• Official Website: https://consumer.huawei.com/cn/harmonyos/
• Type: AI Operating System / Smart Assistant
• Core Products: HarmonyOS 6 + Celia Smart Agent

Product Description

Huawei is advancing HarmonyOS into the "Agent Era." The core AI assistant, Celia, has evolved from a single voice assistant to a "global coordination brain" capable of acting as the main Agent to automatically dispatch third-party application sub-Agents, completing complex cross-application tasks within the Celia dialogue interface.

Core Evolution of Celia Smart Agent

System-Level Smart Agent

• Upgraded from a voice assistant to a "global coordination brain"
• Acts as the main Agent to dispatch and command third-party application sub-Agents
• Completes tasks within the Celia dialogue interface without switching screens
• Users only need to issue commands, and Celia automatically orchestrates execution

Emotion Recognition Capability

• Supports 11 types of emotion recognition
• Enables anthropomorphic scene interaction and service response
• Emotion coordination across multiple devices

Smart Home Management

• Harmony Smart Home "Celia Butler"
• Plans to launch the "Whisper" new feature in Q1 2026
• AI management of whole-house intelligence

Relationship with OpenClaw Ecosystem

Huawei's HarmonyOS Agent ecosystem provides an important reference for OpenClaw's development in the Chinese market. OpenClaw can focus on the integration opportunities with the HMAF framework and the Celia Smart Agent Open Platform, especially the compatibility of the MCP protocol, which could enable interconnection between OpenClaw and the Harmony ecosystem. Huawei's technological accumulation in edge AI and secure computing is also worth OpenClaw's reference.
