The new development revealed by the test
According to what was reported by Sammobile and relayed by IT之家, the next version of Samsung's interface, One UI 9.5, would include a far-reaching update to Bixby. The stated goal is to evolve the voice assistant from a simple responder into a so-called personal AI agent, capable of completing tasks on the user's behalf instead of merely providing information.
During testing of the unreleased version, the specialist outlet reportedly observed Bixby performing everyday tasks in the background, such as hotel bookings and appointments. One example cited concerns a request to receive the dollar-to-Indian-rupee exchange rate every morning: the assistant reportedly automatically created a daily task, which was then listed in the app's Actions section.
How scheduled actions work
The mechanism described requires the user to formulate a recurring request and Bixby to interpret the instruction by setting up the corresponding operation. User confirmation is required before execution; only after approval does the task appear in the Actions section, accessible from the app's left sidebar.
Within this section, controls would be available to delete, pause, or pin tasks to the top. An activity log would also make it possible to check execution day by day, with the ability to trace back to the conversation in which the order was given. These are functional elements that, if confirmed, mark a step toward structured management of delegations to the assistant, with the user called upon to approve and supervise the operations.
Timing and unknowns
According to IT之家's account, Samsung is conducting internal tests of this feature. The indicated hypothesis is a debut early next year alongside the Galaxy S27 series. It has not been established, however, whether Galaxy devices already on the market will be able to receive the new feature via a software update.
The picture therefore remains partial: the information comes from an external test of an unreleased version, not from an official company communication. No details are known about geographic restrictions, supported languages, the types of bookings that can be handled, or guarantees regarding data processing. Before considering Bixby an operational AI agent, it will be necessary to verify the official announcement, actual availability, and terms of use.
