Tencent Cloud Expands International AI Agent Suite to Indonesia to Accelerate Enterprise AI Adoption

Productivity agent WorkBuddy, creative agent Miora, and Model-as-a-Service platform TokenHub to help Indonesian enterprises leap from AI experimentation to real-world deployment

HONG KONG, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, expanded its international suite of AI agent solutions to the Indonesian market at its AI Executive Day summit held in Jakarta today.

The summit brought together more than 150 Indonesian enterprise leaders, technology executives and partners to explore how AI agent solutions can execute practical workflows in day-to-day business environments — from workplace productivity and creative production to model access and enterprise automation.

Enabling Indonesian enterprises to deploy AI Agents in real-world scenarios

Indonesian enterprises are moving fast on AI, with 57% naming it their top priority for the year ahead, and 66% planning to deepen their focus on agentic AI, according to a recent industry study[1].

Building on this momentum, Tencent Cloud introduced its suite of AI agent solutions to help enterprise teams and individual professionals automate workflows, moving beyond chatbots and content generation toward agents that plan, execute and automate multi-step tasks.

One of the key solutions unveiled is Tencent WorkBuddy, an agentic AI workspace productivity solution that turns a single instruction into a complete, ready-to-use deliverable. It is designed for office users to orchestrate agents to perform tasks like market research, data analysis and data illustration, drawing on specialized “Experts” across fields such as finance, law and marketing and more. It also enables users to integrate their large model of choice via APIs, and manage agentic workflows remotely through Discord, Slack and Telegram. Since launching in China, WorkBuddy has surpassed 8.85 million monthly active users within its first month, cementing it as one of the most widely embraced agent workplace solutions.

In addition, Tencent Cloud showcased Tencent Design Miora, an AI-native creative studio with persistent memory that helps designers, content creators and marketers maintain visual consistency across brands and campaigns. From a single natural-language brief, Miora orchestrates multiple Skills to deliver a production-ready asset pack — spanning graphics, video, 3D and UI — compressing creative cycles from weeks into hours.

As enterprises run more models and AI agents, token consumption rises quickly. In response, Tencent Cloud’s Model-as-a-Service platform, TokenHub, provides enterprises with API gateways to leading large language models, enabling businesses to aggregate multiple models and optimize for both cost and performance through centrally managed access and flexible token allocation.

Together, these offerings join Tencent Cloud’s portfolio of more than 400 solutions for overseas markets, extending secure, practical, enterprise-ready AI to customers across Indonesia.

“Indonesian enterprises are increasingly looking to move from AI experimentation to real adoption,” said Jimmy Chen, Vice President of Tencent Cloud and Vice President of APAC at Tencent Cloud International. “With agents like WorkBuddy and Miora, we help local organizations shift execution-heavy work to AI, so their teams can focus on smarter decisions and innovation. We’re committed to Indonesia for the long term, and we look forward to partnering with more enterprises here as they modernize, adopt AI with confidence, and scale globally from Indonesia.”

Supporting the growth aspirations of Indonesian enterprises across sectors

Tencent Cloud has deepened its support for digital transformation across Indonesia, working with enterprises in telecommunications, digital platforms and financial services to scale on dependable cloud foundations and adopt AI in practical ways.

Taking center stage at the summit was Tencent Cloud’s recent collaboration with XLSMART. In a panel discussion, Yessie D. Yosetya, Director and Chief Information Technology Officer of XLSMART, joined Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud and Head of Tencent Cloud International, to discuss the operator’s large-scale cloud transformation and the role AI played in it. Tencent Cloud supported XLSMART in modernizing its operations on Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure without disrupting the millions of people who rely on its services each day, while applying AI across the project to take on repetitive engineering effort and improve the efficiency of its digital operations.

“For a business serving tens of millions of customers, the real value of this transformation is not just a smoother platform — it is the agility to move faster, launch sooner, and keep improving without disruption,” said Yessie D. Yosetya. “With Tencent Cloud, we consolidated onto a modern cloud foundation with zero downtime and put AI to work across the project. That gives us a base to keep innovating on, and the confidence to scale for what comes next.”

Recently, Tencent Cloud has also supported GoTo, Indonesia’s largest digital ecosystem, in one of the most significant cloud migrations the region has seen, moving more than 1,000 of its on-demand services onto a more scalable, resilient foundation for its future growth.

