For two days, I used EllaClaw on the TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra, TECNO’s premium flagship, to understand what it actually is and what it can do.

TECNO recently released EllaClaw, an AI agent within its on-device assistant, Ella. With EllaClaw, it is making a bigger bet: an AI agent that doesn’t just answer questions, but goes off and executes multi-step tasks on your behalf, across apps, without you tapping through each step yourself.

EllaClaw fits into the wider move among smartphone makers to put agentic AI on devices. It also signals a step forward for TECNO AI, the intelligent collection of software and hardware tools integrated across TECNO’s smart ecosystem.

What agentic AI means

Usually, a traditional voice assistant works in a single loop: you ask, it answers, and the interaction ends. It has no memory of why you asked and can’t chain actions together.
