Generative AI has been making the rounds lately, with so many tech brands jumping on the AI bandwagon. Now, OnePlus is the latest one to do so.
Through its research arm, OneLab, the company seems to be developing several AI-powered tools and it’s asking users to share their insight. As noted in a community post from the brand, OnePlus is surveying users across North America, Europe and India to rate the usefulness of the company’s proposed AI features (via Android Authority).
“OneLab has been looking into how to make the most of this technology and has come up with some ideas. They’re excited to hear your thoughts on these ideas and figure out which ones could be really helpful,” the company wrote in the statement.

Although the company is contemplating a number of AI tools, the survey includes detailed descriptions and screenshots. This suggests that we could see some of OnePlus’ AI-powered assets sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, however, the brand is asking users’ opinions on the features. By asking them to rate the tool’s usefulness on a scale of 1 to 10. The AI tools that are listed in the survey include an AI-based short video creator app. As well as a personalized education app. The company is also asking for user input on several AI browser extensions for fact-checking information. In addition to finding jobs, checking if an image on a webpage was generated by AI, and generating summaries of webpages.
The survey is accessible to all users, regardless of whether or not they own a OnePlus phone. The company also hasn’t made it mandatory for users to disclose certain personal information. Such as age, gender or country of residence in the survey.
While OnePlus’ survey makes it abundantly clear that the company is ready to tackle generative AI technology, what is not clear yet is what large language modal it will use to develop these apps. It will be interesting to see if OnePlus will develop its own LLM or build upon an existing one like OpenAI’s GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing AI Chatbot and many others.
