Technology companies promise a future in which the way we use systems will change thanks to artificial intelligence. Instead of holding a phone or computer and pressing buttons to control it, the user describes what he wants to the artificial intelligence assistant so that he directly does everything he needs without the slightest intervention from the user.
Accordingly, personal assistant applications are transformed from mere voice applications capable of searching for some information and performing some simplified functions, to integrated artificial intelligence agents that work within your operating system and control it directly without your intervention.

Apple promised this change two years ago when it revealed its plan to offer the features of “Apple Intelligence”, then it returned to providing the same features again this year during the developers conference under the name “Siri AI”. Nvidia also promised the same thing after cooperating with “Microsoft” through its new integrated chip “RTX Spark” and the computers that rely on it, and even Google made the same promise with “Gemini” in the Android 17 operating system at its annual conference. For developers.
But will these companies’ efforts to integrate the advantages of artificial intelligence into their systems succeed?
The agent inhabits the operating system
What Apple or Google are trying to do is no different from the concept of traditional artificial intelligence agents, as any artificial intelligence agent is able to control the computer or phone and perform several different functions as long as these functions are available by the system, and some agents are able to simulate human actions in the computer to perform the function required of them in the end.
The only difference between the technology of artificial intelligence agents from independent companies such as “OpenClaw” or “Hermes” and “Siri AI” and the artificial intelligence agents integrated into the operating system is that the latter is capable of doing almost anything within the system, as the company that developed it is the company that developed the system itself.
A report published by the American technical website TechCrunch confirms that Siri AI is able to access the Internet in search of information, as well as the ability to access your personal information, photos, and applications and read the things on the screen in front of you to help you do what you need.
What “Gemini Intelligence” as Google called it does is no different from what “Siri AI” does, as it is also capable of searching the Internet and your personal information, in addition to the ability to automate various tasks through applications by directing a single command to the phone to begin executing the various steps, according to what was stated in the company’s official statement on its website.
The American Wall Street Journal report reveals a similar trend from Nvidia in the “RTX Spark” chip. Instead of making an artificial intelligence agent or a single artificial intelligence assistant in the system, the upcoming updates to the “Windows” system will allow the user Any number of AI agents through an easy interface.
These agents can control the Windows system, navigate it, and perform the various functions required by the user without any interference from him, in a very easy and fast way.
The secret is in computing
The computing power and hardware used in all new devices is also one of the points of difference between the artificial intelligence agents integrated into the systems and the traditional artificial intelligence agents, as Apple has confirmed that only some of its phones will get the full features of Siri AI, while others will not. The same is true with Windows. These features work better on computers that have the RTX Spark chip.
The impact of this difference can be simplified into a key direct point: instead of the AI agent working over the Internet and the user needing to go through complex steps to install it and start using it, he can do this directly from within the operating system itself in the local environment on his computer.
The American newspaper’s report confirms that RTX Spark processors are capable of running complete artificial intelligence models with a size of up to 120 billion standards locally without the need to host them over the Internet.
This ensures that users maintain their privacy within their chosen operating environment and that their data is not shared with any external AI company, as well as leaving the concept of subscribing to AI services in favor of local models.
The artificial intelligence agents built within the system have an additional advantage that makes them superior to other types of artificial intelligence agents. Because the agent comes designed by the company that manufactures the system itself and is dedicated to one type of hardware, it works more efficiently and is designed to work efficiently with the system and the hardware together at the same time.
This makes the AI agent work better, handle the system better, and reduce the error rate, as well as not placing an excessive load on the operating system or hardware every time the agent is run.
This is an advantage for AI agents built into the system, as companies can promote and distribute their own AI agents without having to promote the AI agent as a separate product, and a separate report from Business Standard confirms that users trust products that come integrated within their systems more.
The flip side: What does the user lose in return?
Despite the many advantages that technology companies are trying to promote by placing artificial intelligence agents within the system, this raises some privacy concerns, as indicated by the report of the American “Scientific American” news site regarding “Siri AI.”
The reason for this is that the artificial intelligence agent built within the system has the ability and powers to access things that are not usually shared with artificial intelligence agents or that you may choose not to share, such as your location data and data recorded in your phone, whatever its type, whether it is private photos, private messages, or even health data.
This represents a direct objection to privacy lovers and those seeking to protect their data, as it is like giving companies greater control over our data and making them able to make some decisions on behalf of the user.
Real progress or additional power?
The companies have all demonstrated the impressive technical capabilities of their artificial intelligence systems and agents, but the real question remains: Can the companies actually deliver what they promised? Apple, for example, previously promised such features in 2024, but has not offered them until today.
The development of artificial intelligence agent technologies by Apple, Google, and Microsoft also raises a fundamental question about the amount of power we give to such companies that own the operating systems and hardware that the user relies on on a daily basis.
So the real question remains, does the technology of AI agents built into the system really make a difference? Or is it just a tool to enhance the power of technical companies over users?
