ByteDance's Feishu has officially launched the Aily agent, the enterprise collaboration platform's equivalent to OpenClaw.

The agent allows enterprise users to quickly activate and own a dedicated AI office assistant deeply embedded in their workflows with a single click, according to a statement on Thursday.

The goal of the product is to transform AI from a mere supplementary tool into real workplace productivity, marking Feishu's further expansion in the artificial intelligence sector.

Since the Chinese New Year, OpenClaw has rapidly gained traction among developers and enterprise users, with Feishu emerging as the preferred instant messaging tool for accessing the ecosystem.

Data from the OpenClaw-China community earlier this month showed that Feishu accounts for 65.2% of all instant messaging tools in China connected to OpenClaw.

Aily integrates seamlessly into daily workflows, offering the ability to understand complex business contexts in real time and proactively deliver work results.

To address more complex commercial application needs, Feishu simultaneously rolled out Aily Pro, alongside various dedicated agent tools tailored for enterprise-level scenarios.

The new professional version supports parallel multi-tasking and the automatic breakdown of complex tasks, while also generating professional outputs such as data reports and cloud documents for users.

The official debut of Aily reflects the increasingly fierce market competition among major Chinese tech giants in the desktop artificial intelligence space.

Previously, ByteDance's Volcano Engine launched a cloud-based version of ArkClaw, while Alibaba and Tencent have also recently released their respective office AI agent products to the market.

Feishu hopes to enable everyone to have their own smart working partner this year, CEO Xie Xin said.

China's active AI agents will top 350 million by 2031, driving a more than 30-fold annual surge in token consumption, according to IDC.
