Overview
Coze is an AI Agent intelligent office platform launched by ByteDance, positioned as an 'AI Agent Intelligent Office Platform', emphasizing 'Redefines Productivity and Efficiency with AI'. It enables zero-code visual building of conversational bots and workflow agents, which can be published to multiple channels such as Doubao, Feishu, Douyin, WeChat, web pages, and APIs with one click.
It has a domestic version **coze.cn** and an international version **coze.com**. The domestic version supports domestic models like Doubao, Doubao 1.5 Pro, Tongyi, Hunyuan, Zhipu GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, etc.; the international version supports overseas models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. **On July 26, 2025, the core code of the Coze platform (including Coze Studio and Coze Loop) was officially open-sourced (Apache 2.0),** marking the first large-scale open-sourcing of a domestic AI Agent platform, becoming another open-source option alongside competitors like Dify and FastGPT.
By 2026, Coze has evolved from a 'Bot factory' to a complete **Agent development and operation platform**: Coze Studio handles development, Coze Loop handles evaluation, monitoring, and iteration, along with plugin marketplace, knowledge base, long-term memory, voice cloning, and other extended capabilities, covering the full chain from prototype to production.
**On June 1, 2026, Coze 3.0 was fully launched**: The core upgrade is a leap from 'single-agent conversation' to '**multi-person multi-agent collaboration**'—enabling team members to collaborate with multiple agents simultaneously on complex tasks, with native support for **OpenClaw** access; synchronized updates on iOS/Android, Mac/Windows, and the coze.cn web version, covering agent team collaboration templates for professional scenarios like finance, self-media, healthcare, law, and scientific research.
