Samsung to Upgrade Bixby: New AI Features Coming in One UI 9.5

Bixby moves to the next level

While the tech world eagerly awaits the release of One UI 10, which promises large-scale interface changes, Samsung has decided to delight users sooner. The company is actively working on One UI 9.5, which will place a significant focus on artificial intelligence (AI). The primary goal of this update is to transform Bixby from a standard voice assistant into a fully-fledged, independent AI assistant.

Automating daily tasks

The main advantage of the new functionality will be the execution of routine daily tasks in the background. The system will allow users to schedule specific tasks that Bixby will perform automatically. For example, the assistant will be able to provide information on currency exchange rates every morning, helping users save time.

The process will be simple and flexible: after setting a task, Bixby will ask the user for confirmation, after which the information will appear in a special 'Actions' menu within the application. Here, users will be able to manage tasks: pinning, deleting, or temporarily pausing them. Additionally, an activity log will be added, detailing every completed operation. This will allow you to return to the original dialogue or context in which the task was created if necessary.

When will we see the update?

Currently, these features are in the company's internal testing phase. It is expected that these updated Bixby capabilities will debut alongside the Galaxy S27 series smartphones. This move by Samsung once again highlights the company's commitment to strengthening its ecosystem through artificial intelligence.

For users of Samsung devices, this update means a more personalised and efficient experience. Although support for the Georgian language remains a challenge for Bixby, the increased automation capabilities will make smartphone usage much more comfortable, which will ultimately have a positive impact on user productivity.
