新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-15
The piece frames Feishu's launch against February's "SaaSpocalypse" — when Claude Cowork's debut wiped $285B off US software stocks in four days — and August's reversal: Salesforce jumped 22.6% on Agentforce with ARR past $1.5B.
Feishu's answer: at its 2026 conference, CEO Xie Xin positioned Feishu 8.0 plus Doubao Work as "the best work platform for agents."
- Feishu became the default Chinese integration target after OpenClaw and coding agents went mainstream; its open-source Feishu CLI hit 17k GitHub stars
- Feishu 8.0 adds full "agent onboarding": add agents like colleagues, @ to assign work, agent-to-agent collaboration, access to docs/tables/approvals, permissions mirroring the invoking user
- Doubao Work Companion is a team agent with its own org identity — joins groups, attends meetings, reads docs, reviews code, and remembers team context. A Dongfeng factory built an equipment agent on it, cutting failure rates 60% and saving ¥1.79M/year
- H1 2026: Feishu ARR grew 2.5x YoY, 90%+ of new customers bought AI products, 40%+ cited native agent support as the deciding factor; 9 of the top 10 Chinese automakers by market cap use Feishu.
