- 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.
