It is interesting to see AI agents on phones and they will be available for users in China for now, with other companies like Google and OpenAI expected to charge up their AI models with such abilities. Mobile phones are the go-to devices for AI tasks on the move, and bringing AI agents to work across the handheld device makes a lot of sense.