In financial services, Tencent Cloud supports the core operations of banks such as Bank Neo Commerce with its database solutions such as TDSQL, giving them the reliability to serve millions of customers as they widen consumer access to banking. Its eKYC solutions help institutions such as BRI verify customers remotely and guard against fraud, while its content delivery network helps DANA, one of Indonesia’s leading digital wallets, deliver a fast, consistent experience across the archipelago. In addition, Tencent Cloud’s capabilities are empowering new customer experiences for Telkomsel, as it uses Tencent Cloud’s AI-powered solutions for content generation and palm-based verification processes.

Underpinning all of this is Tencent Cloud’s global infrastructure, which spans 66 availability zones across 23 markets and regions, including three in Indonesia. Tencent Cloud remains deeply committed to the Indonesian market, supporting local enterprises as they scale at home, expand globally, and put AI to work in practical, real-world ways.

As smart calendars and inkless boards emerge as the next essential home productivity tools, Nework introduces NewFlow and NewSlate, alongside storewide October Prime deals.

POMONA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In recent years, a quiet shift has been happening in modern homes and hybrid workspaces. As life gets busier, consumers are moving away from traditional distraction-heavy screens and paper clutter, actively seeking tools that bring calm, structure, and intention to their daily lives. Among these emerging lifestyle tech trends, two products are fast becoming must-haves: smart digital calendars that bring family schedules into focus, and inkless writing boards that offer a clean, friction-free canvas for instant ideas.

People no longer just want more technology—they want tools that seamlessly blend into their environment. Smart digital calendars give families a centralized hub to sync schedules and track chores, while inkless writing boards offer a sustainable, marker-free space to map out thoughts without paper waste.

Meeting this shift in consumer demand, audiovisual and collaborative solutions provider Nework is officially expanding its smart living portfolio this October with two brand-new releases: NewFlow (Smart Digital Calendar) and NewSlate (Inkless Writing board).

NewFlow: The Ultimate Central Hub for the Modern Home

Designed to streamline busy household logistics, NewFlow brings agendas, tasks, and routines together into one sleek, ambient display.

Seamless Syncing: Automatically integrates with Google Calendar, iCloud, and Outlook.Family-Centric Planning: Features color-coded member profiles, interactive chore lists, meal planners, and shared grocery lists.Remote Access: Adjust schedules on the go via the companion mobile app.Ambient Photo Mode: When not in planning mode, NewFlow doubles as an elegant digital photo frame that blends naturally into modern home decor.

NewSlate: A Cleaner, Distraction-Free Canvas for Ideas

Built for quick brainstorming, study workflows, and daily reminders, NewSlate provides a natural, pen-on-paper writing feel without the clutter of sticky notes or traditional dry-erase markers.

 Natural Writing Experience: Low-latency response ensures smooth, precise strokes and effortless partial or full erasing.Sustainable & Efficient: An eco-friendly, energy-efficient design that eliminates paper waste and marker ink disposal.Focused Workspace: Keeps quick notes visible without adding another notification-heavy screen to your environment.

October Savings Across Nework’s Flagship Lines

Alongside the new product introductions, Nework will participate in Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days with a limited-time 48-hour promotion from October 6 to October 7.

The promotion includes 15%-20% off the NewBoard Smart Board Series and more than 20% off the MoveMate Portable TV Series, providing early holiday shoppers with savings across Nework’s existing work and entertainment portfolio.

As consumers look to upgrade their home technology or get an early start on holiday shopping, the promotion offers savings on products designed around increasingly flexible ways of working, relaxing, and spending time at home.

The NewBoard Series is designed to support collaboration and productivity in home offices and shared spaces, bringing communication, content, and everyday workflows together on one interactive display. For entertainment, the MoveMate Series offers a more flexible viewing experience, allowing users to bring their screen to different spaces around the home rather than organizing their routines around a fixed TV setup.

Through its upcoming launches and October deals, Nework continues to focus on technology that simplifies daily tasks and integrates work, home, and personal time seamlessly.

September 24, 2026

By

Five-year agreement expands BNP Paribas’s access to Google Cloud’s AI-optimized  infrastructure, Gemini models and Gemini Enterprise.Initial use cases include plans to integrate Gemini models into LLM@CIB, CIB’s internal  generative AI assistant, and deploy agentic AI use cases within Corporate & Institutional  Banking (CIB).Strengthens BNP Paribas’ multi-cloud approach, aligned within its existing security and data  governance framework. 

