On January 27, 2026, Baidu's Wenxin App unveiled the industry's pioneering 'multi-person, multi-AI agent' group chat capability, marking the commencement of a fresh round of beta testing. Users can look for the group chat entry after updating the App to its newest version and start exploring this novel feature. This functionality enables the simultaneous activation of numerous AI roles within a single group chat, encompassing specialized intelligent agents like the 'Group Chat Assistant,' 'Personal Assistant,' and 'Health Manager,' all geared towards effective problem-solving and delivering tangible outcomes. The AI assistants within the group chat possess the ability to comprehend context, discern the most opportune moments to intervene based on the ongoing discussion dynamics, and respond proactively with response times swiftly measured in seconds. Presently, this feature is undergoing a limited-scale beta testing phase, with an anticipated official rollout in early February.
