Honor’s New AI Agent Can Read and Understand Your Screen

 

Honor has unveiled the Honor UI Agent, a GUI-based mobile AI agent powered by Google’s Gemini 2 model. This agent can understand and interact with your screen’s graphical user interface, handling tasks like booking a restaurant through apps like OpenTable.

→ Why it matters: This marks a significant step toward AI agents that can autonomously navigate and perform tasks on Android devices, potentially revolutionizing how we interact with our phones.

Apple Might Not Release a Truly ‘Modernized’ Siri Until 2027

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is struggling to rebuild Siri for the generative AI era. A truly conversational, modernized version of Siri may not arrive until iOS 20 in 2027. However, a new version of Siri with Apple Intelligence features is expected to debut in May 2025.

→ Cool angle: While Apple plays catch-up, competitors like Google and Honor are already pushing the boundaries of AI-powered assistants.

These Smart Cameras Spot Wildfires Before They Spread

In San Clemente, California, AI-powered cameras with night vision are being used to detect wildfires faster than human 911 callers. These cameras work tirelessly, scanning for smoke 24/7 and alerting authorities before fires can spread.

→ Pro tip: AI’s role in public safety is growing, with applications like these potentially saving lives and reducing disaster response times.

Flora is Building an AI-Powered ‘Infinite Canvas’ for Creative Professionals

Flora, a startup founded by Weber Wong, is developing an AI-powered “infinite canvas” designed specifically for creative professionals. Unlike existing AI tools, Flora aims to cater to the needs of actual creatives, moving beyond tools “made by non-creatives for other non-creatives to feel creative.”

→ Bigger picture: Flora’s approach could redefine how creative professionals leverage AI, offering tools that enhance rather than replace their workflows.
