Another app? Smart thinks this one can earn its keep.

Smart Communications Inc. and TNT launched LiveSmart, combining the usual loading and bill payments with 5 percent cashback, discounted data packages, partner deals and access to artificial intelligence tools.

“With the rising cost of everyday expenses, Filipinos are becoming more deliberate about where they spend and how they can get more value from every peso,” Smart first vice president and officer-in-charge Lloyd R. Manaloto said.

More bang for your load

Smart and TNT subscribers can earn 5 percent cashback when buying load or paying Smart Postpaid bills through LiveSmart, while selected data packages cost slightly less inside the app.

The platform is also open to subscribers of other networks, potentially giving Smart a way to reach consumers outside its own mobile customer base.

AI in the mix

LiveSmart also offers limited-time free access to AI.Smart, which brings together ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, AWS Nova and Thinking Machines in one workspace.

Smart and TNT users can claim free credits using their mobile numbers and use the service for tasks including generating images, presentations, documents and spreadsheets.

Smart plans to add more lifestyle partners, deals and perks, expanding LiveSmart beyond the basic account-management functions of a telco app.
