Citigroup published a report stating that Tencent (00700.HK) announced the official integration of the QQ open platform into the OpenClaw artificial intelligence agent platform, with support from the Tencent Cloud team to install the OpenClaw agent on user devices for free. This has sparked a new wave of "lobster" craze among Chinese internet users, which could be a potential turning point for the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence agents by ordinary users.

The bank believes that Tencent's move has several reasons and impacts. With the popularity of QQ and free installation support, Tencent can quickly educate users on how to use artificial intelligence agents, allowing it to accumulate user behavior data, which will help better assess the effectiveness of the artificial intelligence agents. This will be beneficial for the development and evolution of systems and agent platforms within the WeChat ecosystem in the future. By attracting a large number of users through its Lighthouse cloud server, it will enhance the participation in cloud services and future potential monetization opportunities. As more chat tools and models begin to integrate with OpenClaw, the bank believes this may accelerate the development of general artificial intelligence in China.

Citigroup reiterated its "Buy" rating on Tencent, with a target price of 783 yuan
