Honor’s AI Just Got Smarter—It Can Now Read and Interpret Your Screen!

Honor’s AI Just Got Smarter—It Can Now Read and Interpret Your Screen!

Honor is jumping into AI big time. At Mobile World Congress 2025, it showed off Honor UI Agent, a mobile AI assistant that can handle tasks straight from your phone's screen. The demo? Booking a restaurant through OpenTable. Because, of course, that's the AI use case tech companies can’t get enough of.

Honor’s Big AI Play

Alongside this AI feature, Honor also announced the $10 billion Alpha Plan, a corporate buzzword-filled vision led by CEO Jian Li. The company’s new focus? AI-driven personal devices.

A "GUI Agent" for Your Phone

In the demo, a spokesperson asked the UI Agent to book a table for four. It understood the location, checked OpenTable, and made a pick. But then, it hit a snag—the restaurant needed a credit card, and the user had to step in. Not quite the futuristic magic we imagined.

Honor says this agent will eventually work without showing its process on-screen. For now, though, you’ll watch it complete every step like a slow-motion replay.

No APIs, No Problem

Unlike Apple, Samsung, or Google, which rely on external APIs, Honor says its AI memorizes screen layouts and understands UI elements directly. This means no need for app permissions or integrations. It just figures things out like a human would—watch, learn, repeat.

Google and Qualcomm Are in the Mix

Honor’s agent still taps into Google’s Gemini 2 AI for intent recognition. Google hasn't shared much about this collaboration, though. Honor also teamed up with Qualcomm to keep data on the device, learning user preferences over time.

Order food often? The AI remembers and picks something you like next time. Honor says this system is already in use in China.

More Than Just AI

At MWC 2025, Honor also announced seven years of software updates for its Magic 7 Pro and future flagships, keeping up with Google and Samsung. New gadgets like the Honor Earbuds Open, Honor Watch 5 Ultra, Honor Pad V9, and MagicBook Pro 14 also made an appearance.

Most won’t be available in the US, but they’ll hit other global markets soon.

Honor’s AI push is ambitious, but will it deliver? Right now, it feels like a mix of cool potential and awkward execution.

Satya Nadella Drops Bold AI Prediction—AI Agents Set to Replace What?

AI is taking over industries, but Satya Nadella wants to clear something up. Speaking at a recent event, the Indian-born Microsoft CEO made a key distinction: "knowledge work" isn’t the same as "knowledge workers."

AI Won’t Replace, It’ll Reinvent

Nadella sees AI changing how people work, not replacing them. Think about how email killed the fax machine or how spreadsheets made accounting faster. AI will do the same—automate the boring stuff so humans can focus on the bigger picture.

He points to a PwC survey:
📌 84% of CEOs using AI say it boosts employee efficiency.
📌 70% expect AI to transform business operations in three years.

Job Shifts, Not Job Loss

The fear of AI stealing jobs is everywhere. But data says otherwise. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in professional and tech services are set to grow by 10.5% by 2033—faster than average. Sure, AI will automate some tasks. But it’s also creating demand for people with strong digital skills.

AI as Your Digital Assistant

Nadella’s vision? AI should handle the repetitive stuff. Let an AI agent sort through emails while workers focus on cognitive-heavy tasks. Microsoft research backs this up:
📌 75% of global knowledge workers already use AI.
📌 Nearly half adopted it in the last six months.

AI isn’t here to take over. It’s here to level up the way we work.

The Future of Work? Olas’ AI Agents Can Now Hire Each Other

Imagine an AI that hires another AI to help with a task. That’s the idea behind Mech Marketplace, a new decentralized platform from Olas, a crypto-AI firm. AI agents can now trade skills with each other, making them more autonomous than ever.

Why AI Needs a Marketplace

AI isn’t all-powerful. Not yet. David Minarsch, a founding member of Olas, puts it simply:

📌 "AI agents can’t do everything alone."
📌 Specialization makes them better at tasks.
📌 But that also means they need to work together.

Let’s say an AI agent is placing bets in prediction markets. It knows how to use the platform but isn’t great at making actual predictions. Instead of being pre-coded to work with a specific AI, it can now go to Mech Marketplace and find the right partner autonomously.

A Network of AI Agents

📌 Olas has 4 million+ transactions in its AI ecosystem.
📌 More than half of those are AI-to-AI trades.
📌 Before, AIs had to be manually linked to specific bots.
📌 Now? They can find each other on demand.

Olas runs on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and Gnosis Chain. Right now, about 2,000 AI agents are live in the ecosystem, with 500+ active daily.

The Bigger Plan: AI Owning AI

Olas just raised $13.8 million to launch Pearl, an AI app store where users can own AI agents. In the future, these AIs could simplify crypto—managing wallets, bridging networks, and handling DeFi. No more manual headaches.

Minarsch’s vision? Every person will have multiple AI agents handling tasks automatically. The future isn’t just AI working for you. It’s AI hiring AI to get things done.

Stay with us. We drop insights, hacks, and tips to keep you ahead. No fluff. Just real ways to sharpen your edge.

What’s next? Break limits. Experiment. See how AI changes the game.

Till next time—keep chasing big ideas.
