Tencent's Marvis introduces coding butler for remote AI programming tasks

On October 29, 2026, Tencent's AI assistant Marvis launched 'Coding Manager,' expanding its remote computer control capabilities to include the invocation of desktop AI tools for programming tasks. The feature initially supports CodeBuddy IDE and Kimi Code Desktop, allowing users to manage projects and continue conversations from their mobile devices. Marvis, positioned as a 24-hour AI assistant, now offers a dedicated manager for coding scenarios, enabling users to check project progress, respond to modifications, and continue work remotely. The new tool integrates seamlessly with Marvis' existing managers, such as PC Manager, File Manager, and Software Manager, providing a unified interface for task execution. Users can access Coding Manager via the Marvis mobile app, where they can view project lists, chat windows, and add files or photos. The anti-sleep function on the desktop client ensures continuous task execution even when users are away from their computers. This update continues Marvis' service model of initiating tasks on mobile devices and executing them on computers, with confirmation and viewing done remotely. With plans to support more AI programming tools, Marvis aims to enhance productivity for developers through seamless remote collaboration.
