On May 20, Zhang Jun, Tencent’s PR director, announced that Marvis — an operating-system-level AI assistant developed by Tencent’s YINGYONGBAO team — officially launched. The official website (marvis.qq.com) now offers free downloads without requiring invitation codes; versions for Windows, Mac, and Android are available simultaneously. Marvis operates on a collaborative framework consisting of one supervisor agent and five specialist agents; all six AI components remain online 24/7. Users can issue commands via natural language to organize local files, comprehend and process documents (including chart generation and format conversion), perform system operations (such as disabling Windows ads or adjusting system settings), and even remotely control mobile devices from PCs. Additionally, Marvis supports an on-device privacy mode, allowing users to keep their data offline.
Unlike AI assistants like Yuanbao and Doubao that focus primarily on conversation and content creation, Marvis differentiates itself through its ability to directly manipulate underlying systems and execute tasks locally, integrating terminal systems, files, apps, computing power, and cross-device connectivity into a unified AI layer. The cross-platform capabilities previously honed by the YINGYONGBAO team have been directly applied to Marvis’s feature enabling PC-based control of mobile apps — this is precisely why the product was developed by YINGYONGBAO rather than Hunyuan or other AI teams. Industry analysts note that Marvis’s debut further confirms desktop agents are emerging as a key competitive frontier for AI applications in 2026; products such as Claude Cowork and QClaw have already entered this space, signaling a broader shift in AI application paradigms from mere ‘query-response interfaces’ toward ‘execution platforms.’
