Samsung is upgrading its Bixby assistant with AI Agent capabilities in development for One UI 9.5. A Sam Mobile report indicates users may soon create "actions" for automated tasks, such as receiving daily USD to INR exchange rates. These actions include delete, pause, and pin controls, with a suspected action log for history.
While still in early testing, speculation suggests Bixby could eventually book hotels and perform complex errands, possibly rolling out by 2027. Earlier this year, MX business COO Won-Joon Choi revealed plans for "more natural interactions" and intuitive device control, allowing users to describe tasks without technical knowledge. Bixby also gained improved web search capabilities for live information on hotels and restaurants.
These upgrades position Bixby closer to Google's Gemini, though the full scope of its agentic potential remains to be seen as Samsung continues development.
