One UI 9.5 might turn Bixby into an AI agent that handles your daily tasks

While One UI 9.0 didn't turn out to be a huge upgrade over One UI 8.5, it appears that One UI 9.5 will bring major improvements. After recently revealing that Samsung is working on a new app called Memory, we have discovered that the company is planning a major upgrade to Bixby, which could soon act as your personal AI agent.

After exploring an upcoming version of Bixby, we discovered that Samsung's in-house voice assistant can now handle daily tasks for you in the background. For example, it can book a hotel room, schedule an appointment, and more. When we asked it to report the USD-to-INR exchange rate every morning, it set up a recurring task that appears directly in the Actions section of the Bixby app.

Once you submit a request for a recurring task, Bixby interprets the prompt, configures the necessary action, and waits for your confirmation. After you approve it, the task becomes visible in the Actions section, accessible via the app's left sidebar.

From there, you can delete, pause, or pin designated tasks. You can also view an activity log to track how each task is processed daily, or quickly jump back to the original chat thread where the action was first requested.

Samsung is testing this feature internally, and it could debut with the Galaxy S27 series early next year. Whether or not it is released to existing Galaxy phones remains to be seen.
