TENCENT (00700.HK) announced the official integration of the QQ open platform into the OpenClaw AI agent platform, with support from the Tencent Cloud team to install OpenClaw agents on user devices for free, Citi said in its report. This sparked the latest "lobster" craze among Chinese internet users, potentially marking a new inflection point for the widespread adoption of AI agents by ordinary users.

Tencent's move has several reasons and impacts. With QQ's popularity and free installation support, Tencent can swiftly educate users on using AI agents, allowing it to accumulate user behavior data, which helps better assess the effectiveness of AI agents. This will aid future development and evolution of systems and agent platforms within the WeChat ecosystem.

By attracting a large number of users to adopt through its Lighthouse cloud servers, it will bode well for cloud service engagement and future potential monetization opportunities. As more chat tools and models begin to integrate with OpenClaw, the broker believed this may accelerate the development of general AI in China.

Citi reiterated its Buy rating for TENCENT, with a target price of HKD783.
