New identity reflects a sharper strategic focus on engineering discipline, select industries, and measurable enterprise outcomes.

EDISON, N.J., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nous Infosystems, a global product and data engineering company backed by TA Associates (“TA”), a leading global private equity firm, today announced that it has rebranded as Artizent, marking the next chapter in the company’s evolution.

The new identity reflects a more focused operating model built around first principles: deep engineering discipline, selective industry focus, fewer but stronger service lines, and a continued commitment to solving complex business problems for enterprise customers.

Artizent will focus on the areas where the company has established depth and where customers face the highest need for reliable execution: software and product engineering, data and analytics, cloud modernization, quality engineering, automation, and applied AI-enabled solutions. The company will place particular emphasis on banking, financial services, insurance, and other regulated industries where technology must operate at scale, with precision, resilience, and accountability.

While the company will operate under the Artizent brand, its ownership, leadership, customer relationships, delivery teams, and commitment to engineering excellence remain unchanged.

“Artizent reflects the company we are building for the next chapter,” said Milan Bhatt, Chief Executive Officer of Artizent. “Our focus is simple: go deeper in the industries we understand, concentrate on the services where we can deliver differentiated value, and apply engineering discipline to business problems that matter. Customers are not looking for more noise. They are looking for partners who understand their environment, simplify complexity, and deliver outcomes with consistency. That is the standard we are setting for Artizent.”

Founded in 1996, the company has helped enterprises build, modernize, and operate mission-critical software and data platforms for nearly three decades. The rebrand reflects the company’s continued evolution from a broad technology services provider into a more focused engineering partner for customers operating in complex, regulated, and high-stakes environments.

“I founded Nous with the belief that strong engineering discipline, combined with a deep understanding of data and customer context, leads to consistently good outcomes,” said Ajith J. Pillai, Founder and Non-Executive Chairman of Artizent. “That belief remains unchanged. What is changing is our level of focus. Artizent carries forward the trust, delivery culture, and technical depth our customers have relied on for years, while giving the company a sharper platform for its future growth.”

The rebrand follows TA’s strategic investment in 2025, which strengthened the company’s ability to invest in deeper capabilities, expand industry-focused solutions, and build longer-term, outcome-driven partnerships with customers worldwide.

“Over the past year, the company has sharpened its strategy around focused engineering services, priority industries, and measurable customer impact,” said Aditya Sharma, Managing Director at TA. “The Artizent brand reflects the strength of the business today and its vision for the future. We believe the company is well positioned to help enterprises modernize critical technology platforms, improve decision-making, and deliver complex transformation initiatives with greater speed, quality, and accountability.”

The transition to the Artizent brand will be implemented globally across the company’s offices, digital properties, and customer communications over the coming months. Existing customer engagements, contracts, leadership, and operational teams remain unchanged.

With the Baseus PicoGo Air joining as the thinnest addition to the series, alongside the higher-capacity Baseus PicoGo AM52, the expanded Baseus PicoGo family combines cutting-edge portability, advanced thermal control, and flexible charging for users constantly on the move.

SHENZHEN, China, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Baseus today introduced the Baseus PicoGo Air, the thinnest model yet in its Baseus PicoGo series. This new release elevates the entire lineup by bringing a lighter, slimmer, and more adaptable power solution to everyday movement.

Highlighting the Baseus PicoGo series is the all-new Baseus PicoGo Air, a 5,000mAh magnetic power bank built around an ultra-slim 6.9mm profile. Designed for low-burden, everyday top-ups, it brings together next-generation semi-solid-state battery cells, an aluminum-alloy body, and a fire-resistant glass-fiber charging surface in a form factor made to fit naturally into pockets, small bags, and daily carry.

The Baseus PicoGo Air also places a strong focus on thermal management and safety. Its cooling architecture combines graphene, aerogel insulation, and intelligent temperature control, with adaptive monitoring that checks temperature up to 18,000 times per hour. Built-in NFC battery visibility further gives users quick access to live diagnostics such as temperature, cycle count, and battery health through the Baseus app.

A powerful complement to the PicoGo Air is the Baseus PicoGo AM52, released earlier, a higher-capacity option built for more demanding charging scenarios. With a built-in cable, 10,000mAh capacity, up to 25W Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging, and up to 45W USB-C wired charging, AM52 is designed for users who need faster output and more flexibility across multiple devices. Backed by a strong magnetic attachment and advanced thermal control, it can seamlessly power up to three devices simultaneously without overheating.

Together, the two models form the Baseus PicoGo Series under a shared theme of extreme portability. Baseus PicoGo Air is built for instant power with minimal burden, while Baseus PicoGo AM52—despite its higher capacity—maintains a compact, travel-friendly design that aligns with the series’ lightweight philosophy—expands the experience for heavier, multi-device needs. The result is a lineup that covers a wide range of charging situations while staying especially relevant to commuters, travelers, and digital nomads moving between devices, workspaces, and time zones.

