To lower the development threshold, the platform also offers software and hardware products such as voice interaction boards, multimodal interaction boards, Spark Super Brain Board 2.0, and embodied interaction modules, and accelerates products from prototype validation to mass production through reference designs and complete-device solutions.

Agent OS debuts, enabling enterprise agents to form a "relay race"

Addressing the needs of complex business division of labor, cross-system collaboration, and process automation, the iFlytek Open Platform released Agent OS for the first time and, together with APA, built an enterprise-level Agent capability system. Among them, Agent OS is responsible for organizational collaboration and task scheduling, while APA is responsible for automated execution of business processes, driving AI from model invocation toward an end-to-end business closed loop.

Agent OS organizes collaboration among employees, agents, and business systems through "scenario packages," and optimizes skills and processes by combining organization-level context engineering and continuous evolution mechanisms. Practical data shows that cross-system collaboration efficiency improves by 90%, and more than 75% of processes can flow autonomously.
