On May 25, Tencent’s ima announced that its Copilot feature—which attracted over 100,000 users to join the waitlist—is now fully available to everyone. Simply updating to the latest version grants immediate access without needing to sign up for the queue. Following roughly a month of phased testing, this AI assistant designed as a personal Agent has evolved from a mere ‘knowledge base tool’ into a truly ‘memory-enabled Agent.’ On April 29, ima removed the dot from its product name to signify this strategic shift.
What sets Copilot apart is its four-module memory system: Soul (which governs conversation style), User (recording user identity and habits), Memory (tracking ongoing projects), and Agent (accumulating task execution experience). This framework aims to resolve a common pain point among standard AI chatbots—namely, their inability to retain context between interactions, forcing users to re-explain everything each time.
Functionally, Copilot can directly access files, notes, and materials stored within ima, enabling seamless cross-document summarization and content generation without manual copying/pasting. It also features a floating window mode that detects whatever users are viewing at any given moment, facilitating context-aware operations. Regarding model options, aside from Tencent Hunyuan’s official models, users may integrate third-party APIs like DeepSeek, Claude, and GPT via custom API Keys; additionally, the Skill module allows tailored expansions. Meanwhile, ima launched a dedicated ‘Knowledge & Skills Sharing Platform,’ where users can publish or subscribe to pre-built knowledge bases and workflow templates. First released in October 2024, ima currently supports Windows, macOS, and mobile devices.
