Tencent Yuanbao Launches Desktop Pet with Task Alerts and Drag-and-Drop File Import

Tencent Yuanbao has launched a trial version of its desktop pet, currently rolling out gradually. Windows and macOS users can upgrade the PC app to v2.87 or above, click the avatar in the bottom left corner, and go to "My Desktop Pet" to activate it.

The pet shows real-time progress for long tasks and plays a special animation when they're done. Double-click it to open the app, right-click to hide it, and drag it to the screen edge to snap it in place. Files and images can be dragged onto it to import into the app, so users don't need to switch between multiple apps.

The desktop pet supports copy translation and webpage reading assistance, helping users quickly grasp key points in long articles. It also reminds users to stand up, move around, and drink water.
