Automation and agents
Let a workflow run on its own instead of clicking through it each time.
To build an agent that can talk, start with Coze. Repeated clicks inside a company are Yingdao’s job. Do not mix them into one list.
First pick
Coze
ByteDance

Where to open it. The China site coze.cn opened. Do not mix it up with coze.com. https://www.coze.cn/
What it is good for. Build an agent in China that can talk and connect to tools.
What it is not. Not the tool for turning repeated clicks inside a company into a flow. That is Yingdao. The international site coze.com is a different entrance.
Alternate
Yingdao
Yingdao
Turn repeated clicks inside a company into a workflow that can run. A small personal automation may not need it.

Where to open it. The Chinese official site yingdao.com opened. https://www.yingdao.com/
What it is good for. Turn repeated clicks inside a company into a workflow that can run. A small personal automation may not need it.
What it is not. Not where you start if you only want a chat robot. Start with Coze. Yingdao is for making a business system click through a repeated flow.

Tiangong
Kunlun
Its current place is an office agent, not the pure search box it once was.

Where to open it. tiangong.cn opened. https://www.tiangong.cn/
What it is good for. Its current place is an office agent, not the pure search box it once was.
What it is not. Not a search box anymore, and not the tool for research with sources. That is Metaso. Its method is also not the same as Coze.
Alternate
Dify
LangGenius
For agent workflows that can go live. The cloud is on a domain outside China. If it is unstable, do not keep waiting.

Where to open it. The cloud at dify.ai does not guarantee a direct connection from the mainland. You can deploy it yourself. This list does not provide a deployment guide, and it does not explain how to change a network. https://dify.ai/
What it is good for. For agent workflows that can go live. The cloud is on a domain outside China. If it is unstable, do not keep waiting.
What it is not. Not ahead of Coze when you want a bot that opens in the mainland soon. The cloud site does not always open. This list does not give deployment steps.

Open-source workflows. The official cloud usually needs a special network. The software can run on your own server.

It connects many overseas apps. It usually does not open in the mainland, and there is no fully matching product in China.
