SHENZHEN, China, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Petal Maps, a navigation application of Huawei Mobile Services, and GrabMaps, an enterprise mapping solution by Southeast Asia's leading superapp Grab, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) on June 18th. This partnership aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of Petal Maps' data in Southeast Asia to deliver smarter navigation and a better travel experience for global users.

Advancing Global Competitiveness Through Data Collaboration
Grab is a leading superapp in Southeast Asia, offering ride-hailing, delivery and financial services across countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. GrabMaps, a trusted location service provider, delivers real-time mapping data and location services, covering over 50 million points of interest (POIs) in the region. Known for its unique mapmaking approach and hyperlocal commercial data, it supports core functions such as route planning, navigation and 360 street imagery captured by AI-powered devices.

Through this partnership, GrabMaps will provide localised and real-time mapping data. Petal Maps will integrate the data using its advanced processing engine to improve data precision. The partnership will enhance navigation for in-car users and support Chinese automotive manufacturers expanding into overseas markets with better in-vehicle navigation experiences.

Since its inception, Petal Maps has embraced open collaboration and mutual growth, working closely with local partners to develop solutions that meet regional user needs. By combining resources and strengths, the platform contributes to the advancement of the global smart mobility ecosystem.

Elevating User Experience Through Continuous Innovation

Since its launch in 2020, Petal Maps has covered more than 160 countries and regions, supporting over 70 languages across multiple devices, including smartphones, vehicles, PCs and wearables. Petal Maps also introduced features such as lane-level navigation and traffic light countdowns to improve the overseas user experience. At the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2025, Petal Maps unveiled the indoor-outdoor integrated navigation feature, offering users precise 3D indoor positioning and seamless transitions from street to interior navigation.

This partnership significantly accelerates Petal Maps' strategic development within the Southeast Asian market. In the future, Petal Maps will continue to work with global partners to enrich mapping services and deliver intelligent navigation experiences for users worldwide.

  • Is the real-life J.A.R.V.I.S AI assistant from Marvel's Iron Man movies almost here?
  • HANGZHOU, China, Dec. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA; HKEX: 2391), a global AI cloud platform service provider, today announced the launch of Hey Tuya, a next-generation Super AI Life Assistant designed to seamlessly integrate artificial intelligence into daily life. Hey Tuya marks a major milestone in the evolution of AI agents and physical AI. Built on a multi-agent collaborative architecture, it will transform how AI moves beyond screens to deliver proactive, intelligent assistance across home, office, and more scenarios in daily life.

    Multi-Device Collaboration: Making AI Ubiquitous

    Much like J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark's iconic AI assistant in the Iron Man movies, Hey Tuya is evolving into more than a virtual assistant answering simple questions. It is designed to become an AI life assistant capable of sensing environments, learning user habits, and coordinating with physical devices. Unlike traditional AI assistants confined to single devices, Hey Tuya is engineered to break beyond the screen, empowering users to summon their AI assistant from anywhere, whether through the Tuya App, smart speakers, control hubs, or even AI toys and wearables. It will facilitate multi-device collaboration and orchestrate smart devices and equipment, delivering a connected and intelligent experience throughout everyday life.

    Hey Tuya will feature short-term and long-term memory, designed to learn and adapt to users' routines, environmental preferences, and habits. Over time, it will evolve beyond reactive commands to anticipate needs and offer proactive recommendations. As it learns your habits, Hey Tuya will possibly suggest turning on the air conditioner 30 minutes before you arrive home, preheating the water heater and opening bedroom curtains ahead of your 7 a.m. wake-up, or dimming lights and activating a humidifier as you wind down for sleep. This continuous learning process will make interactions feel more intuitive, seamless, and efficient.

    Full-Scenario Coverage: From Home to Office and Beyond

    Hey Tuya's capabilities are designed to span diverse life scenarios, taking on different roles:

    • Home Security Guardian: Will provide round-the-clock security, with image recognition and retrieval, converting results into easy-to-understand voice or text alerts for clear safety status.
    • Energy-Saving Expert: Will monitor and analyze energy consumption in real time, proactively suggesting strategies like turning off idle devices, shutting off appliances during weekend trips, or adjusting AC temperatures according to weather and seasonal changes, making it easy to save energy with minimal effort.
    • Health Coach: Will focus on physical and mental well-being, support calorie recognition, track sleep and exercise data, and generate personalized health reports.
    • Efficient Work Assistant: Will offer meeting minutes generation, real-time multilingual translation, content summarization, and mind mapping to boost productivity.
    • Personal Life Secretary: Will manage daily tasks such as reminders, holiday alerts, pet and plant care, and family health monitoring for an organized life.

    Full-Scenario Coverage: From Home to Office and Beyond

    Hey Tuya's capabilities are designed to span diverse life scenarios, taking on different roles:

    Powered by Tuya's Proprietary PAE Technology

    Hey Tuya's ubiquitous AI experience is built on Tuya's proprietary PAE (Physical AI Engine), which deploys the AI-Device Real-Time Network (AD-RTN) edge acceleration network globally. With the AD-RTN as a foundation, Tuya Real-Time Communication (T-RTC) provides a reliable, low-latency, resilient, and global real-time communication system for AI devices.

    Tuya has further developed engines for natural language multimodal interaction (Conversational AI Engine), visual understanding (Vision AI Engine), and IoT device communication and control (IoT Intelligence Engine). Leveraging OmniMem long-term memory technology, PAE enables continuous learning across multimodal interactions and device behaviors, allowing the AI to truly understand user preferences and spatial habits.

    Through its Adaptive Expert System (AES) and Dynamic Orchestration Agent (DOA), PAE deeply integrates AI cognition and decision-making with real-world smart devices, forming a complete loop from perception to execution—creating intelligent spaces that grow and self-optimize.

    Hey Tuya will be available to individual consumers and open to global brands and developers, who will be able to integrate Hey Tuya into their AI hardware or customize it further. Tuya's open DNA will accelerate the evolution and adoption of Physical AI worldwide, fostering an open, symbiotic, and vibrant AIoT ecosystem.

    Currently, developers have created over 12,000 AI Agents on Tuya's platform, with 155 million daily AI interactions globally across various scenarios. In the future, Hey Tuya will integrate user feedback and best practices to further enhance the experience.

    Availability

    Hey Tuya is now live with initial capabilities. Users can download the Tuya App from major app stores or visit Tuya.AI to begin the journey with Hey Tuya as it continues to expand its full range of features.
