On September 7, 2026, it was reported that WeChat is in the process of internally testing a new feature named "Xiaowei AI Social." This innovative function allows users' Xiaowei AI to engage in conversations with their friends' Xiaowei AI. After the initial interaction, both parties can relay the outcomes back to their respective users, who will then receive reminders when confirmation is needed. Concurrently, WeChat is also undertaking a small-scale internal test of its native AI assistant, "Xiaowei." Users can activate this assistant by clicking on the icon located in the top-left corner of the WeChat main interface. The Xiaowei AI assistant supports both text and voice conversations, enabling users to perform native WeChat functions such as sending messages and managing their Moments. Furthermore, it can initiate mini-programs to facilitate services like appointment registration and ride-hailing. In addition to these features, Xiaowei AI is equipped with capabilities such as content searching, image generation, chat content summarization, and providing reply suggestions, enhancing the overall user experience.
