On October 23, Tencent officially launched the newly upgraded IMA 2.0 version at the IMA Open Day event. As the first personal knowledge base in the industry to integrate Agent capabilities, IMA 2.0 introduced a "Task Mode," upgrading the knowledge base from a simple search and Q&A tool into an intelligent partner that can understand complex tasks, autonomously break them down into steps, call tools, and complete the entire process.
Users just need to issue instructions in natural language, and IMA 2.0 will understand the true intention behind the instruction, automatically decompose the task into multiple steps, call tools including deep reading, web search, knowledge base query, content generation, and gradually complete the task. During execution, it will self-monitor and correct itself, finally outputting results that can be directly used. Users can also attach their own knowledge base, documents, images, audio, web links, etc., as "reference books" to make the output content more tailored to actual needs.
In addition to text tasks, the task mode of IMA 2.0 also supports the intelligent generation of podcast content. Users can customize roles, choose voice styles, and quickly generate diverse audio content such as industry interviews, knowledge explanations, and course materials, applicable to various scenarios such as education, marketing, and personal creation. At the same time, the knowledge base itself has also undergone a comprehensive upgrade, adding the "AI Highlights" feature, which can automatically generate structured summaries and quickly grasp the key points; it supports "multi-task parallel processing," allowing the same knowledge base to handle multiple topics and tasks simultaneously, and "collaborative sharing," where everyone can build and use the knowledge base together. In addition, the new "Like" feature helps users quickly identify high-quality knowledge, saving time spent on repeated screening.
Over the past year, IMA has served more than 20 industries, including technology, finance, education, healthcare, law, and government, accumulating 200 million knowledge base files. Compared to January this year, monthly active users increased by more than 80 times by September. The three industries with the most knowledge bases are technology and internet, economics and finance, and health and medical care. These pieces of knowledge are not just dormant archives in the cloud but are truly "flowing" and participating in every user's creation, expression, and decision-making. Veteran users shared advanced usage methods of IMA on site, such as clinical doctors using it as a "second brain" to look up guidelines and make decisions, solving clinical problems instantly; customs teams using it to build an intelligent Q&A database, with accuracy approaching 100%; history teachers injecting 30,000 materials, letting AI analyze exam points and act as a teaching assistant, increasing top 20 students from 2 to 8; lawyers uploading 778 case judgments, being able to read through the case details in a few days; and securities analysts creating investment research encyclopedias, directly making professional knowledge accessible to everyone.
Tencent Cloud stated that it will continue to refine AI capabilities, making AI a productivity tool that is accessible and easy for every ordinary person to use. The launch of IMA 2.0 marks the transformation of knowledge bases from simple storage tools to smart productivity tools, providing users with a more efficient and intelligent experience in knowledge management and task execution.
