| Capability | What you get |
|---|---|
| Cowork sessions | Long-running tasks on local projects with streaming progress, a tool timeline, session forks, and approval prompts before file, shell, or network actions. |
| Artifacts and sharing | Live previews for HTML, SVG, Mermaid, images, video, Markdown, code, PDF, and Office files. Edit images in place and share results as a link. |
| Built-in browser | An in-app browser the agent can drive, with tabs, saved logins, and passkey support, for research and web workflows. |
| Computer use | Let the agent operate desktop apps on Windows x64 and macOS 13 or later. |
| Multiple agents | Create agents with their own identity, model, skills, and working folder, add ready-made experts from the Expert Plaza, and bind agents to chat channels. |
| Skills | Built-in skills for documents, spreadsheets, slides, PDFs, web search, browser automation, image and video generation, stock research, writing, email, and more. See SKILLs/. |
| MCP connectors | Add local or remote MCP servers from the marketplace, sign in with OAuth, and choose which tools each server exposes. |
| IM channels | WeChat, WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu/Lark, QQ, NetEase IM, NetEase Bee, POPO, Telegram, Discord, and email. Multi-instance platforms can route each bot to a different agent. |
| Desktop companion | A floating orb for quick tasks, screenshots, and actions on selected text, such as translating or reading aloud. |
| Memory and Dreaming | Durable memory files, plus optional scheduled "Dreaming" runs that consolidate what the agent learned, so preferences carry across sessions. |
| Models | Built-in models (DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax, and more) after sign-in, or your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. |
| Library | Every file your agents create, collected in one place across sessions, both local and shared. |
| Scenario | Example prompt |
|---|---|
| Build a local tool | "I still track inventory and sales in Excel. Build a local inventory system that records purchases and sales, calculates stock and profit, and opens in my browser." |
| Analyze local data | "Use product-growth.xlsx to build a visual dashboard and summarize the main growth drivers." |
| Make a deck | "Research the AI agent market and turn the findings into a presentation." |
| Check a web dashboard | "Open the ads dashboard every morning, check spend and conversion anomalies, and summarize likely causes." |
| Screen documents | "Turn the resumes in this folder into a screening sheet and shortlist the strongest candidates against the JD." |
| Run scheduled work | "Every weekday at 9 AM, collect yesterday's AI news and send me a concise digest." |
