Xiaomi is expanding the reach of its AI assistant miclaw beyond China by launching a global closed beta. Initially unveiled on its home turf, miclaw is designed to operate autonomously on Xiaomi devices, handling tasks across apps and system functions with an emphasis on smart connectivity between vehicles and home devices.
Following weeks of closed testing in China, Xiaomi now invites users worldwide to participate, but only those with the latest Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra smartphones. The company touts miclaw as a hybrid solution bridging smart car control with home automation, aimed at simplifying device interaction through natural AI-driven commands.
