One UI 8.5 could make it easier to get quick answers from AI, and here’s how

TL;DR

  • APK teardown shows Samsung is working on a new launcher shortcut for AI services.
  • The shortcut would respond to questions with three-sentence answers.
  • We’re expecting this feature to be released alongside One UI 8.5.

Stable One UI 8 only started rolling out this month, but early builds for Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8.5 update are already being tested. Thanks to a leaked build, we’ve seen some new iOS-inspired design changes, plus evidence of a new Private Display feature that could make your screen harder to read from the side. Now, code within the leaked One UI 8.5 build points to new, prominent AI integration, right on your home screen.

We’ve reviewed code in the leaked OneUI 8.5 build’s launcher app and spotted strings that reference the inclusion of so-called AI Agents. It’s not clear how exactly these agents will be integrated into the launcher, but as it stands, it seems like users will be able to ask questions and get direct, conversational answers.
