Jambo Unveils Jarvis: AI Agents Transform Smartphones

• Jarvis runs AI across calls, messages, and tasks, removing app clutter and complicated permissions for users.

• One command can order cakes, gifts, and reminders, showing AI agents can manage multiple tasks seamlessly.

• OpenClaw blocks crypto discussions, highlighting governance clashes in the growing AI agent ecosystem.

A shift in mobile computing has begun as Jambo unveils Jarvis, an agentic smartphone. The launch happened online through JamboTechnology on X. The company says Jarvis embeds AI agents at the hardware and OS level.

Moreover, Jambo claims this design removes app clutter and permission barriers. The announcement targets users frustrated by fragmented apps and slow workflows. Consequently, Jambo positions Jarvis as a seamless human-AI interface.

The device stems from Project Edge, built quietly for months. Additionally, Jambo said that it spent five years building a vertically integrated stack. The firm controls both hardware and software. Hence, Jarvis integrates agents across the entire device, not inside single apps.

Jambo argues that app-based agents face strict limits. However, Jarvis agents manage calls, messages, wallets, browsers, and tasks natively. The company said users avoid a “permissions maze.” Moreover, Jambo believes hardware ownership removes technical constraints. The firm frames Jarvis as the first true agentic mobile device. Consequently, it enters a race toward OS-level AI integration.

OS-Level AI Changes User Control

Jambo illustrates Jarvis with a real-life scenario. A father asks for birthday help in one command. He says, “My son’s birthday is Saturday. Find a cake shop nearby with good reviews, order a chocolate cake under $15, find a gift he’d like based on his age, buy it, and schedule a reminder for pickup.”

Jarvis then executes six tasks automatically. It searches bakeries and compares ratings. Additionally, it places the cake order within budget. Moreover, it browses gifts by age and interest. It completes purchases and confirms delivery. Furthermore, it pays using an onchain wallet. Finally, it sets a calendar reminder.

Jambo says this model unlocks the AI agent economy. However, complexity often blocks mainstream adoption. Consequently, Jarvis aims to deliver power “right out the box.”

OpenClaw Draws a Hard Line

Meanwhile, tension grows in the open-source AI space. Peter Steinberger leads OpenClaw, an AI agent framework with over 200,000 GitHub stars. However, he enforces a strict crypto ban on Discord. A user mentioned bitcoin in a benchmarking context.

Moderators blocked him immediately. Steinberger later clarified, “We have strict server rules that you accepted whe you entered the server. No crypto mention whatsoever is one of them,” he said.
