Why this would be needed

Use case

Users want to automate cross-platform tasks within familiar chat apps, such as managing schedules, sending messages, and retrieving information.

Users may use Siri, Google Assistant, or manually operate multiple apps.

Existing AI assistants require opening a separate app or webpage, which is cumbersome and difficult to integrate with daily-used chat tools.
