Emir BardakçıXiaomi today announced the upgraded version of its AI voice assistant “Super Xiao Ai” will officially appear in tonight’s press conference. Such an upgraded AI assistant transforms from a smart speaker into a comprehensive AI assistant, capable of seamlessly integrating across Xiaomi’s ecosystem. But it’s only for China.
Key Features of Super Xiao AI
- Intelligence and Interactivity Amplified: Xiaomi refers to Super Xiao Ai as developing from just “listening and then speaking” to becoming “thoughtful and capable.” It now handles more complex tasks, which include advanced response capabilities, proactive assistance, making it really involved in users’ lives.
- Closer Integration with the Ecosystem: It is not only designed for mobile devices, but Super Xiao Ai will be further supported on a wide variety of Xiaomi products, including smart home devices, tablets, TVs, speakers, and even vehicles. Along with increased device support comes expanded device integrations, which will allow users to have greater control over several Xiaomi ecosystem products through voice commands and automated routines.
- Proactive and Contextual Responses: It will also add a “status” response to allow Super Xiao Ai to give contextually relevant responses, dependent on a user’s status or environment#for example, settings adjusted for different times of the day, geographical location, or state of connected devices.
- Significant Functional Improvements: Based on the July “Big Model Xiao Ai” update, Super Xiao Ai now fully supports natural language Q&A, image editing, outdoor wake-up responses, and many more. This kind of rich functionality extends deeply into Xiaomi’s core device categories, greatly improving how users can interact with both Xiaomi and third-party applications and services.
What Xiaomi would really want is AI across the board in its ecosystem. For Xiaomi, Super Xiao Ai is more than just a simple virtual assistant. The company wants AI-powered “thinking and doing” to form a part of users’ daily routines, becoming a real companion capable of understanding context and performing actions in real time. Super Xiao Ai seamlessly integrates into users’ devices and surroundings to ensure that AI will be inseparable and natural in the modern experience. While the fans might know pretty much about what Super Xiao Ai would be capable of and its direction in reshaping the future of AI-powered smart living, it would most likely all come out during tonight’s press conference.
The name though… It can be better.
