Bixby may soon move beyond setting alarms, changing phone settings and answering short voice commands. A new report suggests Samsung is testing a larger upgrade for One UI 9.5 that could make Bixby work more like a personal AI agent.

Instead of opening several apps and repeating the same actions every day, users could give Bixby one instruction and let it handle the work in the background. Samsung has not announced this feature officially, so the details should be treated as an early report rather than a confirmed rollout plan.

What could change with Bixby in One UI 9.5

According to SamMobile, an upcoming version of Bixby has an Actions section for tasks that can run again and again. A user can type or speak a request, review the action Bixby creates and approve it before it begins.

For example, someone could ask Bixby to show the USD to INR exchange rate every morning. Instead of asking the same question daily, Bixby could set up a recurring task and deliver the update automatically.

The report also suggests that Bixby could help with hotel bookings, appointment scheduling and similar multi-step tasks. This would make it different from a basic voice assistant, which usually completes one command at a time.

How Bixby AI agent may work

The reported system is built around user control. After Bixby understands a request, it prepares an action and waits for approval. Once approved, the task appears in the Actions section inside the Bixby app.

Users may be able to pause, pin or delete an action whenever they want. There is also said to be an activity log, which would let users check what happened during each task. That is important because AI agents can make mistakes, especially when dealing with appointments, shopping or information that changes quickly.

Think of it like setting up a helpful digital assistant. You could ask it to remind you about a bill every month, prepare a short daily briefing or monitor a recurring task. But you would still need to check the details before relying on it for important work.

How this could help Galaxy users

For students, Bixby could help organize reminders for classes, exams and project deadlines. For working professionals, it could help track meetings, send reminder prompts and create a regular information summary.

It may also be useful for people who find phone menus confusing. Instead of searching through several settings, a user could simply say what they need in everyday language.

Samsung already offers an AI assistant activity feature in One UI 9 for certain Galaxy devices. According to Samsung India, it provides a central record of agent-style tasks performed through Gemini. A stronger Bixby could bring similar convenience more deeply into Samsung’s own software.

Bixby AI agent rivals

Google Gemini is likely to be Bixby’s closest competitor on Galaxy phones. Samsung users can already use Gemini for selected tasks, and it has a wider presence across Android devices.

Apple’s Siri and Apple Intelligence are also competing in the personal-assistant space, while Meta Muse is pushing the idea of an AI agent that can handle larger online tasks. Bixby’s advantage could be its tighter connection with Samsung apps, Galaxy phones, SmartThings devices and system settings.

Still, the success of an AI agent will depend on accuracy. A useful assistant must understand instructions properly, request approval for sensitive steps and make it easy to stop or change an action.