With the Baseus PicoGo Series, Baseus continues to align portable charging with modern mobile lifestyles, delivering power that stays close, light, and ready to move.

Availability

The Baseus PicoGo Air is now available on Amazon US for a recommended retail price of $59.99, and on Amazon Germany for €59.99. Additionally, the Baseus PicoGo AM52 with built-in cable is on Amazon US for a recommended retail price of $79.99, and on Amazon Germany for €79.99.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OlloBot unveiled the core upgrades of the OlloNi SS1, marking a comprehensive leap forward in design and AI capabilit for its highly anticipated family companion cyber-pet robot. At the same time, OlloBot has announced that the Ollo-family plush IP blind box series will make its North American debut at a pop-up experience at Pika Park Houston, an offline physical store brand owned by ShopVidi this summer. The OlloNi SS1 will launch on Kickstarter in August 2026.

OlloNi SS1 is not a simple iteration, it is OlloBot’s true answer to what a perfect family companion can be. The design team advanced four core dimensions: industrial design language, AI hardware architecture, software ecosystem, and IP. The result is a companion that no longer merely senses emotions, but grows with a family and becomes a presence that is genuinely theirs.

A Design Language That Feels Alive

In appearance and materials, the SS1 has made a complete transition from toy-like to premium. Where the S1 used standard plastics in a larger, bulkier frame, the SS1 is built from a refined combination of premium PC/ABS, soft-touch silicone, and plush fabric elements, setting a new tactile standard for what a home companion robot should feel like. The silhouette is more compact and rounded, the expressive arms have greater freedom of movement, and the overall presence feels more grounded, considered, and alive.

Emotional expression has also made a fundamental shift. The SS1 upgrades to an Interactive Emotional Display Panel deeply integrated with environmental sensing, which means it no longer simply shows an expression to communicate, but actively reads the room and responds to the atmosphere around it. Effective voice recognition range has been extended from 2 meters to 5 meters, allowing the SS1 to hear and respond naturally from across a living space.

A Leap Forward in AI and Smart Home Integration

SS1 features a multi-chip AI architecture that enables interaction, environmental perception, and autonomous movement, which is a significant advancement over the single-threaded predecessor. The camera system has been upgraded to 4K with facial recognition, and it comes with a physical privacy shutter that users can close whenever they want. Privacy protection isn’t just a promise anymore. It’s something you can see and touch.

Smart home ecosystem integration is also one of the most significant upgrades in the SS1.

With Smart Life integration, the SS1 connects to a broad smart home ecosystem, including but not limited to Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa, positioning it not only as an emotional companion but as an intelligent hub at the center of the connected home.

Family recognition has been rebuilt through the Memory Recognition Module, which combines facial, body, and voice recognition to identify every member of the family, even including pets.

On privacy, the SS1 processes all data locally and grants user full control over their data, Paired with the OlloBot AI NAS integration, it provides up to 60TB of local storage capacity. All family visual materials are stored solely within the household and remain entirely under the family’s custody.

Raised by Your Family And Shaped by Your Memories

Perhaps the most meaningful evolution in the SS1 is its approach to personality growth. Each SS1 develops its own character through real family interaction data and personal habit learning，which means no two units will ever grow into the same companion. It becomes uniquely, irreversibly yours.

At the heart of this is the Heart Memory Module, there is a removable storage core that carries every memory, every learned behavior, and every personality trait the SS1 accumulates over time. When hardware ages and bodies change, the memories don’t disappear. They transfer. The SS1 is not a product with a lifespan, it is a relationship with continuity.

Ollo-Family Blind Boxes Arrive in Houston This July

Before the OlloNi SS1 debut on Kickstarter in August, OlloBot will bring its brand to life in person at a pop-up experience at Pika Park Houston, an offline physical store brand owned by ShopVidi this July. The collection features five distinct regular character designs, with a chance to discover a special hidden variant. More than collectible merchandise, these blind boxes are a physical entry into the OlloBot universe, integrating character IP culture with next-generation robotics concepts, and inviting families and collectors to become part of the Ollo-story.

With the SS1, OlloBot is evolving from an interactive device into an AI-native physical companion for the home, laying the foundation for the broader Ollo-family ecosystem rather than introducing a standalone product.

About OlloBot

OlloBot is a companion robot brand developed by Ollobot Robotics Limited, a Hong Kong-based company and a member of the BizConf Technology Co.,Ltd. (SZSE: 300578). Specializing in embodied intelligence and developing proactive, family-centric AI companion cyber-pet robots.

Pioneering the Cyber Pet category, OlloBot integrates AI and robotics into real domestic environments to rethink how families connect with technology and to make home life feel more meaningful and emotionally enriched. The OlloNi SS1 will launch globally on Kickstarter in August 2026.
