Jio is partnering with leading app makers to make them available on JioPC, along with a wide variety of AI tools that look to boost productivity and creativity. The device comes with a monthly subscription offer so that users do not need to handle the repairs or maintenance of the JioPC. There are other advanced plans available on the Jio website to give you more memory, storage and other benefits. 

“Today, we are proud to announce another leap forward – JioPC. JioPC is that revolutionary product that transforms your TV, or any other screen, into a full-feature, AI‑ready computer. You can easily get started by connecting a keyboard into your Jio Set-Top Box. Instantly, you get a virtual computer powered from Jio’s cloud with no upfront investment. You simply pay for what you use. And because JioPC lives in the cloud, it is always up-to-date, secure and you can remotely upgrade your memory, storage, and computing power based on your growing needs,” Ambani said at Reliance Industries’ (RIL) annual general meeting.

How does JioPC work?

The first step to using the JioPC is to connect the keyboard to your Jio Set-Top Box, which triggers the virtual computer powered by the Jio Cloud, so that users do not need to invest in a separate platform. JioPC operates on the cloud, which keeps it secure with up-to-date software solutions. You just need a TV or a big screen, an active Jio Set-Top Box with connection, a keyboard-mouse combo and a JioPC plan, which comes with a zero activation fee as an introductory offer. 

What is JioFrames?

The Ambani scion also announced JioFrames, an AI-powered wearable platform and ecosystem made for India.

With support for multiple Indian languages, one can simply speak to Jio’s multilingual AI voice assistant, which is a hands-free, AI-powered companion designed for the way India lives, works, and plays.

“With JioFrames, you can capture your world like never before. Take HD photos, record videos or go live – every memory is instantly stored in Jio AI Cloud,” he said.

Akash Ambani said  Jio’s journey will progress beyond India.

"Our innovative technologies will now be deployed globally, ready to solve global challenges. With strategic partnerships and a clear roadmap, we will take Jio’s services to the rest of the world, creating value for partners and shareholders alike. Behind every achievement of Jio is a mission – to serve customers from the heart, to connect the unconnected, and to uplift every citizen. As we move forward, Jio remains committed to ensure that our technology empowers all of you,” he said.
