Jexi is an upcoming American comedy film written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. It stars Adam DeVine, Alexandra Shipp, Michael Peña, Rose Byrne, Justin Hartley, Wanda Sykes, Ron Funches, and Charlyne Yi. This would be the last theatrical film by CBS Films, as it announced in early 2019 that it would be absorbed into CBS Corporation's Entertainment group and switch to making films for CBS All Access.[1] It is scheduled to be released on October 11, 2019.[2]

Synopsis

"Phil has a major dependency issue - he's addicted to his phone. He has no friends, he has a job writing pop culture 'Top 10' lists, and his love life is non-existent. But his Facebook status is about to change. When he is forced to upgrade his phone, the latest model comes with an unexpected feature... Jexi – an A.I. life coach, virtual assistant and cheerleader. With her help, Phil begins to get a real life. But as he becomes less dependent on his phone, Jexi's artificial intelligence morphs into a tech nightmare determined to keep Phil all to herself, even if it means ruining his chances of finding success."
