□ 大河财立方 记者 陈薇 1月26日，腾讯旗下AI助手"元宝"正式开启"元宝派"功能内测。不同于豆包、千问及手机厂商AI产品多 聚焦工作、消费等单一场景，"元宝派"锚定多人真实社交场景，成为腾讯发力AI社交赛道的重要布局。 作为腾讯混元大模型赋能的重点产品，元宝派深度打通微信、QQ两大社交生态，用户可自由创建或加 入主题化"派"社群，通过@元宝即可触发AI聊天总结、表情包生成等场景化服务。据悉，后续公测阶段 还将上线接入腾讯会议音视频能力的"一起看""一起听"功能，实现好友同步观影、听歌的沉浸式社交体 验。 AI切入社交场景，意味着其从被动响应指令的效率工具，升级为主动参与群体互动的"社交伙伴"，完成 了从"工具依赖"到"关系依赖"的关键转变，也为AI技术开辟了高频次、高黏性的全新应用场景。值得注 意的是，在元宝派内测前四天，即1月22日，百度文心App已披露正在内测多人、多Agent群聊功能，该 功能支持在同一群聊中调用多个AI角色，AI可根据讨论氛围主动应答，这也意味着头部企业对AI社交 赛道的布局已形成竞速态势。 相较于同行，腾讯虽非AI社交赛道的先发者，但其沉淀二十余年的社交生态优势，让元宝派构筑了 ...

Group 2: Competitive Landscape and Challenges - Yuanbao must not only demonstrate its ability to distribute cash but also create new value interactions that transcend monetary incentives, a challenge given WeChat's established social habits [9]. - WeChat remains a highly sticky super app, but it faces challenges as its core communication and social functions may have reached saturation, with average daily usage time declining from 85.51 minutes to 69.97 minutes [10]. - The development of Yuanbao and the secretive social product "Yuanbao Pai" suggests that Tencent is positioning Yuanbao as a pioneer for social applications in the AI era [11][20]. Group 3: Innovation and Future Implications - By launching Yuanbao as a standalone app, Tencent aims to innovate in a more flexible environment, free from the constraints of WeChat's existing interface and user interactions [13][14]. - The ultimate goal of this exploration may not be to replace WeChat but to discover new directions for its evolution and to validate models that could be integrated into WeChat in the future [18]. - The success of Yuanbao could lead to the development of sustainable user engagement models in AI-driven social interactions, which could be crucial for WeChat's adaptation to the AI era [17][22].
