Honor’s New AI Agent Can Read and Understand Your Screen


The Honor UI Agent—powered by Google's Gemini 2 model—gives us a glimpse of artificial intelligent agents on Android.

This long-term plan, envisioned by the Chinese company's new CEO Jian Li, is lofty and largely corporate-speak, comprised of goals like “creating an intelligent phone" and “open human potential boundaries and co-create a new paradigm for civilization.” What it really highlights is Honor's quick pivot into prioritizing AI development for its suite of personal technology devices. Instead of having to train the assistant to learn every single part of the OpenTable app, it is capable of understanding the semantic elements of the user interface and will follow-through with a multi-step process to execute your request. Honor highlighted that this process was more cost effective: “Unlike competitors such as Apple, Samsung, and Google, which rely on external APIs—resulting in higher operational costs—Honor's AI Agent independently manages a wide range of tasks."
