The update

The MiniMax Agent desktop has recently launched two significant feature updates designed to optimize how agents interact with user devices and daily applications. The first is the Pocket feature, currently in Beta, which enables deep integration with mainstream instant messaging tools such as Feishu and WeChat. Users can issue commands directly to their computers within chat interfaces without switching apps. The agent automatically executes tasks and returns results to the conversation window, significantly enhancing workflow continuity. The second update is the Computer Use function, which grants the agent human-like visual perception and operational capabilities. The agent can now recognize screen content and autonomously control the mouse and keyboard to make precise adjustments to locally installed software and system settings. Together, these updates strengthen MiniMax Agent's automation execution capabilities in complex desktop environments, allowing it to integrate more naturally into users' digital lives and work scenarios.
