Samsung could be preparing a major upgrade for Bixby with its next software release. The upcoming One UI 9.5 update may turn the voice assistant into an AI agent that handles everyday tasks. The feature could move Bixby beyond answering questions and controlling phone settings.
According to a report by SamMobile, Samsung is internally testing a feature called Bixby Work. It could allow the assistant to carry out actions in the background and manage recurring requests. Samsung has not officially announced the feature yet.
What could Bixby Work do?
Bixby Work may handle tasks such as booking hotel rooms, scheduling appointments and setting up recurring actions. Users could describe what they need in natural language. Bixby would then interpret the request and prepare the required action.
One reported example shows a user asking Bixby for the USD-to-INR exchange rate every morning. The assistant reportedly understood the instruction and created a recurring task. The task appeared under the Actions section in the Bixby app.
However, the assistant may not activate every task automatically. Users reportedly need to review and approve a proposed action first. This confirmation step could help prevent unwanted or incorrect tasks from running.
Actions section could manage scheduled tasks
The Actions section may become the control centre for Bixby Work. Users could view their scheduled activities from the app’s navigation menu. They may also be able to pause, delete or pin individual tasks.
An activity log could offer more visibility into how Bixby completes each action. Users may also return to the original conversation linked to a scheduled task. These controls would make it easier to review ongoing activities and manage them when plans change.
The reported feature builds on Samsung’s broader effort to make Bixby more conversational and useful. With One UI 8.5, the company has already introduced a more capable device agent. It can understand natural-language requests and help users find device settings. You can read more about that update in our Samsung One UI 8.5 Bixby coverage.
One UI 9.5 may debut with Galaxy S27
Samsung is reportedly testing Bixby Work internally. The feature could arrive with One UI 9.5, which is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S27 series early next year. The company has not confirmed its availability, supported devices or final feature set.
If Samsung delivers the reported capabilities, Bixby could become more than a voice assistant. It may start handling multi-step requests and routine activities with limited user intervention. The bigger challenge will be making those actions reliable, transparent and easy to control.
