AI integration is changing the workday in profound ways. Once a niche technology, AI is now an integral part of the mobile technology workers rely on throughout the day — from the start of the workday to late meetings, travel and everything in between. That includes wearables, too, with leading smartwatch models providing access to many of the same AI tools found on laptops, tablets and mobile devices.

Because it’s on your wrist, a smartwatch also puts AI assistance literally at hand. For multitasking workers on the go, that can boost productivity in several key ways, starting with these:

Convenient AI support from anywhere

Wearable devices like Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Samsung GalaxyWatch9 make AI easier to access for employees on the move. On both smartwatches, users can access Google Gemini simply by raising their wrist when the Raise to Talk feature is enabled. After performing the gesture, look for the blue light on the watch and start talking in natural language.

That’s especially useful when reaching for another device is difficult, for example when someone has their hands full or can’t be bothered to fish for a phone or tablet. It’s particularly convenient outdoors, which Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is built for, with a rugged titanium design and IP69K and 10 ATM ratings against water and dust.

Work without breaking your flow

When employees are focused on a task, stopping to pull out a mobile device or a computer to use AI tools may interrupt momentum. Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 give them another way to access AI without stopping midstream.

Google Gemini can help employees handle quick side quests while continuing the main task. Someone could ask about an upcoming appointment, send a quick message or retrieve information directly from their wrist.

For a field worker handling equipment or an employee moving between meetings, significant hassle is removed. Indeed, wearable workflows are already letting industries like hospitality take operations to the next level.

The upgraded battery life on Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 — up to 80 and 40 hours, respectively — helps keep AI at the ready throughout the workday and when it’s most needed.

AI that anticipates your day

A key shift in modern AI is that it no longer has to wait for a prompt. It can increasingly surface useful information automatically as circumstances change.

On both Samsung watches and Galaxy mobile devices, Now Brief gives users a personalized overview of information relevant to their day. For example, rather than simply alerting someone that a meeting is coming up, Now Brief can place that meeting within a broader personalized briefing that incorporates other events, tasks and information. That gives users a more complete view of what needs their attention than a basic calendar notice.

The feature launches from the Now Bar widget, making it easier to follow live updates and ongoing activities. Now Bar, in general, gives users a quicker way to keep up with what is happening without digging through multiple apps, whether it’s a meeting in progress, a media player or an active timer.

Together, these features help users stay oriented throughout the day. A glance at the wrist can show both what is coming up and what is happening right now.

One connected Galaxy AI experience

Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 are part of the broader Galaxy ecosystem, giving professionals another way to access AI as they move between devices and tasks.

A worker might start on the watch by checking an update or asking a quick question, then move to a Galaxy mobile device when they need more detail. For deeper work, they can switch to a Galaxy Book computer with a larger screen and keyboard.

That connected experience gives employees more flexibility to use the device that best fits the task, while helping streamline operations by making AI assistance available across more of their workflow.

Less friction, more productivity

Mobile productivity is all about having the right tools and information at the right time. Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 bring that assistance closer to the flow of work, helping employees handle quick tasks, stay informed and keep moving with AI available directly from the wrist.

That can reduce small points of friction throughout the day and give professionals more freedom to stay focused on the task at hand.
