Huawei customer service told IT之家 that the Xiaoyi AI shortcut bar, a new HarmonyOS 7 feature, is expected to begin rolling out in late October, pushed out in batches by device model. The feature was first teased at the September 7 launch event for HarmonyOS 7 alongside the HUAWEI Mate XT 2 and other products, where official slides showed Xiaoyi taking up permanent residence in the dock at the bottom of the phone home screen once enabled. HarmonyOS 7 runs on the Harmony Intelligence architecture and supports the system-level agent Xiaoyi, combining a four-layer memory architecture, app Skills, cloud and on-device large models, and multi-device collaboration.
