UOS AI Evolves Further: The MCP Ecosystem Takes Shape

UOS AI 2.9 breaks new ground by leveraging the open MCP ecosystem to enable complex tasks via simple natural language commands. Users can now integrate third-party tools and control both the system and applications effortlessly.
Examples include:
