Applications simplify our daily routines, allowing us to accomplish various activities, such as food ordering and trip booking, directly from our smartphones. Imagine a scenario where a single advanced AI assistant could seamlessly handle all these tasks instead of relying on multiple apps.
Deutsche Telekom, the majority shareholder of T-Mobile, will unveil a revolutionary AI phone concept at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC). This innovative device features an AI assistant that eliminates the necessity for traditional apps.
Powered by Brain.ai, the phone’s AI interface can mimic the functions of numerous apps by predicting and executing the next steps required to achieve the user’s desired outcome.
Described as a virtual concierge, the AI assistant comprehends user objectives and manages the intricate details, offering a personalized and efficient experience.
For instance, when planning a trip, instead of navigating through multiple apps manually, users can simply instruct their phone, via voice or text, to make the arrangements on their behalf. The AI assistant will then autonomously complete the necessary actions without the need to launch any specific apps.
This groundbreaking concept will be demonstrated at MWC on the Deutsche Telekom T Phone, currently accessible in European markets, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Reference Design, which processes AI functions directly on the device.
While the prospect of a smartphone streamlining daily tasks is undoubtedly enticing, prospective users should temper their excitement. Deutsche Telekom will exhibit prototypes at MWC, indicating that a commercial release for consumers may still be a considerable time away.
The operational model of this smartphone closely mirrors that of the Rabbit R1, a handheld device priced at $199, which harnesses AI and natural language processing to supplant apps and execute various tasks effortlessly.
The latest batch of Rabbit R1 devices is now open for pre-orders, following the rapid sell-out of the initial five batches. Customers pre-ordering today can anticipate shipments to US and Canada addresses between June and July 2024. Conversely, the release date for the T Phone’s AI assistant remains undisclosed at this time.
