Skywork (天工 Tiangong), from Kunlun Tech, has evolved from a Chinese LLM into an all-in-one AI agent platform centred on deep research plus office-productivity skills (AI PPT, documents, spreadsheets, image and search). Its 2026 desktop edition runs tasks in a local virtual machine so sensitive files stay on-device, and the SkyClaw agent model offers very long context and multi-step tool use, making it a capable research-and-create workspace.
It suits Chinese-language knowledge workers and anyone wanting an agentic research-to-deliverable workflow. Caveats: the experience is strongest in Chinese, international sign-up, payment and support are inconsistent, and as a China-origin product it carries the usual content-control and data-governance considerations for regional enterprises. English and SEA-language output is usable but secondary. Developer API access is limited and not the focus.
What people say
Skywork has evolved from a chat assistant into Kunlun Tech's flagship agent platform, and 2026 has been a busy year for it: SkyClaw-v1.0, a million-token-context model built for real workflows, landed in the platform in May, and the July v3.2 release added Skywork Tags, which lets the agent join team chats on Slack, Lark, DingTalk, Discord or Telegram rather than forcing users into its own workspace. The core pitch is deep research that ends in a finished deliverable — documents, slide decks, spreadsheets, web pages and podcasts — and Kunlun claims its Super Agents topped the GAIA benchmark leaderboard ahead of OpenAI Deep Research and Manus.
User sentiment is split between capability and commerce. Reviewers genuinely rate the research depth and the sheets and podcast agents, and comparisons with Genspark and Manus generally score Skywork as strong value, with the web version notably better than the mobile apps. The output-with-sources approach — reports that cite what they used — earns trust points in independent reviews.
The commercial side has drawn real anger. Trustpilot reviews include reports of runaway credit consumption — one user burned over four thousand credits on a repeatedly failing PDF task, another found a twelve-slide deck costing more than a thousand credits per slide — alongside complaints of unauthorised charges, abruptly blocked paid accounts, and unresponsive email-only support. Kunlun has since announced the end of the credit system entirely, an implicit acknowledgment of how badly it was received, but the support complaints predate and outlast that change.
Skywork fits researchers, analysts, marketers and small teams who want a single tool that turns a research question into a shareable artifact, and its pricing has consistently undercut Tier-1 rivals. Buyers should test it on real workloads during any trial, keep an eye on billing, and be comfortable with a China-headquartered vendor before routing sensitive material through it.
