The Jolla Mind2 also features "knowledge bases", allowing users to connect to curated repositories of information to extend the device's utility. The company is also considering a B2B licensing model to scale the uptake of their AI device. The AI component of the product is being developed under a new business entity, Venho AI, which will also act as a licensing supplier to other businesses wanting to offer their own versions of the personal-server-cum-AI-assistant concept.
Key takeaways:
- Jolla has unveiled the first version of its personal server-based AI assistant, the Jolla Mind2, which is focused on privacy and productivity.
- The device will house a series of AI agents that integrate with third-party services to perform various functions, such as managing emails and contacts.
- The device will process data on-device, ensuring user queries and data remain secure. However, users will have the option to send queries to third-party large language models, with the understanding that this means their data will leave the secure environment.
- Alongside direct sales, Jolla is also considering a B2B licensing model to scale uptake of their AI device, with potential customers including telcos.
