CUPERTINO, Calif, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambow Education Holding Ltd. ("Ambow" or the "Company") (NYSE American: AMBO), an AI-driven technology company delivering phygital intelligence solutions for education, enterprise collaboration and live events, today formally introduced HybriU as a Digital Intelligent Infrastructure, bringing ten products together across three integrated layers: Spatial Experience, AI Intelligence and Knowledge Intelligence.
HybriU connects physical spaces, digital systems, AI models, workflows and institutional knowledge within one extensible infrastructure. Rather than requiring institutions to assemble separate systems for classrooms, meetings, events, AI applications and knowledge management, HybriU provides a common architecture through which these environments can work together.
The platform is designed to work with existing cameras, microphones, displays, conferencing systems, learning platforms and enterprise applications, allowing institutions to add intelligence without replacing their existing technology infrastructure.
HybriU received federal trademark registration on July 28, 2026.
"HybriU represents the next stage of our Phygital strategy," said Dr. Jin Huang, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Ambow Education Holding Ltd. "Physical and digital environments generate enormous amounts of knowledge every day, but much of it disappears after a class, meeting or event ends. HybriU captures that activity, applies AI to understand it and turns it into knowledge that the institution can continue to use."
"The result is more than a collection of AI applications. It is an infrastructure that becomes more useful as institutional knowledge accumulates."
Three Intelligent Layers, Ten Integrated Products
HybriU organizes its products across three connected layers.
Spatial Experience Layer
The Spatial Experience Layer connects physical and digital environments and captures the interactions taking place within them.
It includes:
• HybriU Education: AI-powered classroom environments supporting teaching and learning;
• HybriU Conference: intelligent meetings with collaboration and knowledge capture;
• HybriU Event: interactive live-event environments;
• Collaboration Board: real-time visual collaboration across physical and remote participants;
• 3D Mobile Cart: mobile 3D content broadcasting, recording, visualization and presentation; and
• Knowledge Capture: converts multimodal interactions into transcripts, knowledge points, decisions, action items, searchable content and reusable media.
AI Intelligence Layer
The AI Intelligence Layer applies intelligence to the activity generated across those environments.
It includes:
• AdaptiveTeach: analyzes learning behavior, engagement and mastery to support real-time personalized learning and intervention; and
• WeSpeak: provides real-time multilingual transcription, translation, subtitles and native-language communication.
Knowledge Intelligence Layer
The Knowledge Intelligence Layer turns accumulated content, activity and expertise into knowledge that can be continuously used and expanded.
It includes:
• ProjectHub: connects projects, files, communications, meetings, tasks, decisions and workflows into a persistent project and institutional knowledge environment; and
• AI-Driven Adaptive Course Generator: transforms an institution's or professional's own materials, expertise and knowledge into personalized courses and learning experiences.
Together, these layers establish a continuous flow:
Physical + Digital Activity → AI Understanding → Knowledge Capture → Evolving RAG Knowledge Base → New Knowledge Services
From Institutional Data to Institutional Intelligence
A large share of the knowledge created inside organizations, including lectures, discussions, meetings, presentations, decisions, project activity and professional expertise, is never captured in a form that can be easily retrieved or reused.
HybriU is designed to change that.
Information generated through its Physical and AI Intelligence layers can become part of an institution-specific or professional-specific Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) knowledge base. As new content and interactions are added, that knowledge base can continue to grow and reflect the organization's own history, expertise and context.
The accumulated knowledge can then support applications such as adaptive training courses, institutional AI assistants and digital twins that reflect a professional's knowledge, expertise and communication style.
For an institution, this creates a knowledge environment built around its own people, programs, processes and experience. For an individual professional, it provides a way to preserve and extend expertise beyond individual meetings, classes or engagements.
Five Stages of Institutional Adoption
Ambow has established a five-stage adoption model for HybriU, allowing customers to begin with a specific use case and expand without requiring a large-scale technology replacement.
Stage One: Single-Space Deployment. A customer begins with a classroom, meeting room, event environment or individual HybriU product.
Stage Two: Multi-Space Expansion. Deployment expands across additional spaces, departments or locations.
Stage Three: AI Intelligence Activation. Capabilities such as adaptive learning, multilingual communication and other AI services are added across the environment.
Stage Four: Knowledge and System Integration. HybriU connects institutional content, workflows and existing enterprise systems into a broader knowledge environment.
Stage Five: Digital Intelligent Infrastructure. The institution develops an evolving knowledge infrastructure that can support AI-generated learning, intelligent assistants, digital twins, knowledge search and other services across the organization.
Each stage delivers value independently while adding data and context to the stages already deployed.
This creates a compounding model: as HybriU captures more of an institution's activity, its knowledge base becomes more complete; as that knowledge base becomes more complete, the services built on it become more relevant and valuable.
Why the Architecture Matters
A new infrastructure category. HybriU brings physical spaces, AI models, enterprise systems, workflows and institutional knowledge into one extensible architecture rather than requiring organizations to maintain separate systems for each.
Low-friction deployment. HybriU is designed to work with existing cameras, microphones, displays, conferencing platforms, lecture capture systems, learning management systems and enterprise applications. Institutions can add HybriU as an intelligence layer without replacing their existing infrastructure.
Activation of institutional data. HybriU captures knowledge that would otherwise be lost after classrooms, meetings, projects and events conclude and converts it into structured, searchable and reusable institutional assets.
Compounding institutional value. Each deployment contributes additional context and knowledge to the platform. As adoption expands, those assets become more connected and more useful, creating a path from an initial use case to a broader, multi-year institutional relationship.
"We designed HybriU so customers do not have to adopt everything at once," said James Bartholomew, President of Ambow Education Holding Ltd. "An institution may begin with a classroom, multilingual communication, collaboration or adaptive learning. Each deployment can stand on its own, but it can also become part of the same knowledge infrastructure as the relationship expands."
"For partners and investors, that is an important distinction. HybriU is not simply a portfolio of ten products. The products create multiple entry points into a common infrastructure where usage generates knowledge, and that knowledge supports additional services over time."
HybriU is deployed in multiple institutional environments including NewSchool of Architecture & Design, Ambow's wholly owned subsidiary in downtown San Diego.
