MiniMax Agent Steps Up with Pocket Feature and Cross-Platform Control
MiniMax Agent Gets Major Upgrade: Now Works Across Apps and Controls Your Computer
MiniMax, the rising star in large AI models, just gave its desktop Agent a serious power boost. The latest update brings two features that could change how we interact with AI at work: the Pocket feature and Computer Use capability.
Pocket: Your AI Assistant Goes Mobile
Imagine having your AI assistant pop up right in your WeChat or Feishu chats - that's exactly what Pocket delivers. This clever feature serves as a bridge between AI and the apps you use daily:
- Works where you work: Summon the Agent directly within chat windows without switching apps
- Goes where you go: The Agent now moves seamlessly between devices, fitting into your mobile workflow
"It's like having a super-smart colleague who's always in your pocket," one beta tester remarked. No more app-hopping - just instant AI assistance where you need it most.
Computer Use: When AI Gets Hands-On
The more futuristic update? The Agent can now operate your computer like a human would. This means:
- Actual software control: From clicking icons to moving files between applications
- End-to-end task handling: Combining with MiniMax's Workspace to automate complex workflows
Users report the Agent can now manage everything from sorting messy folders to preparing full reports - all without constant verbal instructions.
Why This Matters
MiniMax isn't just adding features; they're reshaping the AI assistant game. Recent moves show their ambitions:
- Their M2.5 programming model now rivals Claude Opus 4.6
- New developer tools like MMX-CLI make building custom Agents easier
- The Remix Marketplace creates a complete ecosystem for AI agents
Industry watchers see this as a shift from AI as a novelty to AI as a practical work partner. When your assistant lives in your daily apps and handles real computer tasks, it stops being a chatbot and starts becoming a digital team member.
Key Points:
- Pocket feature brings AI into WeChat and Feishu conversations
- Computer Use capability lets the Agent operate software directly
- MiniMax building full ecosystem from models to marketplace
- Updates signal move toward practical, everyday AI assistance
