Xiaomi says it has begun pushing its new Xiaomi miclaw agent to devices running HyperOS 3 Beta, including the Xiaomi 17 series and models such as the REDMI K90 Pro Max. The company describes miclaw as an exploratory AI product designed to turn the phone into an active tool that can understand intent, request authorization when needed, and then call first-party apps, ecosystem services, and system-level tools to finish a task.
According to Xiaomi’s own description, miclaw is meant to do more than respond with chat answers. The assistant is supposed to recognize the user, remember prior preferences, interpret vague requests, and then decide how to complete them using available tools. Xiaomi also says the system can keep improving over time, adjust its own behavior, expand its capabilities, and store experience through a memory mechanism so it becomes more useful the longer it is used.
Because this is still positioned as a cutting-edge experimental product, Xiaomi openly says the experience remains under active optimization. Stability, power consumption, and success rates in complicated scenarios are all still being tuned, and some higher-complexity tasks may show inconsistent efficiency or fail in certain stages. In other words, Xiaomi is clearly presenting this as a beta-stage AI agent rather than a polished final assistant.
IT Home says Xiaomi miclaw is built on Xiaomi’s MiMo large model and brings a broad feature update. Xiaomi has added a new personality framework so the assistant can express a clearer tone, style, and memory behavior. There is also a new dynamic posting feature, which allows the assistant to publish status-style updates based on the content of user conversations.
The company has also introduced a new skills framework that covers high-frequency scenarios such as self-improvement, photo search, ride hailing, and navigation, with unified management inside a skill center. Users can now create scheduled tasks with natural language and have miclaw execute them on time and proactively push back the results. Xiaomi says the agent can use more than 80 system tools spanning calendars, notes, albums, settings, and other first-party capabilities, while also supporting third-party MCP integrations to extend the service range further.
On top of that, Xiaomi is bundling several specialized assistants for everyday tasks. These include a schedule assistant for calendar management, route planning, ride-price comparison, and train or flight lookup; a communication assistant for finding contacts, making calls, sending messages, and summarizing SMS content; an office assistant for note generation, transcription, meeting summaries, and file organization; an imaging assistant for intent-based photo and video search plus natural-language editing; and a Mi Home assistant focused on device control, diagnostics, consumables, and automation creation.
Xiaomi has also launched a new assistant store so users can add and manage more professional assistants over time. A third-party Wind investment assistant is already listed as a live example. The company additionally says users can create custom assistants with natural language, whether that means building a fitness coach, an English speaking partner, or some other personal helper tailored to a specific need.
One of the more ambitious parts of the rollout is the cross-device layer. Xiaomi says miclaw can sync memory across phones, tablets, and laptops under the same account so personal preferences and prior agreements do not need to be re-entered on every device. It can also search for and transfer files across those devices with a single natural-language request, then help open files, save them, or show where they are stored. Taken together, the update shows Xiaomi trying to move beyond a simple voice assistant toward a broader action-oriented AI agent built into its hardware ecosystem.
