Tencent Yuanqi agent platform shuts down Nov 9, stranding developers' bots and users

Tencent's Yuanqi, an AI agent-building platform, will shut down on November 9, and all agents created on it will become unavailable.
The post notes Tencent has killed yet another AI product, underscoring how fast software products churn in the AI era. It also carries a practical warning for developers building on big-platform agent ecosystems: keep your prompts, data, and user contact info in your own hands, because when a platform cuts a project, third parties and their accumulated users are left stranded.
