  "account": "SHENZHEN, CHINA – October 13, 2026 – Global smartphone manufacturer OPPO has announced a partnership with AI agent platform provider Manus to incorporate advanced agentic AI features into their devices. This integration will enable OPPO AI Mind Pilot users to transform intricate, multi-phase tasks into easily executable outcomes, advancing OPPO's goal of \"Personalized Proactive Intelligence.\"\n\nKai Tang, President of Software Engineering at OPPO, stated, \"By collaborating with Manus, we are enhancing AI Mind Pilot, allowing AI to better comprehend users' intentions, execute actions, and accomplish tasks. Our objective is to integrate personal AI seamlessly into daily life and work.\"\n\nTao Zhang, Co-Founder & CPO of Manus, added, \"Smartphones play a pivotal role in people's lives, handling numerous daily tasks. By combining Manus' agentic abilities with OPPO's system-level integration, we can make sophisticated AI agents more accessible and assist users in completing complex tasks via straightforward, natural interactions.\"\n\nThe collaboration will be introduced through OPPO AI Mind Pilot's new Agent Mode in the forthcoming OPPO Find X10 Series, featuring ColorOS 17. This mode surpasses basic question-and-answer functionality. AI Mind Pilot can grasp a user's ultimate objective, decompose it into several steps, pinpoint pertinent data, pinpoint suitable instruments, and present a completed result, even managing files and images stored on the device.\n\nFor instance, a user organizing a trip could request AI Mind Pilot to arrange their travel itinerary. It could locate flight tickets, hotel reservations, restaurant bookings, and attraction passes across multiple apps on the smartphone, consolidate them, and compile them with relevant online data to generate a customized, day-by-day schedule—without necessitating manual information collection and input.\n\nThese capabilities can also aid in everyday creative and professional activities. Users can instruct AI Mind Pilot to locate and organize photos from a vacation, pinpoint specific images, or amalgamate existing files and online data to craft a presentation, proposal, portfolio, or other ready-to-use content using a single command.\n\nAGENTIC AI EMPHASIZING USER CONTROL AND PRIVACY\nAs AI transitions from delivering information to collaborating with personal context and executing tasks, privacy, security, and user control become paramount. AI Mind Pilot is built with these considerations as its foundation. ColorOS 17 utilizes on-device models to comprehend and organize pertinent data locally.\n\nFor local tasks like locating, organizing, or renaming files and photos, the original content remains on the device and is not transmitted to Manus. When a task requires external processing, AI Mind Pilot will seek the user's explicit permission before pertinent content is uploaded or shared. Users retain control over which information is accessed, which actions are performed, and whether external processing is authorized.\n\nBy employing on-device processing and transparent authorization, OPPO and Manus aim to enhance agentic AI's capabilities while preserving users' choice and control. The launch of these Manus-powered features within AI Mind Pilot will commence on the OPPO Find X10 Series with ColorOS 17. Specific details regarding availability, supported markets, and user benefits will be disclosed upon launch.",
