Tencent began the internal beta of 鹅次元, a Windows AI game companion that can reportedly interpret on-screen game information and interact with players in real time. According to Tencent product details cited by DataEye, it uses visual recognition, multimodal dialogue, character memory, text and voice messages, and real-time calls, while supporting companion chat through PC and mobile QQ. The beta includes characters 夏夏, 沈露白, 谷雨, and 贝拉, although DataEye says 贝拉 is not yet open; desktop-pet, wallpaper, speech-substitute, and voice-changing features are described as forthcoming.
