Xiaomi’s Miclaw is an AI agent for your phone that aims to automate everything

Xiaomi has announced its proprietary AI agent called Xiaomi miclaw for smartphones. It is currently in limited closed beta phase. The project is similar to OpenClaw, an open-source AI assistant that performs actions instead of just chatting on devices.

Xiaomi’s miclaw is said to be designed to transform smartphones into autonomous digital assistants capable of executing tasks across apps and system features. 

Xiaomi Miclaw is more than a voice assistant

Xiaomi miclaw is built on the company’s MiMo large language model. It enables the system to interpret user intentions and perform actions on a smartphone. The AI agent can interact with apps, system tools, and more once users grant the required permissions. It also integrates with Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem including connected home devices and vehicles.
