Today, there are media reports indicating that Tencent officials have stated that they are currently unable to determine when the WeChat AI intelligent body will be launched, as its launch time largely depends on the regulatory approval progress of the intelligent body.
According to media reports yesterday, Tencent (00700) is about to launch a WeChat AI Agent for 1.4 billion Chinese users, which can help users complete various tasks within the application. According to two informed sources, Tencent is testing the prototype of the Agent and plans to start the formal compliance process before launching this month. Media reports today stated that Tencent officials said they cannot confirm when the WeChat AI intelligent body will be launched, as the online time largely depends on the approval progress of the regulatory authorities, with WeChat's 1.4 billion user base, the compliance process may be stricter than other products. The report mentioned that Tencent related officials had no response to the WeChat intelligent body. Previously, Tencent has launched three main Agent products - QClaw, WorkBuddy, and OpenClaw, targeting individuals, enterprises, and developers. The company also recently launched an operating system-level AI assistant Marvis, which has 6 specialized Agents online 24/7. Tencent President Liu Chiping said in last month's analyst financial report conference call, "In addition to basic large models, AI Agents with autonomous execution capabilities have shown breakthrough application value. The WeChat platform naturally has multiple advantages to support AI Agents."
