TicNote Pods Debut as 4G AI Note-Taking Earbuds

Mobvoi is pushing a fresh category of wearable intelligence with TicNote Pods, a pair of 4G-enabled earbuds built to turn real-world conversations into structured AI summaries and searchable transcripts. Aimed at students, creators, and professionals who constantly hop between meetings, calls, and field work, these earbuds function as an autonomous recorder that works even when the phone stays in your pocket or bag.

4G Connectivity Makes the Earbuds Truly Autonomous

Instead of relying on Bluetooth tethering or patchy Wi-Fi, TicNote Pods integrate a 4G eSIM that sends audio recordings to the cloud for processing at higher speeds. Mobvoi’s cloud pipeline promises summaries within minutes, even inside offline meeting rooms or while commuting. By cutting the dependency on the phone, the earbuds behave more like a standalone AI device than a traditional audio accessory.

Dual-Source Recording for Meetings and Lectures

TicNote Pods capture sound from both the earbuds and the charging case, enabling wide-range pickup for group discussions and multi-voice clarity in open spaces. This dual-input approach makes them useful for interviews, classroom sessions, project briefings, and hybrid meetings where participants move around. The case effectively works like a tiny table microphone, covering 5 to 10 meters.

Shadow AI Boosts Transcription and Knowledge Building

All recordings move into the TicNote ecosystem powered by Mobvoi’s Shadow AI, which handles real-time translation, structured summaries, mind maps, and contextual search. Over time, the app organizes conversations into a personal knowledge base, allowing users to revisit insights, filter topics, or review action items. The system is designed to make the earbuds feel like an assistant that improves the more you use it.

Designed for Daily Wear with Long Battery Life

TicNote Pods operate as everyday earbuds too, offering up to 40 hours of music playback and long-form recording endurance for busy workdays. Each session supports up to 5 hours of continuous recording, extendable to 25 hours via the charging case. With options in Navy Blue and Pearl White, they aim to blend into both work settings and casual daily use.

Mobvoi positions TicNote Pods as the beginning of a new generation of self-development devices that work alongside cloud AI models instead of acting as passive accessories. The earbuds will debut on Kickstarter for $199 (MSRP $299), with shipping scheduled to begin in January 2025. Global 4G support covers the U.S., Europe, UK, Australia, and Canada.
