Latest update (11-11 13:46): Blue introduces a voice-controlled phone with an AI agent that works across apps

Overview: Blue introduces a phone with its own operating system that lets an AI agent act inside any installed app, including in the background, according to posts by Elvis Saravia (@omarsar0) and Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai). Users make a one-time voice request, such as filing an expense report, and the agent completes it while they do other things. Paul's post adds that the agent triages notifications and drafts replies for the user to approve before sending.

Blue says a ten-user test switched every participant away from iPhone within weeks. The reports do not include the test's methodology or independent verification of that result.
