JioFrames to make market debut in the next few months, RIL executive says

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries on Friday revealed that its AI-powered smart wearable device, JioFrames, will enter the mainstream market within the next few months, expanding the company’s digital ecosystem.

The announcement came during RIL’s Q2FY26 results briefing, building on the product first unveiled at Reliance’s 48th Annual General Meeting in August.

JioFrames is designed as a hands-free, AI-powered companion tailored for India, supporting multiple Indian languages through Jio’s multilingual AI voice assistant. The wearable allows users to capture HD photos, record videos, go live, and instantly store content on the Jio AI Cloud.

“At home or on the move, JioFrames goes beyond capturing moments,” Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani had said during the AGM. “Reading a book? Just ask for a summary or explanation. Cooking a new dish? Get step-by-step guidance while your hands are busy. Travelling to a new city? Instantly learn about the landmarks around you.”

The device also brings smart assistance to everyday life, offering book summaries, cooking guidance, travel information, and hands-free communication features such as calls, meetings, and music or podcast streaming. Its built-in open-ear speakers allow users to stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying clear audio.

JioFrames is positioned as a wearable that brings AI capabilities directly in front of users’ eyes, expanding beyond smartphones to become an integral part of daily life, work, and entertainment.

RIL reported a 10% year-on-year growth in its consolidated Q2FY26 net profit at Rs 18,165 crore, up from Rs 16,563 crore in the year-ago period. The profit after tax (PAT) is attributable to the owners of the company.
