Xiaomi Launches Miclaw: Autonomous AI Agent Enters Closed Beta for Select Smartphones
Xiaomi released its mobile AI agent product named miclaw on March 6, 2026, in China.
The company positioned the tool as an experimental AI interaction product designed for smartphones.
Miclaw operates at the system level and accesses more than 50 built-in tools along with connected smart home devices through Xiaomi's ecosystem.
The agent uses a reasoning and execution framework to process user commands, perceive surroundings, and perform tasks independently across apps and features.
According to the official statement from Xiaomi's Technology Weibo account:
"Xiaomi miclaw, an AI interaction test product built on the Xiaomi MiMo large model, officially launched small-scale closed beta testing today. Compared with traditional AI assistants, Xiaomi miclaw possesses four levels of capabilities: system-level underlying ability, personal context understanding, ecosystem interconnectivity, and self-evolution. Xiaomi miclaw represents a small step in our exploration of Agent. This closed beta will not include public recruitment but will use an invitation-only system, initially supporting Xiaomi 17 series models."
