Galaxy AI includes multiple tools that apply artificial intelligence to specific user tasks, such as communication, notetaking, photography, and productivity. Each tool is categorized by function and operates within Samsung's software environment.
Communication
Call Assist
Provides translation-related features within the default Phone app on supported Galaxy devices. It includes Live Translate, which enables two-way voice and text translation during calls, and Text Call, which converts speech into real-time text and generates responses. These tools aim to support communication across different languages and offer alternatives to voice-based interaction.[9][10][11] Text Call does not involve AI processing and is available on all devices supporting One UI 6.1 or later.
Call Screening
An AI assistant feature that answers calls from unknown numbers on behalf of the user to identify the caller’s purpose and identity in advance. Call Screening identifies unknown or unrecognized callers and can automatically answer calls on behalf of the user, asking the caller to state their name and purpose. It can be configured in the Samsung Phone app, and displays the call content as real-time text with a summary, allowing the user to filter spam calls and choose whether to answer, decline, or block the call. [12][13]
Writing Assist
A feature integrated into the Samsung Keyboard that supports tasks such as translation, sentence composition, and text correction. It offers tools for adjusting phrasing, grammar, and tone across supported apps, including messaging and email platforms. Suggested replies may also be generated based on context.[14][15][16]
Transcript Assist
A function within the Samsung Voice Recorder app allows recorded speech to be converted into text. It supports additional features such as basic summarization and translation, depending on the content and system configuration. These tools are intended to improve audio processing efficiency within the app.
Interpreter
A translation feature on Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1 or later, offering real-time spoken and on-screen translations for two-way face-to-face conversations. It supports over a dozen languages and includes a screen-flip view so each speaker can read translations in their own language. Offline use is available with downloaded language packs.[17]

Personalization
Now Brief
A daily summary interface introduced in One UI 7 and updated in One UI 8. It presents scrollable cards with updates such as weather, calendar events, smart home status, and hydration reminders. One UI 8 added a “Listen Brief” feature using on-device text-to-speech. Now Brief also serves as a visual output surface for Gemini Live, displaying AI-generated summaries and follow-up suggestions in card format. These cards are dynamically updated based on the user's schedule and app usage, and are accessible via the Now Bar.[18][19]
It was firstly exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series,[20] but with the One UI 8 update it was also released for the S24 series.[21]

Portrait Studio
A portrait creation feature that generates stylized images from photos or sketches using AI-based image processing. Users can apply effects such as lighting or background adjustments through touch or S Pen input. It can be used together with the Best Face tool, which captures multiple images in succession and enables the selection of preferred facial expressions. The feature is accessible in the Samsung Gallery app.[44][46][47][48]
Generative Edit
An image editing function that allows users to remove objects, expand backgrounds, or resize content using automated generation tools. Modified areas are filled in algorithmically based on surrounding visual context. Related software options such as Expert RAW and Enhance-X offer additional processing functions, including sharpening, noise reduction, and camera shift correction. Hardware specifications also affect the use of generative editing; for example, the Galaxy S25 Ultra includes a 200 MP wide lens, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and both 10 MP and 50 MP telephoto lenses with up to 5× optical zoom, which can provide higher-resolution source material for editing.[49][50][51][52][53]
Best Face
A photo optimization feature that automatically selects and composites the most favorable facial expressions of subjects captured in a motion photo. The feature analyzes multiple frames taken in quick succession and identifies faces with open eyes, smiles, or minimal motion blur to generate a single improved image. Processing uses AI-based face detection and frame analysis to compare frames. Best Face can be accessed in the Samsung Gallery app through the “Choose best face” option. [54][55]
Audio Eraser
A post-processing feature that allows users to remove background noise or specific audio elements—such as voices, wind, or crowd sounds—from recorded videos. It uses AI-based audio separation to isolate and reduce unwanted sound components. While primarily software-driven, supporting systems such as the ProVisual Engine improve visual clarity and reduce noise in source video, indirectly enhancing audio separation accuracy. The feature is available in the Samsung Gallery app and can be accessed during video editing.[56]
Auto Trim
A video editing function that detects and selects portions of footage based on visual or contextual patterns, enabling the assembly of shorter clips without manual editing. It is supported by AI-powered video analytics that assess scene composition and motion. High-resolution recording modes, such as 8K video capture, provide additional flexibility for cropping and reframing segments during editing. Optical Zoom systems included in the S25 series also contribute to framing inputs.[57][58]
Instant Slo-Mo
A post-processing function that generates slow-motion playback by interpolating additional frames between existing ones. It is activated during video playback in the Gallery app by tapping and holding the screen, without the need for prior selection of a specific recording mode. AI frame interpolation, analyzes consecutive frames and predicts intermediate frames, allowing smooth slow-motion effects even for standard recordings captured at 30 or 60 frames per second. Native high-frame-rate recording, available up to 960fps, enables feature such as Super Slo-Mo. Instant Slo-Mo may be used with Log video, which captures a flat profile for dynamic range, and Galaxy Log, Samsung's AI-based grading tool. These functions allow additional control in post-production.[59][60][61][62]
Assist
Bixby
Bixby is a voice recognition–based assistant that allows users to operate Galaxy devices and connected products using spoken commands. It can control smartphone settings, perform searches, manage schedules, and interact with other Samsung devices such as Galaxy Watch and SmartThings home appliances. Bixby also supports Bixby Routines, an automation feature that performs preset actions based on user preferences or contextual triggers. Bixby can be accessed in the device settings through the Advanced Features menu under the Bixby option.[63][64][65]
With the release of the Galaxy S26 series in February 2026, Perplexity AI has been integrated into the Bixby assistant.[66]
