Huawei's Xiaoyi Bangbangmang Agent Drops Support for New Devices

On October 3, 2026, ITHome reported that Huawei's official website now states that 小艺帮帮忙, an exploratory agent introduced with HarmonyOS 6.0, will no longer support devices added after this point, citing a business adjustment. According to the report, the agent focuses on controlling apps and covers a wider range of scenarios; users can find it in the agent conversation list or search for it in the plaza to try it out.

Devices that were supported during the HarmonyOS 6.0 period can still use the agent, and users' personal skills and scheduled tasks remain available after upgrading to HarmonyOS 7.0. On devices that do not support 小艺帮帮忙, the agent, personal skills and scheduled tasks cannot be transferred over through data cloning. The device list ITHome published for the original HarmonyOS 6.0 support period includes the Mate 80 series, Mate 70 series, Mate 60 series, Mate X7 series, Mate X6 series and Mate X5 series, among others; the report's text is cut off at that point.

The matter currently rests at the website notice: the report says only that the change follows a business adjustment, and gives no reason for the decision, no mention of restoring support and no alternative offering. Huawei has not provided further detail in the material available.
