Wondershare Launches PDFelement V13 with New AI Workflows for Knowledge and Agreements

Published

on

By

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wondershare today announced the launch of Wondershare PDFelement V13, the latest major release of its AI-powered PDF solution. The new version introduces Spaces, a knowledge workspace for learning and research, and an enhanced Agreement Copilot that brings agreement review, comparison, protection, and signing into a more unified workflow. Together, the new experiences extend document AI beyond answering questions toward helping users complete real-world document tasks.

This outcome-oriented approach reflects a broader shift in how people use AI. Users increasingly expect AI to understand the context of a task, work across relevant information, and support the steps needed to reach a useful result. With Wondershare PDFelement V13, this approach is applied to document-driven workflows where information needs to be understood, transformed, and acted upon.

The two workflows address distinct document-intensive scenarios. For knowledge work, Spaces helps students, educators, researchers, and other knowledge professionals turn multiple sources into structured knowledge and reusable outputs. For agreement management, Agreement Copilot brings together the capabilities users need to review, compare, protect, and sign agreements within a unified workflow.

Transforming Information into Actionable Knowledge

At the heart of Wondershare PDFelement V13’s knowledge workflow is Spaces, a new knowledge workspace. By bringing PDFs, webpages, notes, and other reference materials into a single space, Wondershare PDFelement enables users to understand information across multiple sources and transform it into actionable knowledge.

For students preparing for exams, course PDFs, course notes, and lecture videos on YouTube can be brought into one Space for cross-source Q&A and transformed into summaries, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, or podcasts—turning scattered study materials into a structured learning workflow.

Key capabilities include:

Bring related knowledge together in one Space by organizing PDFs, YouTube URLs, text, and other reference materials around a single course, research topic, or project, creating a centralized workspace for learning and collaboration.Understand information across multiple sources through contextual Q&A that connects insights across documents with traceable references, helping users quickly identify key information and relationships.Turn knowledge into reusable outputs by generating summaries, reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, and podcasts from the same collection of materials to support learning, research, and knowledge sharing.

Built around the PDF documents at the center of many learning and research workflows, Spaces lets users move directly from reading and organizing source materials to understanding and creating with them—all within Wondershare PDFelement.

Bringing End-to-End Intelligence to Agreement Workflows

Agreement Copilot brings contract review, comparison, translation, and signing into a unified workflow, helping businesses, independent professionals, and freelancers identify key terms and considerations for discussion while managing agreements more efficiently and confidently. With agreements requiring multiple steps across the document lifecycle, Agreement Copilot keeps these critical tasks within Wondershare PDFelement, allowing users to manage agreements throughout the workflow without switching between applications.

Key capabilities include:

Understand agreements with greater clarity by reviewing contracts from the user’s perspective. After identifying the user’s role in the agreement—such as buyer, seller, or neutral party—Agreement Copilot highlights terms and potential areas of attention based on the users role, while document translation helps users work with multilingual agreements more effectively.Make informed decisions with actionable insights by comparing different versions of agreements, identifying revisions, analyzing potential impacts, and providing contextual insights to help users identify areas that may require further review before signing.Complete the agreement workflow in one place by generating review reports, protecting sensitive information through Smart Redaction, and finalizing agreements with integrated Digital Signature and Request eSign capabilities.

By bringing every stage of agreement management into a single intelligent workflow, Wondershare PDFelement helps organizations and professionals review, negotiate, and finalize contracts with greater confidence, efficiency, and control.

“AI becomes more useful when it helps people move beyond understanding a document to completing the work around it,” said Kim Huang, Head of Product for Wondershare PDFelement. “Wondershare PDFelement V13 marks another step in delivering on that vision. Looking ahead, we will continue developing AI experiences that support people across real-world creativity and productivity workflows, making it easier to move from ideas and information to action.”

Availability

Wondershare PDFelement V13 is now available worldwide. To learn more about the latest release and explore its new intelligent workflow experiences, visit https://pdf.wondershare.com/.

Published

on

By

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BenQ, the world’s leading provider of technology products and solutions, joins IFA Berlin with its latest innovations across lighting, projection, monitors and desktop accessories. Bringing together intelligent technologies and human-centered design, the new solutions are created for the way people work, create and enjoy entertainment today.

