Orange launches Orange France super-app with AI aggregator

What is inside

The app brings together the customer area (contracts, bills, usage, equipment), Orange mailbox, Orange TV on mobile, the Orange Cybersecure tools with call and SMS blockers and a phishing detector, and Maison protégée for subscribers of that option. It also has a social-style News tab and access to the Orange shop for new or refurbished devices.

Partner mini-apps run without a download: AlloCiné Mini, Deezer Hits, Playzer Originals, Quizz de Génie and ViaMichelin. They rely on technology from Tencent, the company behind WeChat. Orange says it will pick its partners itself rather than build an app store, and plans one major update a month. Its other apps, including Mail Orange and TV d'Orange, will eventually be shut down, but they will keep receiving updates for several months. The app works without an Orange subscription; a free account is enough.

Three AI services

A search-bar assistant based on OpenAI's GPT-5.6 understands questions about offers, equipment or bills and directs users to the right page. A cyber assistant, free for everyone, analyses screenshots of suspicious SMS messages, QR codes, numbers or links.

The third, Orange IAs, aggregates models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and Mistral and lets users compare their answers. Orange IAs Découverte is free with an Orange account. Orange IAs Plus costs 10 euros a month with no commitment or trial, and is reserved for Orange and Sosh customers. It offers more powerful models, higher quotas, better image generation and document analysis up to 20 MB.

The challenge is convincing people beyond its own subscribers and standing out from AI assistants that are already popular. A version adapted to the iPhone Duo is in development, according to Orange.
