PHYSIX OBSERVATION

As model capabilities converge, the context accumulated by enterprises over the long term becomes the true barrier for office AI. Tencent leverages WeCom's internal and external connectivity advantages to push AI from an efficiency tool into business operations, and attempts to charge by usage and results. However, low payment conversion rates remain a common industry challenge. Only those who can turn context into attributable revenue growth can make the business model work.
