Tencent President Martin Lau on WeChat Agent: Can do a lot of practical things, currently no specific timetable

According to 1M AI News monitoring, at Tencent Holdings' 2025 Performance Communication Meeting, Tencent's CEO, Liu Chiping, responded to the latest progress of the WeChat Agent. He stated that Tencent has been trying out many AI functionalities in WeChat over the past period. The intention is to first preview in WeChat to pave the way for the future WeChat Agent. WeChat is in close contact with users, has a very rich ecosystem, and provides a good business model, enabling many practical tasks. It is believed that this can benefit various partners.

Liu Chiping mentioned that there are still many challenges in this process. For example, ensuring user privacy and security, and the current general models do not easily address many unique WeChat features, requiring further enhancement of model capabilities. Additionally, WeChat has a large user base, requiring very high inference capabilities to support such a user scale. There is currently no specific timetable, but progress is being actively made.
