Honor's Yoyo has been existing for some time, but a new AI-powered upgrade will give it a big boost over other digital assistants.
In this age where AI is one of the leading innovations that dictate the world, it's important for a tech firm to catch up with the trend.
The Chinese smartphone maker hopes that this revamped AI technology will help more users achieve a more personalized experience with their devices.
According to CNBC, Honor has been in Honor's software lineup for a while now but the integration of AI capabilities has revived its existence. Also known as the Honor AI Agent, the new version of the assistant will fundamentally change people's experience of using smartphones. Honor also explained that this new edition will be first launched in China with the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Before the official statement, Honor published a show in which they proved that Yoyo can help in everyday life due to its AI. For example, a user could raise his voice and order Yoyo to search for automatic subscriptions in frequently used payment apps, such as WeChat and Alipay. Yoyo not only subscribed for the active ones but also will notify the user to unsubscribe for any non preferred ones at ease.

The smartphone industry has recently come across an entirely new form of techniques recognized as AI agents for making digital conversations effective and smooth. These pacemakers in learning the users' habits can make recommendations, adjust the settings, and improve the designs over time.
The new generation of virtual assistants differs from the previous ones using emerging technologies such as LLMs, which entered the market together with ChatGPT.
Although it is noteworthy to specify that existing virtual assistants which include Apple's Siri or Samsung's Bixby existed for quite some time now, their functionality has been limited frequently. However, with current rates of AI development, organizations are hoping to put these assistants or bots into smarter and far more reactive models. The above alterations enable the AI to be capable of solving important tasks and engaging in a conversation of a higher level.
Intense competition is however noticed by Honor's competitors who are not relenting in their innovation and development for better products in the market. Samsung's next update to Bixby is expected this year where Samsung's own large language model is set to power the virtual assistant.
Likewise, Apple is anticipated to launch Apple Intelligence which will come with a new and enhanced model of Siri. Nonetheless, it is important to note that China will not get Apple's AI developments this year.
With the upgraded Yoyo AI agent, Honor is aware that the competition should not be underestimated in and out of China. By doing this, the company expects to capture a significant market share for users who love to integrate AI with every electronic gadget in their homes.
In other news, GSM Arena reports that Honor confirms release of Snapdragon X Elite-equipped Magic Book Art 14.
