Tencent yuanqi platform ceases operations, halting data export requests after january 2027

Tencent has officially shut down the Yuanqi platform, immediately suspending all public services including application access, data read/write functions, API calls, and console usage. Furthermore, any intelligent agents previously published via Yuanqi to channels like WeChat Official Accounts will no longer respond to user conversations. The platform stopped allowing the creation of new intelligent agents and the distribution of API Keys starting on November 29th of the current year. Users are currently able to submit data export requests through the control panel, but the system will cease accepting these requests after January 9, 2027. Following this date, Tencent will delete all user data, excluding legally required logs, urging users to complete backups beforehand. For users who purchased resource packages on the Tencent Cloud website using the older Yuanqi entry point and still have unused resources or account balances, a refund application is available on the Tencent Cloud site. Alternatives to Yuanqi, such as the Tencent Cloud Agent Development Platform (ADP) and WeChat Official Account intelligent replies, offer comparable functionalities. This platform was initially introduced by Tencent at the Tencent Cloud Generative AI Industry Application Summit on May 17, 2024, as a one-stop platform for intelligent agent creation and distribution.
