Tiangong AI

Tiangong AI is the assistant from Kunlun Tech (Kunlun Wanwei). It started out selling itself on AI search: it looks things up first, then writes a sourced answer, which makes it more useful for research than a pure chat model. Over time the focus has shifted to “super agents” — having the AI produce finished deliverables such as documents, slide decks, spreadsheets and web pages rather than just a block of text.

The value of that approach is skipping the copy, paste and reformat step. Ask it for an industry overview and it will search, organise the findings into a structured report, and can turn that into a presentation as well. If you need a first draft quickly, that beats stitching together chat replies by hand.

How well “one click to a finished file” works depends heavily on the task. Clear topics with plenty of public information come out well; specialist judgement or niche subjects can produce something that looks complete but falls apart on the details. Treat it as a first-draft tool, not a final-draft one.

Key features

• AI search: Searches the web and returns a structured answer with cited sources.
• Deep research: Runs multiple rounds of searching on a topic and compiles a fuller research report.
• Documents and slides: Generates downloadable documents and presentations from a brief.
• Tables and data: Organises collected information into tables for comparison and further work.
• Chat and writing: The usual Q&A, rewriting and summarising are covered too.

How to use

1. Go to tiangong.cn and sign up with a phone number or another supported method.
2. Ask simple questions directly; turn on search when you need sources.
3. For a deliverable, pick the matching agent — document, slides or spreadsheet.
4. Be specific: topic, audience, length and the points that must be included.
5. Check every fact and figure in the output, then edit it into your own voice.

Best for

• Quick research: a sourced overview of a topic you don’t know yet.
• First-draft presentations: generate the deck skeleton under deadline, then fill it in yourself.
• Pulling scattered information together into a document or table.
• Lookups where you want to see sources and verify them easily.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

• Goes from search to finished file in one place, with less switching between tools.
• Answers come with sources, which makes checking easier than with pure chat products.
• Directly reachable in mainland China, with core features free to try.

Limitations

• Output often looks complete while the detail quality varies; specialist content needs human review.
• Agent tasks are slow and free usage is limited, so complex jobs eat through the allowance quickly.
• Branding and product shape change often, and the Chinese and international versions differ.
