Samsung is reportedly testing new “AI agent” style capabilities for its Bixby assistant as part of the upcoming One UI 9.5 update. Multiple outlets say the feature could allow Bixby to handle everyday requests and perform background actions rather than only responding to prompts.
The reporting centers on a rumored feature name, “Bixby Work,” described as being designed to run tasks in the background. Suggested examples include booking hotel rooms, scheduling appointments, and setting up recurring tasks, with one outlet also linking the rollout to early next year and a specific phone line.
Beyond Bixby, at least one source also mentions possible non-assistant changes within One UI 9.5, such as visual upgrades to Samsung Notes and additional capabilities for the stock Voice Recorder app. While the outlets align on the general theme of AI-agent upgrades for Bixby, they vary on the amount of detail they provide and which app features they highlight alongside it.
