en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 6, 2026, Huawei officially announced the launch of the "Today-Task Skill" feature on the minus one screen of the HarmonyOS 6 system. This feature integrates the task processing updates of the AI digital assistant Claw into the minus one screen in real time. From progress tracking to result presentation, users no longer need to open a computer or switch between multiple apps; they can simply swipe right on their phone's desktop to synchronously view task progress.
Today-Task Skill is not a traditional memo manually created by humans, but a dynamically operating AI task adapter. It maps the backend operational status of the AI digital assistant Claw in real time—when Claw completes a market research report, finishes processing a batch of data analysis, or generates a set of design drafts, the processing results are proactively displayed in card form in the service update area at the top of the minus one screen. Users can swipe right to enter the minus one screen to check task status and browse output results, eliminating the need to repeatedly open the computer interface or constantly refresh various application windows.
The implementation of this feature is built upon a systematic restructuring of the minus one screen's information architecture in HarmonyOS 6. Huawei did not define the minus one screen as a simple collection of app shortcuts but reshaped it into a real-time information and service dynamic dashboard. After the launch of Today-Task Skill, the top area of the minus one screen simultaneously hosts diverse service cards such as schedule reminders, travel tickets, event updates, and express delivery/food orders. The task updates of the AI digital assistant Claw are integrated into this information flow system as an intelligent production category, forming a collaborative matrix of perception and execution layers with other lifestyle service cards. While checking flight ticketing information, users can see the business trip itinerary previously generated by Claw; while waiting for a package delivery, the product comparison analysis results already completed by Claw are also presented.
The feature's operation path is designed to be extremely lightweight. Users need to upgrade their system version to HarmonyOS 6.0.0.328SP34 or above, with the minus one screen app "Smart Assistant·Today" version no lower than 15.0.2.300. By entering the "My" page from the top left corner of the minus one screen, sequentially clicking "Settings—Dynamic Management—Linked Accounts," and following the instructions to complete the authorization and linking of the "Claw Agent," the feature can be officially activated.
From the perspective of technological evolution, the launch of Today-Task Skill marks a further deepening of integration with the capabilities of the AI digital assistant Claw. In early April 2026, the minus one screen of Huawei's HarmonyOS 6 system initiated internal beta testing for version 15.0.22.210, supporting the linking of the Claw Agent function for the first time and providing services such as AI task completion reminders. Within the following month, Claw itself underwent several major iterations—on April 17, Claw received the first terminal manufacturer Claw-type agent security certification from the CAICT, becoming the first terminal manufacturer AI digital assistant certified by a national-level think tank; on April 29, Claw was integrated into an inference model base and launched self-evolution capabilities, able to identify users' long-term preferences, reduce repetitive communication, and possess stronger Agent reasoning abilities in tasks such as information gathering, document processing, and content creation.
The launch of Today-Task Skill expands Claw's capability boundary from "an AI that completes tasks" to "the first touchpoint after task completion." Previously, Claw's interaction loop ended on the computer side, requiring users to specifically check after tasks were completed; now, the minus one screen becomes the retrieval layer for AI output, allowing real-time access to task results on the mobile phone. This signifies that Huawei is building a mobile-first AI interaction experience of "having an AI assistant by your side anytime, anywhere"—the AI handles deep thinking and execution, while the minus one screen handles lightweight result presentation and progress tracking.
At the HarmonyOS system level, this update also conveys a clearer strategic signal. On April 28, 2026, Huawei announced that the Huawei Developer Conference HDC 2026 will be held from June 12 to 14 in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, focusing on showcasing HarmonyOS AI core capabilities and ecosystem achievements, seen as a preview for the upcoming HarmonyOS 7.0. Previously, the Huawei Mate 90 series had revealed that HarmonyOS 7.0 would leverage on-device AI computing power to achieve autonomous decision-making and proactive service capabilities. The restructuring of the minus one screen with Today-Task Skill can precisely serve as an entry point for understanding the evolution of Huawei's AI strategy—AI is no longer a tool that needs to be invoked, but a service provider that proactively completes tasks and actively delivers results to the user.
