Perspective
Galaxy AI includes multiple tools that apply artificial intelligence to specific user tasks, such as communication, notetaking, photography, and productivity. Each tool is categorized by function and operates within Samsung’s software environment.
Communication
Call Assist
Provides translation-related features within the default Phone app on supported Galaxy devices. It includes Live Translate, which enables two-way voice and text translation during calls, and Text Call, which converts speech into real-time text and generates responses. These tools aim to support communication across different languages and offer alternatives to voice-based interaction.[8][9][10] Text Call does not involve AI processing and is available on all devices supporting One UI 6.1 or later.
Writing Assist
A feature integrated into the Samsung Keyboard that supports tasks such as translation, sentence composition, and text correction. It offers tools for adjusting phrasing, grammar, and tone across supported apps, including messaging and email platforms. Suggested replies may also be generated based on context.[11][12][13]
Interpreter
A translation feature on Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1 or later, offering real-time spoken and on-screen translations for two-way face-to-face conversations. It supports over a dozen languages and includes a screen-flip view so each speaker can read translations in their own language. Offline use is available with downloaded language packs.[14]
Productivity
Now Brief
A daily summary interface introduced in One UI 7 and updated in One UI 8. It presents scrollable cards with updates such as weather, calendar events, smart home status, and hydration reminders. One UI 8 added a “Listen Brief” feature using on-device text-to-speech. Now Brief also serves as a visual output surface for Gemini Live, displaying AI-generated summaries and follow-up suggestions in card format. These cards are dynamically updated based on the user’s schedule and app usage, and are accessible via Now Bar.[15][16]
Now Bar
A customizable toolbar introduced in One UI 7 and updated in One UI 8, offering quick access to live activities, device routines, and app shortcuts. Now Bar includes real-time widgets such as Now Brief cards, and acts as the primary interface for launching Gemini Live. A Gemini Live status indicator (e.g. “listening” or “on hold”) may appear on the lock screen, showing session status and offering limited session controls.[15][16][17][18]
Gemini Live
A multimodal AI feature included in the Galaxy AI suite, powered by Google Gemini. It enables interaction through voice, camera input, and screen sharing, supporting tasks such as object recognition, text translation, and content analysis. The assistant works with supported applications, with direct integration for Samsung apps such as Calendar, Samsung Notes, and Reminders. Responses generated by Gemini Live may appear as Now Brief cards, and the session status can be monitored and managed through Now Bar.[19][20][21][22]
Note Assist
A feature in Samsung Notes that helps summarize content from meetings or lectures into structured formats. It can identify recurring phrases or key points and format them using built-in organization tools. The output may be used for reviewing or sharing, depending on the user’s needs.[14][23]
Transcript Assist
A function within the Samsung Voice Recorder app allows recorded speech to be converted into text. It supports additional features such as basic summarization and translation, depending on the content and system configuration. These tools are intended to improve audio processing efficiency within the app.[23]
Cross-app Action
A feature that enables certain actions—such as search, translation, or event creation—based on selected text or content across compatible apps. It recognizes contextual elements and presents available options within supported Galaxy and third-party applications.[24][25][26]
Camera
ProVisual Engine
A software-based imaging system applies scene recognition and automated adjustments to improve visual output on supported devices. It can modify parameters such as color balance, brightness, contrast, and noise levels. Manual adjustment tools are also available for users who prefer direct control.[27][28][29]
Nightography
A low-light photography function that uses noise reduction and exposure control to support clearer image and video capture in dark settings. It may also apply motion blur reduction depending on the scene and hardware capabilities.[30][31]
Explore
Circle to Search
A gesture-based search function that lets users select on-screen content for related web lookup. It can recognize elements such as products, landmarks, and text, and provides search suggestions within the current interface. This is intended to reduce app switching during contextual queries.[14][32]
AI Select
A content-based suggestion feature that analyzes what is displayed on screen to offer possible user actions. Examples include suggesting wallpaper settings or creating short video clips from selected media. The feature works within certain Samsung apps and may vary depending on device capabilities.[33][34][35][36]
Browsing Assist
A web summarization feature within the Samsung Internet browser that processes textual content to generate condensed versions. It can also translate supported content and is limited to handling text-based information. The function is intended to assist users in reviewing lengthy web content.[37][38]
Photo editing
Sketch to Image
An image generation function that creates visual outputs sketches, photos, or text-based prompts. It applies algorithmic filters to modify or complete the input and is compatible with tools such as the S Pen and voice commands. The feature is available in apps including Samsung Gallery, Samsung Notes, and the Edge Panel.[39][40][41]
Portrait Studio
A portrait creation feature that generates stylized images from photos or sketches using AI-based image processing. Users can apply effects such as lighting or background adjustments through touch-based controls. The feature is available in the Samsung Gallery app and supports input methods including touch and S Pen.[40][42][43]
Generative Edit
An image editing function that allows users to perform tasks such as removing objects, expanding backgrounds, or resizing content using automated generation tools. The system fills in modified areas algorithmically, based on surrounding visual context.[44][45][46]
Video editing
Audio Eraser
A post-processing feature that allows users to remove background noise or specific audio elements—such as voices, wind, or crowd sounds—from recorded videos. It uses AI-based audio separation to isolate and reduce unwanted sound components. The feature is available in the Samsung Gallery app and can be accessed during video editing.[47]
Auto Trim
A video editing function that detects and selects portions of footage based on visual or contextual patterns. These segments can be combined into shorter clips, potentially reducing the need for manual editing.[48][49]
Instant Slo-Mo
A post-processing function that generates slow-motion playback by interpolating additional frames between existing ones. It is activated during video playback in the Gallery app by tapping and holding the screen. This does not require prior selection of a specific recording mode.[50][51][52]
Assist
Bixby and Bixby Vision
Two input functions within the Galaxy device interface that handle voice and visual recognition tasks. Bixby processes spoken commands to operate certain features or access tools, and can be launched by voice or a hardware button. Bixby Vision identifies visual elements through the camera, such as objects or text, and displays related information within supported apps.[53][54][55]
Health
Health Assist
A health monitoring function in the Samsung Health app that generates an Energy score based on factors such as sleep quality, activity, and heart rate variability. The score is intended to reflect a user's general condition for daily activity, and is derived from data collected by other Galaxy devices, although only a watch or a smart ring can track sleep.[56][57][58]
Personalization
Generative Wallpaper and Photo Ambient
Two visual customization functions that modify wallpaper appearance using AI-based processing. Generative Wallpaper creates images from user-provided keywords or themes, operating locally on the device. Photo Ambient adjusts wallpaper based on environmental factors such as lighting and time, using preset visual filters.[59][60][61][62]
These features leverage on-device AI for privacy-sensitive tasks while utilizing cloud-based AI for complex processing needs.[63]

According to Samsung, user data is not stored or used to train AI models without explicit permission. The company also outlines principles related to fairness, transparency, and accountability in AI development.[66]