In 2025, sales of monitors in the German consumer market rose by 6.7% to almost 3.4 million units.[1] This reflects continued demand for visual technology across work, gaming and entertainment. BenQ is responding by expanding its portfolio across workplace lighting, home entertainment, purpose-driven monitors and aesthetic desktop accessories, reinforcing its focus on user-centered innovation.

“For BenQ, IFA is more than just a product showcase. It is an important platform for demonstrating our innovation and long-term commitment to the European market. When it comes to visual technology in particular, the personal experience counts: picture quality, lighting effects, immersion and ease of use. BenQ is dedicated to bringing these ideal user experiences to life and connecting directly with our partners, media, creators, and consumers,” says Jay Wu, President of BenQ Europe.

Lighting Reimagined – in Harmony with Users’ Day-to-day Lives

Designed around the diverse needs of today’s workspaces, BenQ’s ScreenBar® lighting portfolio – iScreenBar™ and ScreenBar® Max –continues to evolve with  precise illumination, adaptive brightness control and space-saving technology, whilst taking into account a variety of professionals.

The new ScreenBar® Max sets a new standard for desk lighting in dual-monitor workspaces, providing broader and more balanced illumination across larger desk setups. Meanwhile, the iScreenBar™ is the world’s first lighting solution designed exclusively for iMac users, integrating seamlessly into Apple’s distinctive desktop environment. Both products have been developed to enhance visual comfort, productivity and efficiency across different work environments.

Transforming Spaces, Expanding Possibilities Through Projection

BenQ showcases new solutions in the home entertainment sector. The W4200, TK715i and AK900ST demonstrate how projection can transform spaces and expand the possibilities of home entertainment. AI-powered image and contrast optimization, multi-stage de-speckle technology and flexible installation options enable immersive, comfortable viewing experiences tailored to different spatial requirements.

Looking Beyond Specifications: Monitors Designed for Different Needs

BenQ’s monitor portfolio is built around the distinct demands of programmers, versatile Mac users, and gamers, with each series developed to address specific usage scenarios rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

The RD Series is designed for engineering professionals, with features tailored to all-day visual comfort for long coding sessions and productivity-oriented workflows. The MA Series is designed to integrate seamlessly into the Mac ecosystem, offering a continuous Mac experience with the freedom to work your way.

For exploratory gamers, the MOBIUZ EX321UZ brings together professional-grade visual performance and an immersive gaming experience. Featuring BenQ Color Lab’s exclusive color tuning technology, it crafts color based on Game Art Styles—Fantasy, Realistic, and Sci-Fi—rather than game genres, unveiling the game’s hidden beauty while staying faithful to the artist’s intent.

Across its monitor portfolio, BenQ’s approach reflects a simple principle: meaningful innovation starts with understanding how technology is used, not with specifications alone.

New Brand Debut – INFTYLAB Brings Aesthetic Design to the Desktop

Expanding beyond visual technology, BenQ introduces INFTYLAB, a new brand that focuses on ergonomic desktop accessories that is specifically designed for the Apple ecosystem.

Combining Apple-inspired design with professional-grade functionality and comfort. The initial INFTYLAB portfolio includes the Studio Arm, with patented ZeroTune™ weight adjustment for Apple displays; the M Mouse, designed to support typical Mac gestures; and the Flow Desk Mat, which integrates cable management into a clean and organized desktop setup.

ECOVACS at IFA Berlin 2026: Named as No.1 Brand in Global Home Robotics, Bringing Robotics to More of Everyday Life

Published

on

By

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — ECOVACS has been named the global No.1 home robotics brand in a newly released research report by Forbes China, which recognizes its leadership across multiple home robotics categories. Built on in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities and scalable technology stacks, the company has expanded from floor care to windows, lawns, and pools, with its service robotics now serving more than 38 million households across nearly 180 markets worldwide.

“The future of home robotics is not about adding more products. It is about giving people more freedom from everyday tasks,” said David Qian, CEO of ECOVACS ROBOTICS. “By reusing around 80% of our core technologies and adapting 20% to each scenario, we can bring robotics from floors and windows to lawns and pools. Looking ahead, we will continue to innovate to make robotics more intelligent, autonomous and accessible, helping more people enjoy an easier everyday life.”

From Indoors to Outdoors: Expanding the Role of Home Robotics

For ECOVACS, the vision of “Robotics for All” means bringing the benefits of service robotics into more parts of everyday life.

