Mobvoi launches TicNote Pods, the first 4G AI note-taking earbuds delivering instant summaries and dual-source recording, debuting soon on Kickstarter.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mobvoi Inc., the company behind the popular Wear OS-powered TicWatch series and TicNote, today announced TicNote Pods, the world’s first 4G-connected AI note-taking earbuds, debuting soon on Kickstarter. Designed for professionals, students, and creators, TicNote Pods automatically record, transcribe, and summarize conversations — capturing both environmental audio and voices transmitted through your earbuds during calls.
Powered by built-in 4G eSIM and Mobvoi’s Shadow AI, TicNote Pods deliver anywhere-anytime instant summaries, uploading and processing audio without relying on a phone or Wi-Fi. With 4G, recordings are sent to the cloud up to 50% faster, enabling transcripts and summaries to be ready in about 3 minutes even in offline meeting rooms or on-the-go. Both the earbuds and the charging case support recording, making TicNote Pods an all-in-one tool for online meetings, offline discussions, lectures, interviews, and remote calls.
TicNote Pods: The World’s First 4G-Connected AI Earbuds
A New Category: The Autonomous AI Device
With 4G built directly into the earbuds, TicNote Pods introduce a new category of autonomous AI devices — hardware that no longer depends on a phone to process audio or trigger AI. TicNote Pods are not just “faster” or “more connected”; they are purpose-built for AI, designed from the ground up to run alongside powerful cloud models as an always-on extension of your mind.
By the time a meeting ends, summaries, insights, and follow-ups are already generated — marking the beginning of self-development devices that grow with users through real-world interactions.

TicNote Pods will debut on Kickstarter at an early-bird price of $199 (MSRP $299).
