Text | Wang Xinyi Editor | Zhang Yuxin "Technological breakthroughs determine how fast AI can go, and whether it can truly create value determines how far AI can go." At this year's WAIC Tencent AI Application Innovation Forum, Lin Songtao, vice president of Tencent, shared such a view. Also products launched after the "Claw craze", Tencent's three major agent products WorkBuddy, QClaw and Marvis ushered in different fates. The first is WorkBuddy. Lin Songtao publicly stated at this forum that WorkBuddy’s DAU has firmly ranked first in domestic efficiency intelligent products; in terms of QClaw, related businesses and some teams have also undergone adjustments recently and been merged into WorkBuddy. department, but the QClaw product will still continue to operate; Marvis, which was launched the latest, has taken a differentiated system-level agent route. Lin Songtao revealed that Marvis has opened up a new situation among users, with more than 300,000 DAU in the two days since its launch, and a seven-day retention of about 54%. Discussions on WorkBuddy and QClaw remain high. In addition to the popularity, we would like to talk about the Marvis product. Different from Claw products, Marvis does not take the general Agent route and focuses on system-level operations. Cai Jiantao, head of Marvis, revealed that in terms of user scenario distribution, local file-related capabilities account for the highest proportion (44%), followed by computer hardware management (28%) and browser tasks (18%), and application-related capabilities account for 16%. Unexpectedly, only about 6% of users use it to search for information. "Users have a very clear understanding of the product's cognitive positioning, and almost no users think it is a bean bag or a gold ingot." Marvis has already initiated the project in early 2025, which is internally named "Device AI Assistant". From project establishment to official release, Marvis's design went through three versions of overthrow and redo. Simple lines, visual and interesting pony working scenes, and red scarves that are in line with QQ Penguin, it can be seen that they do not want to make a user threshold comparison
