OPPO has announced a collaboration with Manus, a leading AI agent platform, to integrate agentic AI capabilities into its AI Mind Pilot, marking a significant step toward smartphones that can autonomously handle complex tasks. The partnership aims to deliver Personalized Proactive Intelligence, where AI understands user intentions and takes action to complete multi-step tasks, moving beyond simple question-and-answer interactions. The news, first reported by Media OutReach Newswire, signals a broader industry shift toward AI that doesn't just provide information but actively assists users in getting things done.
At the core of this collaboration is the integration of Manus' agentic capabilities into AI Mind Pilot's new Agent Mode, set to debut on the upcoming OPPO Find X10 Series with ColorOS 17. Unlike conventional AI assistants that respond to queries, AI Mind Pilot can comprehend a user's end goal, break it down into multiple steps, identify relevant information, select appropriate tools, and deliver a finished result. It can even work directly with files and photos stored on the device. For instance, a user planning a trip could ask AI Mind Pilot to organize their travel plans; the system would find flight tickets, hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, and attraction tickets scattered across different apps, then combine them with online information to create a personalized day-by-day itinerary without manual effort. Similarly, users can request the AI to organize photos from a trip, locate specific images, or compile existing files and online information into a presentation, proposal, or portfolio—all with a single prompt.
"Agentic AI marks an important shift from answering questions to helping users get things done," said Kai Tang, President of Software Engineering at OPPO. "Together with Manus, we are bringing more proactive and capable experiences to AI Mind Pilot, enabling AI to better understand users' intentions, take actions and complete tasks. Our goal is to make personal AI a natural part of everyday life and work." Tao Zhang, Co-Founder & CPO of Manus, added, "Smartphones are central to people's daily lives and support many of the tasks they handle every day, making them a natural platform for personal AI agents. By bringing together Manus' agentic capabilities and OPPO's system-level integration, we can make advanced AI agents more accessible and help users complete multi-step tasks through simple, natural interactions."
As AI evolves from providing information to handling personal context and executing tasks, privacy and user control become paramount. AI Mind Pilot is designed with these priorities at its core. ColorOS 17 uses on-device models to understand and organize information locally. For local tasks such as finding, organizing, or renaming files and photos, the original content remains on the device and is not shared with Manus. When a task requires external processing, AI Mind Pilot will ask for the user's explicit confirmation before uploading or sharing relevant content. Users remain in control of what information is accessed, which actions are taken, and whether external processing is allowed. Through on-device processing and transparent authorization, OPPO and Manus aim to make agentic AI more capable while maintaining a clear focus on users' choice and control.
The Manus-powered capabilities in AI Mind Pilot will debut on the OPPO Find X10 Series with ColorOS 17. Further details on availability, supported markets, and user benefits will be announced at launch. This collaboration underscores the growing importance of agentic AI in smartphones, as it promises to transform how users interact with their devices, making them more proactive and efficient while addressing critical concerns about privacy and control.
