In a strategic move toward revolutionizing wearable technology, Humane, the creators of the Humane AI Pin, have partnered with Optiva BSS to introduce their innovative mobile device to the world. Unveiling details of their mobile service provision for the Humane AI Pin, the companies are set to pioneer the first-ever mobile wearable device and software platform equipped with embedded mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) connectivity. Initially announced in November 2023, the embedded MVNO connectivity within the AI Pin is designed to provide users with personalized AI services. Optiva, recognized as a leading provider of mission-critical and cloud-native revenue management software for the telecommunications industry, will play a pivotal role in powering billing, network integration, and value-added services for AI Pin users.
With a focus on seamlessly integrating AI into daily routines, the collaboration between Humane and Optiva aims to empower users to harness the full potential of AI, thereby enhancing global interactions. The AI Pin, an ambitious step toward making AI more accessible and human-driven, seeks to define a new class of devices. Optiva's BSS Platform, available as a cloud-native SaaS solution, will contribute to delivering personalized experiences for AI Pin users through its modular and unified end-to-end suite of integrations and services deployed on the public cloud. Leveraging Optiva's software and global telecom industry expertise, Humane aims to concentrate on its vision and deliver a simpler, more intuitive customer experience. Bethany Bongiorno, CEO and Co-founder of Humane, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "The AI Pin is our first step in building for a future where AI is embedded in our daily lives in ways which are screenless, seamless and sensing." She emphasized the partnership with Optiva, highlighting their shared passion for intelligent innovation.
The wireless and screenless experience offered by Humane's new AI Pin is powered by Cosmos, a novel operating system tailored for AI digital transformations. Cosmos eliminates the need for traditional app downloads, providing a conversational experience with the AI Pin chat function without a screen or wake words. Notably, it doesn't require pairing with a smartphone or companion device, offering users a truly standalone experience. Cosmos, designed for simplicity and expansive digital living, blends intelligent technologies with intuitive interaction and advanced security. In a bid to provide this wireless service for AI Pin users, Humane is set to launch its MVNO. Robert Stabile, CEO of Optiva, expressed pride in the partnership, highlighting Optiva's commitment to integrating AI into daily experiences on a global scale.