ECOVACS’ expansion into new household environments began with windows. Since pioneering the robotic window cleaning category with its first WINBOT in 2011, ECOVACS has continuously evolved its robotics to address real consumer needs. The latest WINBOT W3 OMNI, showcased at IFA 2026, features Vortex Wash, an industry-first automatic wiping-pad cleaning technology that eliminates the hassle of manually washing dirty pads. With more than 1.5 million households worldwide using WINBOT products[1], ECOVACS ranks No. 1 globally in category shipments, according to IDC.[2]

The same idea extends outdoors. For many households, lawn care is a recurring task, with edges among the most difficult areas to keep neat. ECOVACS is showcasing the GOAT T Series at IFA 2026, addressing this challenge with TruEdge Trimmer, designed to cut closely along lawn borders and leave less work behind for users, while the industry-exclusive HoloScope 360 Dual-LiDAR Navigation help it handle different yard layouts with greater autonomy. To date, robotic lawn mowers GOAT have covered nearly 1.4 billion sq. m. of lawn globally – equivalent to around 200,000 standard soccer pitches.

In floor care, ECOVACS pioneered OZMO ROLLER technology to tackle one of the most persistent cleaning challenges: stubborn messes without spreading dirt back across the floor. Featured on the DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone at IFA 2026, the latest OZMO ROLLER 3.0 combines strong cleaning pressure with continuous self-washing to keep the roller clean as it cleans, helping users achieve a deeper clean with less effort. Since its global introduction in September 2024, OZMO ROLLER-equipped models have reached more than 2.8 million units in cumulative global shipments as of July 2026, according to ECOVACS’ internal data.

Building on its expertise across floor, window and lawn care, ECOVACS is extending the robotics experience to pool cleaning. Showcased at IFA 2026, the ULTRAMARINE L1 PRO is designed to take the time and effort out of pool care, autonomously navigating and cleaning different pool environments with minimal user intervention. By bringing robotics to another traditionally hands-on task, ECOVACS is making pool care simpler.

Technology Stacks Powering Global Multi-Category Leadership

Underpinning this multi-category success is scalable technology stacks spanning robotics, sensing, motion control, cleaning, and power management. Rather than building each category from the ground up, ECOVACS can adapt and scale proven robotics capabilities across different environments and user needs, creating a platform built to move from one scenario to the next.

This strategy is backed by more than 900 R&D professionals, RMB 554 million in R&D investment in the first half of 2026, and more than 3,100 patents[3]. Its vertically integrated R&D and manufacturing model further strengthens this technology advantage, giving ECOVACS greater control over key robotics technologies and shortening the path from innovation to products people can use. Together, these capabilities enable ECOVACS to bring proven robotics expertise into new categories and markets at scale, while staying focused on where robotics can create meaningful value in everyday life.

The results are increasingly visible in global markets. In the first half of 2026, global shipments of ECOVACS service robots increased 44.1% year on year, while revenue from new categories, including robotic window cleaners, robotic lawn mowers and robotic pool cleaners, grew 75.1% in international markets. For the first time, international markets accounted for more than half of ECOVACS’ total revenue in Q2 2026, reaching 51%. The milestone reflects how the company’s robotics portfolio is increasingly scaling beyond China.

As ECOVACS expands into more categories and markets around the world, it is bringing its robotics innovation to more people, making everyday life easier wherever they live. At IFA Berlin 2026, visitors can experience this vision at IFA 2026, Hall 9, Booth 113 at Messe Berlin, September 4 to 8. 

About ECOVACS ROBOTICS:

Founded in 2006, ECOVACS ROBOTICS is a global leader in home service robotics with a diverse portfolio of products encompassing robotic vacuum cleaners and robotic window cleaners. With its expansion into robotic lawn mowers, commercial cleaning robots, robotic pool cleaners and robotic pet companions, ECOVACS solidified its position as a multi-category leader in home service robotics.

Guided by the vision “Robotics for All”, ECOVACS continues to advance technology and enhance the user experience to make life smarter and more stylish for consumers worldwide. With sales subsidiaries in Germany, the United States, Japan, and Singapore, ECOVACS products reach nearly 180 major markets and serve over 38 million households globally.

A testament to this market leadership, ECOVACS ROBOTICS has ranked first in China’s robotic vacuum cleaner market by share for ten consecutive years (2015-2024).
