In June 2026, WeChat began a gray-release test of its first-screen AI assistant "Xiaowei." According to a Huxiu report, Xiaowei can be invoked from 16 locations, including official accounts, Moments, and chat images, and can send messages, change settings, and launch mini programs on command, creating a permission gap with Yuanbao, which can only converse. The report says Xiaowei mainly uses the WeChat team's WeLM; ordering and "AI-assisted writing" stop at the payment page and the pending-publish state, respectively, and operations in the two categories of fund payment and personal expression still require manual confirmation by the user.

Day 130 of Xiaowei's gray release: WeChat breaks mini programs into parts and hands them to AI
It has been 130 days since WeChat's native AI assistant "Xiaowei" launched. Its entry points have expanded from the 16 officially disclosed to 28 measured by third parties, covering chat, search, official accounts, Channels, and PC. Through the developer integration guide released on June 8, WeChat requires developers to break mini programs into atomic interfaces and atomic components and write SKILL documentation; mini programs that have not integrated will be unable to be recommended and invoked by WeChat AI. The article also mentions that the development model must pass platform evaluation (80 points or above in the three items of service delivery, interaction experience, and performance quality, and 60 points or above in scenario coverage) to be eligible for invocation, while the invocation ranking rules have not yet been made public.
