Xiaomi Testing Experimental AI Agent Miclaw Can Perform Complex Tasks Across Devices

Friday, Xiaomi announced a new artificial intelligence (AI) agent called miclaw for its smartphones and smart home devices. A limited closed beta phase of the agentic AI assistant has now been entered, and the company is testing how the agent performs in real-world applications. It is designed to be a device-wide assistant that can self complete tasks across third-party apps and system features, the Chinese tech giant said. So far there is no word when the Xiaomi miclaw will be added to devices.

Xiaomi Miclaw Enters Beta Testing

The tech giant announced in a post (via Xiaomitime) that the start of ‘limited closed beta testing’ for China was beginning in an early phase, which is being tested by s. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra (and the Xiaomi 17, Pro models) are currently under invitation-only test. The company says miclaw is “the evolution of AI systems from “dialogue capabilities” to “system-level execution capabilities”. Paraphrast.

This artificial intelligence agent is based on the Xiaomi MiMo AI models and has personal context understanding, ecosystem interconnectivity (and ability to perform multi-step workflows) built on. Despite its chatbot-like interface, it does not answer questions but rather performs tasks. When permissions are granted to the user, it can also use third-party apps to perform actions within them based on natural language text and voice prompts.

When you know what you want and authorisation is granted, it can call on third-party apps and ecosystem capabilities; also autonomously choose system-level tools to complete your commands.’ The company said the company added ‘It has a statement that says its own systems are not available for use at all. Moreover, miclaw can recognize the user, remember their preferences and interpret a vague task to complete the operation.

The agentic AI assistant can continuously evolve and better understand the user, with a dedicated memory system that allows them to interact with the tool. However, Xiaomi says that eventually it is able to make intelligent decisions by itself (muting the phone during a meeting or pausing in ‘the robot vacuum’) “It can do so autonomously.”

Some of the work Xiaomi miclaw can do include reading and writing SMS, making and scheduling events in Calendar, searching and extracting information online, and more. It can also make purchases online, calculate commute time and check the weather – and even more. integrating with Xiaomi’s smart home devices, it can also control many appliances and automatically adjust settings.
