These agents are designed to go beyond mere language processing and interact with a wide range of digital interfaces and environments, marking a new era for AI. **Challenges and Solutions** A major challenge lies in the over-reliance of these agents on text-based inputs, which limits their interaction capabilities. To overcome this, there is a shift towards enhancing large language models (LLMs) with multimodal capabilities, enabling them to process text, images, audio, and video. Researchers at Tencent have introduced a multimodal agent framework tailored for operating smartphone applications. This framework empowers agents to interact with applications through intuitive actions, enhancing adaptability while bolstering security and privacy. **Learning Mechanism and Performance** The learning mechanism involves an autonomous exploration phase where the agent interacts with various applications, learning from these interactions. Rigorous testing across multiple smartphone applications has demonstrated the agent’s effectiveness and versatility in handling various tasks, highlighting its practicality and potential. **Implications and Opportunities** This research signifies a pivot from traditional, text-based intelligent agents to more versatile, multimodal agents, opening new avenues for AI’s application in everyday life and revealing exciting opportunities for future research. **Evolve Your Company with AI** Explore how AI can redefine your work processes by leveraging practical AI solutions.
