IT Home On October 14, OPPO announced a partnership with the AI agent platform Manus, which will bring next-generation intelligent artificial experience to its smartphones. This collaboration will integrate Manus’s agent capabilities into OPPO’s AI Mind Pilot, helping users convert complex multi-step tasks into actionable results directly, and further advancing OPPO’s vision of “personalized active intelligence” — allowing artificial intelligence to understand users and actively assist them in completing tasks.
OPPO President of Software Engineering, Tang Kai, said: “AI agents represent a major shift, moving from simply answering questions to helping users complete tasks. By working with Manus, we bring a more proactive and capable experience to AI Mind Pilot, enabling AI to better understand user intentions, perform actions, and complete tasks. Our goal is to make personal AI naturally integrate into daily work and life.”
Zhang Tao, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Manus, said: “Smartphones are the core tools in people’s daily lives. They handle a large number of everyday tasks, making them naturally suitable as the operating platform for personal AI agents. By combining Manus’ agent capabilities with OPPO’s system-level integration capabilities, we can make advanced AI agents more practical to implement. Users can complete multi-step tasks through simple and natural interactions.”
According to IT Home, the implementation method of the collaboration between the two parties is to integrate the capabilities of the Manus AI into the new AI Mind Pilot mode. This feature will be first introduced on the OPPO Find X10 series of phones that are set to launch with the ColorOS 17 system. This function is no longer limited to simple Q&A interactions. AI Mind Pilot can understand the user’s ultimate goal, break it down into multiple steps, retrieve relevant information, select appropriate tools, and produce complete results. It can also directly process files and photos stored on the device.
For example, when a user plans a trip, they just need to let AI Mind Pilot organize the travel itinerary. It will extract scattered information such as flight tickets, hotel reservations, restaurant bookings, and attraction tickets from various apps on their phone, organize it all together, and combine it with relevant online data to generate a personalized daily schedule, without the user having to manually collect and upload information.
This capability is also applicable in daily creation and office scenarios. The user only needs a single instruction, and AI Mind Pilot can search and organize travel photos, locate specific images, or integrate local files and online materials to generate ready-to-use content such as presentations, plans, and portfolios.
OPPO says that ColorOS 17 uses a on-device model, where the relevant information is processed and organized on the device itself. Local tasks such as searching for, organizing, and renaming files and photos keep the original content on the device and are not shared with Manus. When a task requires cloud processing, AI Mind Pilot obtains explicit user permission before uploading or sharing the related content. “Users can have full control over the information that can be accessed, the actions they can perform, and whether external processing is allowed.” By relying on edge computing and a transparent authorization mechanism, OPPO and Manus hope to enhance the capabilities of AI agents while always safeguarding users’ rights to choice and control.
The AI Mind Pilot feature, supported by the capabilities provided by Manus, will be launched on the OPPO Find X10 series phones equipped with ColorOS 17.
