One UI 9.5 appears set to bring major upgrades, including a significant evolution of Bixby that could let the assistant handle daily tasks in the background. An exploration of an upcoming Bixby build shows the assistant can create and run recurring actions—such as booking a hotel room, scheduling an appointment or reporting the USD-to-INR exchange rate every morning—without repeated prompts.
Bixby as an AI agent
The inspected build demonstrates that, after receiving a request for a recurring task, Bixby interprets the prompt, configures the necessary action and then waits for user confirmation. Once approved, the task is added to an Actions section inside the Bixby app, making it visible and manageable from the app’s left sidebar.
Users can manage those tasks directly from the Actions list: tasks can be deleted, paused or pinned. The app also provides an activity log that shows how each task is processed on a daily basis, and it allows quick navigation back to the original chat thread where the action was first requested.
These Bixby improvements are part of a broader set of changes hinted for One UI 9.5. Samsung is also reported to be working on a new app called Memory, and the company’s upcoming software update follows One UI 9.0, which was not considered a major leap over One UI 8.5. The new Bixby capabilities could soon let the assistant act more like a personal AI agent, handling routine tasks with less direct input from the user.
