OPPO announced yesterday a partnership with the AI agent platform Manus to integrate Manus's agent capabilities into OPPO AI Mind Pilot, upgrading phone AI from Q&A interaction to multi-step task execution. The feature will debut on OPPO Find X10 series phones preloaded with ColorOS17, further implementing OPPO's "personalized proactive intelligence" strategy.
According to the introduction, the new agent mode of AI Mind Pilot can understand user goals, break complex tasks into multiple execution steps, and generate directly usable results by retrieving information, invoking tools and other means, while also supporting the processing of local files and photos on the phone. For example, when planning a trip, the AI can consolidate flight, hotel, restaurant reservation and attraction ticket information scattered across different apps and generate a personalized itinerary combining web materials; in office and creative scenarios, it can also organize photos and summarize local files and web information to generate presentations, proposals and portfolios.
Tang Kai, President of OPPO Software Engineering, said the partnership aims to enhance AI Mind Pilot's ability to understand user intent, perform operations and complete tasks. Zhang Tao, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Manus, believes that smartphones are an important operating platform for personal AI agents, and system-level integration helps lower the barrier to using advanced agents.
On privacy protection, OPPO said that ColorOS17 processes local information with on-device models, and the original content of tasks such as finding, organizing and renaming files and photos will not be shared with Manus. When cloud processing is involved, the system will obtain the user's explicit permission in advance. This partnership reflects the trend of phone makers integrating AI agents into operating systems and pushing AI from information assistance to actual task execution.
