Overview

SenseChat (商量) is SenseTime's free consumer AI assistant, running on its SenseNova models. It comes as a web chat on SenseNova V6.5 Pro, a China app with camera-and-voice conversation and children's storytelling, and a Hong Kong app tuned for Cantonese. Developers should look at the separate SenseNova API.

RECATOOLS Verdict

SenseChat is a free, competent Chinese assistant whose strength is SenseTime's image understanding: photo questions, document reading and image generation on SenseNova V6.5 Pro in the browser, plus a Cantonese app for Hong Kong. The web version is still maintained; the mobile apps have not been updated for over a year.

Hong Kong reviewers rate it 4.0 and call its reasoning and Cantonese voice behind the leaders. Answers follow mainland content rules and SenseTime is on US restriction lists. Developers should use the SenseNova API instead.

What we found

SenseChat (商量) is SenseTime's consumer AI assistant, distinct from SenseNova (日日新), the model family behind it, which has its own entry in this directory along with its developer API. SenseTime first showed SenseChat at its Tech Day in April 2023 as a Chinese-language chat model. Today the name covers three things: a web chat at chat.sensetime.com, a China app relaunched in April 2025, and a Hong Kong app tuned for Cantonese.

The web version is the one SenseTime is still visibly maintaining. Its code was redeployed on 10 October 2026 and its model selector offers SenseNova V6.5 Pro, with a V6.5 video model marked as a trial. The page pitches it at summarising financial news, explaining policy and analysing company reports, plus copywriting, image generation and coding, and it reads uploaded documents and translates articles. No paid plan or usage limit is published; it needs a SenseTime sign-in.

The China app was relaunched at SenseTime's April 2025 Tech Day on SenseNova V6, presented as an assistant that sees and hears through the phone's camera and microphone. A July 2025 update added interactive storytelling for children, where a child can interrupt with questions, using a cloned voice. It rates 4.7 from 128 ratings on the China App Store, read on 14 October 2026. Both mobile apps have now gone more than a year without an update: the China app last changed in September 2025 and the Hong Kong app in June 2025.

The Hong Kong app rates 4.0 from 78 ratings. Its reviews praise photo recognition and fault the rest: one calls the reasoning dated and the Cantonese voice odd, notes refusals on some questions, and another asks for a conversation list. Answers follow mainland content rules, and SenseTime sits on US trade and investment restriction lists, which matters to some regional buyers. For Cantonese or Chinese chat with good image understanding it is a free option; for English work, frontier assistants are stronger.

Frequently asked questions

SenseChat is built for the domestic market: international sign-up and payment are awkward to impossible, there is no readily accessible global API, and the documentation is Chinese-first.
It can. SenseTime appears on US trade-restriction lists, which complicates procurement for any organisation with US exposure — a question to settle before piloting, not after.
Multimodal work. Image and video understanding and generation sit alongside text, inherited from SenseTime's origins as one of China's earliest computer-vision unicorns.
