At CES 2026, AGI Inc. unveiled the world’s first fully voice-activated, hands-free AI assistant for smartphones. The app is created in order to allow users to control millions of apps sitting on their phone, simply by talking to them. Imagine ordering food or booking a cab without having to raise a finger to swipe or type!
It is called the AGI App, and its first product is the AGI-0, which gives you the convenience of doing what other assistants on the phone cannot. Working like a “proactive digital co-worker,” the AGI-0 uses on-phone AI models to interact with apps. The interaction is as smooth and convenient – just as you would manually do by tapping or swiping – but without requiring you to ever do it. Since voice command is all this AI assistant needs.
According to the company, therefore, AGI-0 is built on the simple idea: “Just tell your phone what you need.” Once activated on your phone, with all the permissions granted, the assistant will handle messages, daily tasks, reminders, and orders, all using voice interactions. No tapping, no typing, no manual touch navigation required.
Thinking why you would want another assistant, in addition to the one your phone manufacturer has already perfected for your handheld? Well, that voice assistant somehow falls short when it comes to getting things done with voice inside third-party apps. The AGI-0 is designed to stitch this gap.
It goes beyond the traditional assistants to voice control both native mobile apps and browser-based tasks with more than 99 percent accuracy, AGI Inc. notes. This is a success rate, though we haven’t personally tested it yet. But if the claims are true, the AGI-0 can make a great general-purpose assistant to execute tasks of interacting with food delivery, car hailing, social media, and more seamlessly and touch-free.
Of course, security becomes a top priority with apps that promise to do so much. What really impresses upfront about AGI-0 is its transparency on privacy. The assistant runs entirely on-device using onboard AI models, according to the company. That means user data stays on the phone, rather than being sent to the cloud.
Adding more finesse to the AGI-0 ability is the AI assistant’s adaptive design. Instead of relying on fixed automations, the assistant, company notes, learns from a user’s behavior over time, and can adjust how it understands and executes tasks accordingly.
