Foreign media: Tencent is testing a prototype of WeChat's AI agent.

CoinFeed reported on June 2nd that, according to the Financial Times, Tencent is about to launch an embedded AI agent in WeChat. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Tencent is testing a prototype of this agent, which can help users complete various operations within WeChat. The company plans to initiate the necessary compliance approval process as early as this month. After compliance approval, Tencent will first conduct gray-scale testing with a small number of external users, and then gradually roll it out to all users in stages. The official launch date has not yet been determined. A person who saw an early demonstration of the product stated that users can simply swipe right on the WeChat main interface to bring up the AI ​​agent's dialogue window. Sources said that Tencent has listed this project as its highest strategic priority, and management is striving to refine the details, but large-scale deployment still faces the challenge of insufficient computing power. Tencent's initial internal estimates indicate extremely high costs, and it remains unclear whether sufficient revenue can be generated in the short term to cover these costs.
