Most AI assistants are happy to chat with you, but they rarely roll up their sleeves and get things done. Tecno wants to change that with EllaClaw, its beta-stage mobile AI agent that aims to handle real tasks on your phone instead of just answering questions. The company showed off the next version of EllaClaw, and it now reaches deeper into your device and your favorite apps.
Tired of a slow, hot, battery-drained phone? EllaClaw has the solution.
EllaClaw packs over 40 Smart Skills that let it act like a caretaker for your device. You can ask it to free up RAM and CPU to fix lag, find the apps draining your battery, or cool down your phone when it gets too hot during heavy use.
There’s also a Smart Data Guardian that keeps an eye on your mobile data, which is a thoughtful touch for anyone tired of running out before the month ends. Before it makes any big changes, EllaClaw checks in with you first, so nothing happens behind your back.
It can also learn your habits over time and use that information to help with daily routines. You can ask it to give you morning briefings that pull in your calendar, weather, and news, or act as a trip assistant that books rides and sets your departure alarms.
What more can it do?
EllaClaw can also work across different apps, including shopping, food delivery, transportation, and smart home services. Instead of working like a mysterious black box, it navigates your apps in a visible, human-like way, so you can watch each step.
For now, EllaClaw is still an exploratory concept in closed beta. As Jack Guo, General Manager of Tecno, put it, the goal is to help “simplify everyday tasks, reduce friction and make advanced experiences more accessible, while ensuring transparency and user control remain central.”
Tecno says more details will come as development moves forward. It’s one of the few smartphone AI agents that actually seems to help users instead of aggravating them. I would love to see it come out of beta so I can test its claims and see how it performs in the real world.
