36Kr Report Infographic | "2026 China AI Agent Industry Development Research Report"

In 2026, as the capabilities of foundational models continue to mature and reasoning costs decline, the value focus of AI is shifting from "simple conversations" to "decision-making and execution". AI Agents take large language models as the decision-making core, integrate capabilities of environmental perception, long-term memory, planning reasoning and tool invocation, and can independently understand goals, break down tasks, invoke tools and deliver results with little human intervention. Currently, the AI Agent market has moved from proof of concept to productivity verification.

 Recently, 36Kr Research Institute released the *2026 Research Report on the Development of China's AI Agent Industry* (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). China's AI Agent industry is entering the early stage of productivity verification and commercialization expansion: general enterprise Agents have taken the lead in implementation, industry-specific vertical Agents are accelerating large-scale deployment, personal consumer Agents are being rapidly explored, and edge-side and embodied Agents are still in the stage of ecological layout and early verification.
