WeChat’s Xiaowei AI assistant has expanded across chat, search, Official Accounts, Channels, and PC, with WeChat citing 16 entry points and third-party testers counting 28. The assistant is being integrated into Mini Program discovery and fulfillment, using WeLM and, for some complex requests, DeepSeek, while developers can expose services through atomic interfaces, components, and SKILL instructions. TMTPost reports that shorter, clearly bounded tasks are performing better than compound workflows, but developer adoption, ranking, attribution, and task completion remain unresolved.

An original report by 镜相工作室, also published with authorization by 36氪 and 钛媒体, describes apps rapidly adding AI search, assistants, shopping guides and customer-service tools. It cites QuestMobile data showing that in 2025 the year-on-year growth in monthly per-user usage frequency and time for embedded AI plugins was 2.8 times and 3.3 times that of standalone AI apps, respectively; the figures were not independently verified in the supplied reports. User examples and interviews with several product managers point to resistance to low-value, intrusive or hard-to-disable features. Reported approaches include limited testing, simplifying entry points and initially offering standalone AI apps.
