爱心AI有段时间。 Amazon 发布是一个与Bee一起使用的新腕织设备；一个前Plaud exec 发布环境应用通过一个名为Ambi的启动程序，它也旨在建立自己的硬件；以及Apple 发布语音智能功能在9月的iPhone 发布期间。 现在，一个叫Nirva的公司正在打赌一个像珠宝的柱子并且它的能力只听穿戴者。
今天的启动宣布是一个新的2500万美元的预赛A轮，加上当年早些时候来自轻速和南方公园共同公司等投资者的融资800万美元，使其总涨幅达到3300万美元。
尼尔瓦成立于2025年，由两位前Meta Reality Labs员工魏柳和杰森·陈与韩英胡一起创立时尚和珠宝品牌。
公司的第一个装置是吊顶，也可以佩戴为手镯。 器重仅8克左右，便于全天穿戴。 其电池单电荷可长达3天。
长期而言，尼尔瓦旨在释放更多的设备。
在与TechCrunch的通话中，Nirva CEOLYU 称表示公司希望建造一个与时尚融合的可穿戴设备，但也为用户提供了价值。
“这是首饰，我们不像一个录音机或会议记录接收器。 我们塔亚、沃奇或桑巴环之间的一个关键区别就是，我们总是被动地听你们自己的演讲。 因此，Lyu 称。
对于环境设备来说，隐私是一个大问题，因为人们可能不希望被一直记录下来。 此外，雷班Meta等装置也给周围戴着聪明眼镜的人带来了恐惧，他们也被录制下来。
尼尔瓦绕过这个问题，要求用户在登机时记录其语音片段，并在此基础上构建其模型。 在使用期间，设备过滤出从设备周围其他人那里获取的对话或数据。 这表示这只记录穿戴者。
此外，Nirva默认在处理对话后不会保存任何音频数据或录音记录。
Nirva将自己定位为个人的见识公司，而不是生产力的启动。 然而，它的应用显示你提醒或行动项目和对它们采取行动的方法。 Lyu 称，通过它的应用，启动者希望帮助用户在生活中以更好的方式为他人出现。
“我认为没有普遍的办法可以帮助每个人解决问题。 我们正在建立一个工具，帮助人们提高自我理解、自我同情和自我意识。”
包括图案、周围的人、他们去过的地方、以及其他每日的指出。 Lyu强调，应用程序显示用户对自己的情绪，沟通风格，以及他们可以改进的方法有深刻的见解。
Wyu举了一个事件的例子，当时她忘了感谢她母亲的东西，后来的应用程序用这个提醒她。
称公司在丢弃音频之前，能够追踪音调、音调、音量和速度
Nirva将于11月开始接受其设备的订单，目的是在年底前将其运往早期用户。 249元的器械将以银，刷银，黑，金两种形式提供。
启动在AI可穿戴区有竞争。 有些公司，如前Apple雇员的Taya，也正在建造智慧珠宝。 另外，像"朋友"和"蜜蜂"这样的初创企业也想成为同伴

Ambient AI is having a moment. Amazon launched a new wrist-worn device with Bee; a former Plaud exec launched ambient apps through a startup called Ambi, which aims to also build its own hardware; and Apple launched Voice Intelligence features during its iPhone launch in September. Now, a company called Nirva is betting on a jewelry-like pendant and its ability to listen only to the wearer.
The startup today announced a new $25 million pre-Series A round, adding to the $8 million it raised earlier in the year from investors like Lightspeed and South Park Commons, bringing its total raise to $33 million.
Nirva was founded in 2025 by two former Meta Reality Labs employees, Wei Lyu and Jason Chen, along with Hanying Hu, who founded a fashion and jewelry brand.
The company’s first device is a pendant, which can also be worn as a bracelet. The device weighs only around eight grams, making it easy to wear all day. Its battery lasts up to three days on a single charge.
Longer term, Nirva aims to release more devices.
In a call with TechCrunch, Nirva CEO Lyu said that the company wanted to build a wearable that blends in with fashion, but also provides value to users.
“This is a piece of jewelry that only focuses on listening to your own speech. We are not like a voice recorder or like a meeting note taker. One key difference between us, Taya, Vocci, or Sandbar Ring is that we’re always passively listening to your own speech. So it’s always on. It keeps modeling the user and modeling your mind,” Lyu said.
For ambient devices, privacy is a big question, as people might not like to be recorded all the time. Plus, devices like the Ray-Ban Meta have instilled fear in those who are around the person wearing the smart glasses that they are being recorded too.
Nirva gets around this problem by asking users to record snippets of their voice during onboarding and building its model based on that. During use, the device filters out conversations or data captured from the other people around the device. That means it’s only recording the wearer.
In addition, Nirva by default doesn’t keep any audio data or transcripts after processing the conversations.
Nirva is positioning itself as a personal insights company rather than a productivity startup. However, its app shows you reminders or action items and ways to act on them. Lyu said that through its app, the startup wants to help users show up for others in a better way in their lives.
“I think there’s no universal way to help everyone to solve their problems. We are building a tool to help people to improve their self-understanding, self-compassion, and self-awareness,” Lyu said.
The companion app parses users’ speech and creates insights that it infers are related to the user’s personality, including patterns, the people who tend to be around them, the places they’ve been to, and other daily notes. Lyu emphasized that the app shows users insights around their emotions, communication style, and ways they can improve.
Wyu gave an example of an incident when she forgot to thank her mother for something, and the app later nudged her with a reminder about this.
The company also said that, before it discards the audio, it’s able to track the tone, pitch, volume, and speed, which are useful for deriving emotion-related understandings that are then surfaced in the app.
Nirva will start taking orders for its devices in November, with an aim to ship them to early users by the end of the year. The $249 device will be available in silver, brushed silver, black, and gold.
The startup has competition in the AI wearables area. There are companies like former Apple employees’ Taya, which is also building intelligent jewelry. Plus, startups like Friend and Bee are trying to be companion gadgets as well.
