Samsung prepares automated agent upgrades for Bixby in One UI 9.5

Samsung is developing major upgrades for Bixby in its upcoming One UI 9.5 software update that could turn the voice assistant into an automated AI agent. According to reports based on early testing discovered by SamMobile, the revamped assistant could arrive alongside the Galaxy S27 lineup or roll out more broadly sometime in 2027. [1][2]

The changes introduce automated actions that Bixby can carry out in the background on a user's behalf, such as booking hotels, scheduling appointments, or routinely providing the morning currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Indian rupee. Users will maintain control over these automated tasks through dedicated options to pin, pause, or delete actions, alongside a suspected action history log to review previous updates. [1][2]

The shift toward agentic capabilities mirrors features currently offered by Google Gemini on Galaxy devices. Samsung executive Won-Joon Choi previously highlighted earlier updates aimed at natural interactions and live web searches, but these newer background actions represent an ongoing effort to make Bixby operate as an independent digital assistant.
