大厂AI To B大战，这回战场为什么是办公？

TL;DR - Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance are shifting AI commercialization toward enterprise office agents after consumer chatbots struggled to monetize and China’s coding-assistant market proved limited. The contest matters because existing workplace ecosystems, enterprise data, and cloud infrastructure could turn agent usage into recurring B2B revenue—but inference costs and sustained customer willingness to pay remain unresolved.

• Tencent’s WorkBuddy uses product-led growth: attract individual professionals first, then expand into team and enterprise deployments.
• Alibaba’s Qwen Office combines QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun, leveraging DingTalk’s enterprise relationships and Alibaba Cloud’s data, deployment, and sales channels.
• ByteDance is integrating Doubao’s AI capabilities, Feishu’s workplace context, and Volcano Engine’s cloud commercialization and go-to-market operations.
• Profitability depends on embedding agents into real workflows while ensuring token- or credit-based revenue covers rising model and compute costs.