PARIS and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BNP Paribas and Google Cloud today announced a  new five-year partnership, to expand BNP Paribas’ access to Google Cloud’s infrastructure and advanced AI capabilities including Gemini Enterprise and Gemini models. 

Through this partnership, Google Cloud technologies will support the expansion of BNP Paribas’ infrastructure and AI capabilities as the Bank moves towards broader deployment of agentic AI. It will also strengthen its existing multi-cloud and multi-model approach within its established security and data governance framework.

“Our role is to empower our businesses with the technology capabilities they need while maintaining a consistent framework for security and control. A multi-cloud and multi-model approach gives us  the flexibility to select, for each case, the right model, infrastructure and level of control to meet our  requirements for quality and security while delivering the best balance between cost and value. This partnership strengthens that approach and expands the options available to our businesses,” said Marc Camus, Group Chief Information Officer, BNP Paribas.

“Agentic AI marks a critical shift in how global financial institutions streamline operations, assess risk, and serve their clients. Through this five-year partnership, BNP Paribas is combining  its banking leadership with Google Cloud’s secure infrastructure and Gemini Enterprise to deploy  intelligent agents within platforms across the bank,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO at Google Cloud. 

From cloud and AI capabilities to business use case 
Through this partnership, BNP Paribas will have access to Gemini Enterprise to build, evaluate and  deploy purpose-built agents tailored to specific business needs. 

Starting with BNP Paribas Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB):

The new capabilities will support the planned deployment of AI agents for targeted workflows,  including the preparation of corporate credit memos to assist teams, with further applications  across sales, trading, research, and structuring activities. Gemini models will be integrated into LLM@CIB, its generative AI assistant currently  available to more than 65,000 employees.

“Our approach to AI starts with the business need. We assess which technology is best suited to  each use case and deploy it within the bank’s security and governance framework. Agentic AI can  help our teams handle more complex workflows while maintaining the appropriate level of control,” said Charles Holive, Chief AI Officer, BNP Paribas CIB.

Google Cloud and Gemini technologies have already been deployed at Nickel, BNP Paribas’  payment account business within the Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS) division.  Gemini serves as the foundational model for Nickel Assist, helping 200 customer advisers find  answers to customer requests based on Nickel’s procedures and operating guidelines. 

A controlled, enterprise-grade governance framework
The use of Google Cloud will follow BNP Paribas’ existing security and data governance  requirements, which determines the type of data and workloads that can be processed in a public  cloud environment. Certain categories of data will not be stored in a public cloud environment.

Security is a key pillar of BNP Paribas’ agentic AI strategy, with each agent being authenticated and  granted access only to the resources required to perform its assigned task. The connection of AI  agents to the Group’s information systems and their respective interactions will be consequently  monitored and controlled. 

The partnership will also contribute to BNP Paribas’ existing Group-wide AI adoption program,  completing ongoing initiatives with learning opportunities ranging from foundational AI literacy to  specialized AI agent development.

Leader in banking and financial services in Europe, BNP Paribas operates in 64 countries and has over  180,000 employees, including more than 146,000 in Europe. The Group has key positions in its three main fields of activity:  Commercial, Personal Banking & Services for the Group’s commercial & personal banking and several specialised  businesses including BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Arval; Investment & Protection Services for savings, investment  and protection solutions; and Corporate & Institutional Banking, focused on corporate and institutional clients. Based on  its strong diversified and integrated model, the Group helps all its clients (individuals, community associations,  entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates and institutional clients) to realise their projects through solutions spanning financing,  investment, savings and protection insurance.

The Group is rolling out its integrated commercial & personal banking model across several  Mediterranean countries, Türkiye, and Eastern Europe.

BNP Paribas has implemented a Corporate Social Responsibility approach in all its activities, enabling it to  contribute to the construction of a sustainable future, while ensuring the Group’s performance and stability.

Google Cloud offers a powerful, optimized AI stack—including AI infrastructure, leading models like Gemini, data  management capabilities, multicloud security solutions, developer tools and platform, as well as agents and applications— that enables organizations to transform their business for the Agentic Era. Customers in more than 200 countries and  territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted technology partner.
