Humane selects Optiva BSS for AI Pin launch on Cloud Telecom

Humane AI Pin is the first mobile wearable device and software platform that embeds the functionality of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) connection. It aims to provide personal AI services, and the two companies have collaborated to achieve its functionality.

This product with embedded MVNO connection functionality was announced in November 2023, with the aim of providing personal AI services to users.

Bringing AI to the personal level, combining 5G and IoT

Optiva is a leading provider of mission-critical and cloud-native revenue management software for the telecommunications industry. Its products are available globally, including private and public clouds, and help service providers maximize opportunities in digitization, 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and emerging markets.

Humane has chosen Optiva's full-stack BSS solution to help drive its users' billing, network integration, and value-added services. AI Pin aims to seamlessly integrate into people's daily lives, and the purpose of this collaboration is to enable users to carry the full capabilities of AI with them and enhance world interactions through its functionality.

Ai Pin aims to define a new category of devices that help make AI more accessible and user-centric. Optiva's BSS platform, as a cloud-native SaaS solution, will support personalized experiences for Ai Pin customers through its modular and unified cloud-based end-to-end integration and service suite.

In addition, Optiva's software and its expertise in the global telecommunications industry will ultimately empower Humane to focus on its vision and provide a simpler, more intuitive customer experience.

Bethany Bongiorno, CEO and Co-founder of Humane, said, "Ai Pin is our first step in building the future where AI is embedded in our daily lives in a screenless, seamless, and intuitive way. We are proud to collaborate with Optiva to make this a reality, leveraging their BSS platform, telecommunications industry expertise, and our shared passion for intelligent innovation."

Wireless (and screenless) experience

Humane's new Ai Pin is powered by Cosmos, a new operating system tailored for AI digital transformation. It has a software framework that eliminates the need for traditional application downloads and enables conversational experiences with AI Pinchat functionality without a screen or wake word. It also does not require pairing with a smartphone or companion device.

Cosmos aims to blend intelligent technology with intuitive interaction and advanced security. It is designed to be simple because it aims to ensure users' digital lives are effortless and feel infinitely expandable. To provide such wireless services for Ai Pin, Humane is launching its own MVNO.

Robert Stabile, CEO of Optiva, said, "From our first meeting with Humane, we were inspired to work together to make Ai Pin a reality. Optiva is proud to collaborate with Humane to integrate AI into the everyday experience, leveraging our integration capabilities with multiple network providers worldwide to achieve the necessary scale for this innovation."
