Tencent representative: At present, it is not possible to determine when the WeChat AI agent will be launched.

A Tencent representative stated that the launch date for WeChat’s AI agent remains undetermined, as its release largely hinges on regulatory approval—given WeChat’s 1.4 billion users, compliance procedures may be stricter than those for other products. Regarding the WeChat AI agent, a relevant Tencent executive declined to comment at this time. Earlier media reports claimed the WeChat AI agent is currently Tencent’s “top-priority, highly confidential internal project,” with preparations beginning no later than the first half of 2025. A Tencent representative confirmed this report. (Jin10)
