Ant Lingguang internally tests personal Agent, now able to operate home printers
Beating AI news flash: Ant Group's AI assistant, Lingguang, is conducting a limited internal test of personal Agent capabilities, moving closer to Meta Muse. The new version adds a “My Life” page, emphasizing long-term memory and proactive task execution. Users can have it continuously monitor product prices, follow travel plans, and manage vaccination reminders, then proactively notify them when changes occur.
This upgrade also supports connections to external applications and smart devices. Cyber Zen demonstrated that Lingguang connected to 13 devices at home through an open-source Mijia interface. He had Lingguang generate a home-device manual and then successfully invoked a Xiaomi printer to complete printing. The new version can also connect to services such as DingTalk via Skill and MCP(protocols for connecting external tools).
The related capabilities began preparation around half a year ago, underwent multiple iterations, and are planned for full release this October. Previously, Lingguang mainly provided AI conversations and one-sentence generation of small applications; it is now beginning to evolve into a personal Agent that continuously handles tasks for users.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Personal Agent can be understood as not only answering questions, but also remembering long-term matters, continuously monitoring changes, and invoking external services or devices to execute tasks when needed. Examples in the report include tracking product prices, following travel plans, reminding users about vaccinations, and operating home printers.MCP is explained in the original text as a protocol for connecting external tools.
Why it matters to readers
If these capabilities are released as reported, Lingguang's positioning will expand from conversation and generating small applications to continuously handling users' everyday affairs and connecting applications and smart devices.
Beginners can watch whether it simplifies reminders, plan follow-up, and home-device operation, while understanding the scope of permissions before authorizing external services or devices.
