On August 12, during Tencent's 2026Q2 earnings conference call, Tencent President Liu Chiping discussed feedback from WeChat's AI “small and micro” gray test in the second quarter. He said that AI can make WeChat more intelligent, help users trade, explore content, and manage their daily lives. In the PC era, QQ is mainly a communication and social networking tool. In the era of mobile internet, WeChat has increased the value of QQ by more than 10 times. In the AI era, WeChat will become an AI-first ecosystem over time. The user gives an instruction, and the system will execute it on its own. He said that if Tencent can provide this kind of experience while controlling costs, and meet users' privacy needs and cost efficiency, it can give WeChat strong capabilities. “In the future, the WeChat ecosystem will expand and transform into huge value based on the current profit mechanism. This is the future we see. As the prototype was launched, we became more and more confident about it.”
