2.0. Designed for professionals, students, creators, and distributed teams, TicNote Pods capture conversations anywhere — meetings, calls, interviews, or lectures — and instantly convert them into structured knowledge, summaries, and actionable tasks.

The First AI Earbuds Designed for Knowledge Capture

TicNote Pods combine premium wireless audio with built-in 4G connectivity and AI processing, enabling users to capture conversations and process them instantly — even without a phone.

Unlike traditional recorders that only capture environmental sound, TicNote Pods record both the surrounding environment and voices transmitted through the earbuds, ensuring complete conversation capture. Once recorded, audio is automatically transcribed, summarized, and synced to TicNote Cloud, where Shadow Agent can begin working with the content. This transforms everyday conversations into a searchable knowledge base and collaborative workspace.

Key Features

4G AI Recording — No Phone Required

Built-in 4G connectivity allows TicNote Pods to upload recordings directly to the cloud, delivering transcripts and summaries faster than standard connections.

Dual Recording Modes

  • Earbuds recording: captures calls and online meetings
  • Charging-case recording: captures in-person conversations hands-free

Shadow AI Transcription & Smart Summaries

Automatically produces speaker-labeled transcripts, key insights, and actionable to-do lists.

Multilingual Intelligence

Real-time transcription and translation support 100+ languages, making TicNote Pods ideal for global teams.

AI Collaboration in TicNote Cloud

Conversations become documents, project files, and tasks, editable by both users and Shadow Agent.

All-Day Comfort

Lightweight open-ear design (7g per earbud) with titanium frame and liquid silicone hooks.

Premium Earbuds Experience

ENC + AEC noise cancellation, Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, and responsive touch controls.

Hardware & Connectivity

Behind TicNote Pods is a compact system designed for real-time AI processing.

Built-in 4G eSIM

Allows recording and AI uploading without Wi-Fi or a smartphone.

Smart Connectivity Switching

Automatically switches between 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth depending on network availability.

Dual-Mic AI Noise Cancellation

Cloud-assisted noise suppression isolates voices to ensure accurate transcription.

Battery & Storage

  • 5 hours continuous recording
  • 25 hours total recording time with case
  • 40 hours music playback
  • 32GB onboard storage (≈2000 hours audio) with cloud backup.

From Conversations to Real Work

Traditional AI note-taking tools stop at transcription or summaries.

TicNote goes further.

Powered by Shadow AI 2.0, the TicNote platform turns recorded conversations into living project assets that teams can work on together with an AI collaborator.

Inside TicNote Cloud, users can:

  • Ask Shadow to analyze recordings and uploaded files together
  • Generate structured documents, slides, PRDs, landing pages directly from discussions
  • Update files across an entire project
  • Assign and track tasks created during meetings
  • Collaborate with teammates and the AI agent in the same workspace

This means meetings no longer end with notes — they end with work already in progress.

The system allows professionals in different fields to move from conversation to execution instantly.
