MiniMax Agent desktop update redefines the entry point for agents operating computers. IM serves as unified instruction gateway, Computer Use handles GUI-based tasks, and Pocket makes it all accessible from any messaging platform.
MiniMax Agent's Desktop Update: IM + Computer Use — The Digital Avatar is Here
Imagine you're on the subway, and you suddenly remember there might be an important file on your desktop. Previously, you'd have to wait until you got to the office to check.
Now, you send your computer a message on Feishu: "Can you check if there's a 2025 report PDF on my desktop? Find it and send it to me."
The agent retrieves the file and sends it back. Task done.
Here's a question that would've sounded ridiculous five years ago: what if your computer could receive instructions from you via WeChat—and actually execute them? And what if it could do so even when you're nowhere near your desk?
This is the core scenario of MiniMax Agent's desktop update. （Source: MiniMax Agent Update "This time we redesigned how agents operate computers"）
Three Scenarios Where Agents Work for You
Remote file retrieval. You're on the subway, in a meeting, traveling for work. Send an IM to the agent, and that file on your desktop arrives. No need to open your computer, no remote desktop required.
Resume screening and Feishu document generation. "Read all resumes in the Resume folder on my desktop. Based on design experience years, quantifiable achievements, and skills match, select the top 3 candidates for an AI Native Product Designer role and generate interview questions. Compile into a Feishu document."
Computer Use reads local files on your computer and understands each resume's content. The Feishu CLI writes the final candidate analysis and interview questions into a Feishu document. The agent sends you the document link when done.
Operating local apps and system settings. "Open System Settings, find Lock Screen, set the screen saver to never activate. Then open the Pocket client to run the daily scheduled task, and send me a screenshot when done."
These tasks—modifying system settings, operating local clients—have no exposed command-line interfaces. Previously, you'd have to do them manually. Now the agent handles everything, showing you each step in IM.
