Abstract: Agentic data is synchronized between a first device and a second device of a user when the first device detects a discrepancy between a cloud data chunk and an edge data chunk that are generated within a time interval. The edge data chunk is stored on the first device and contains user preferences obtained from the user interacting with first one or more artificial intelligence (AI) models. The cloud data chunk is uploaded from the second device to the cloud and contains user preferences obtained from the user interacting with second one or more AI models. The cloud data chunk is downloaded to the first device when a second timespan of the cloud data chunk is at least partially outside a first timespan of the edge data chunk. An updated data chunk is generated and uploaded to the cloud as an after-sync data chunk containing updated user preferences.

Abstract: Multiple predefined requests are sent to each of the artificial intelligence (AI) models deployed on a device. For each predefined request, a multi-dimensional complexity vector is obtained from inference operations of each AI model. The multi-dimensional complexity vector indicates, in each dimension, a complexity value of the inference operations. The agentic level provided by each AI model is evaluated by calculating a combination of complexity values obtained from each predefined request and averaging over the predefined requests. When receiving a user request, a required agentic level of the user request is estimated. The user request is directed to one of the AI models that provides the required agentic level.

Abstract: An edge device provides an agentic framework to manage apps and artificial intelligence (AI) models used by the apps. An app and app metadata are downloaded from a cloud of servers to the device. The app metadata describes requirements of the app for AI models to be used by the app. The agentic framework performs a search in an on-device database that stores the app metadata and model metadata of edge models installed on the device. The search is performed to determine whether one of the edge models satisfies the requirements of the app. Following the search, the agentic framework sets a given edge model already installed on the device as a target model of the app, where the target model satisfies the requirements of the app. The agentic framework then directs the app to use the target model in response to a request for service.

Abstract: A device provides an agentic experience for a user. An agentic manager, which is a management app on the device for providing the agentic experience, receives a request from the user via a user interface. The agentic manager sends a prompt incorporating contextual information of the request to an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) model. The contextual information is retrieved from an on-device database and identifies one or more apps on the device. The agentic manager receives from the agentic AI model an action plan for calling a target app among the one or more of apps. The agentic manager sends action requests according to the action plan to the target app to invoke functionalities of the target app, and sends to the user via the user interface an output that incorporates a response generated by the target app.

Abstract: A device is in collaboration with a cloud. In response to a request for service, the device identifies one or more apps to serve the request by searching an on-device database that stores vector embeddings of features of on-device apps. The device ranks the features of the one or more apps based on similarities to requested features indicated in the request, and identifies an app having a highest-ranking feature as a target app. The device further identifies a target model for the target app. The target model is an edge artificial intelligence (AI) model when the highest-ranking feature is a local feature, or the target model is a cloud AI model when the highest-ranking feature is a non-local feature. The device then requests the target app to use the target model to serve the request.
