Huawei announced on September 16 that Xiao Yi Work has entered the internal testing phase. It is positioned as an AI work assistant for daily office work, code development, and creative creation, and supports HarmonyOS phones, tablets, and computers. The official website now provides a Windows client download (version 0.6.9). HarmonyOS computer users can switch to "Work" in the left sidebar of the Xiao Yi App to reserve the HarmonyOS version.
The service can autonomously decompose tasks after receiving user goals, call tools, and proceed with execution. Task progress can be viewed, and key nodes are reviewed by the user; it supports cross-device collaboration between mobile phones, tablets, and computers. Mobile devices can remotely issue tasks, check progress, and accept results. The execution environment can be either cloud or local computers, and multiple computers can be connected simultaneously.
Officially, it can automatically match experts for collaboration, covering scenarios such as research analysis, content creation, and programming office work. Examples include optimizing project presentation PPTs, adding core function code comments, and designing visual posters for activities.
Membership benefits include AI points, which are consumed differently based on task complexity. The membership agreement states that data will be retained for 7 days after a paid member's subscription expires, while data from free members will be deleted immediately and cannot be recovered upon expiration; the memory function will summarize personal preferences, schedules, and work information for cross-session memory and multi-device synchronization, and Huawei stated it is not used for model training.
Record information shows that the service involves algorithms such as DeepSeek large language model, Huawei Cloud PanGu NLP, MiniMax text synthesis, Zhipu interactive content generation, and Moonshot language model from Yue Zhi An Mian.
