TECNO has unveiled enhanced capabilities for its mobile AI agent, EllaClaw, allowing it to manage phone functions and perform tasks within other applications. This advancement is presented as the next phase of their "Practical AI" initiative for emerging markets, including Kenya.

• EllaClaw's new abilities include device upkeep, such as clearing memory and monitoring battery usage, and GUI comprehension to interact with third-party apps like shopping and transport services.
• The AI agent is built upon the OpenClaw framework and is being developed for TECNO's budget and mid-range phones, unlike flagship offerings from competitors.
• TECNO has not provided a release date or confirmed pricing, and EllaClaw is currently in a closed beta, making it unavailable for public use.
