Huawei launches xiaoyi work: a 24/7 AI assistant for productivity tasks

On September 24, 2026, Huawei officially launched Xiaoyi Work, an AI assistant designed to operate around the clock. The product supports HarmonyOS devices, including phones, tablets, and computers, enabling seamless cross-device collaboration. Xiaoyi Work is capable of handling complex tasks such as market research, PPT creation, data analysis, content generation, and code development. Users can simply state their goals, and the assistant autonomously breaks down tasks, plans execution steps, and utilizes appropriate tools. It also allows users to monitor progress and review key stages. Xiaoyi Work supports both cloud and local computing environments, offering flexibility based on software and work requirements. Cloud-based execution ensures continuous task processing without local device limitations, with results automatically synchronized. New users can access 1000 AI points for free within 31 days, providing a one-month trial. The product represents Huawei's expansion into multi-step task execution, deeply integrated with HarmonyOS. As competitors introduce AI assistants capable of long-task execution, the focus in office scenarios has shifted toward reliability, cross-terminal continuity, and cloud resource management. Xiaoyi Work exemplifies this shift by combining AI capabilities with HarmonyOS’s ecosystem.
