RECATOOLS Verdict

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 gone from chat assistant to Kunlun Wanwei's flagship agent platform, and 2026 has been busy. SkyClaw-v1.0, a million-token-context model, landed in May; Tiangong 3.1 in June added Skywork Design and dynamic workflows for multi-step jobs; and July's v3.2 added Skywork Tags, letting the agent join team chats on Slack, Lark, DingTalk, Discord or Telegram instead of its own workspace. In March it folded in an AIGC suite: Matrix-Game 3.0, SkyReels V4, Mureka V9. The pitch is deep research that ends in a finished deliverable: documents, decks, spreadsheets, web pages, video and podcasts. Kunlun claims its Super Agents topped the GAIA leaderboard ahead of OpenAI Deep Research and Manus.

The desktop edition, released globally on 4 February 2026, is the more interesting differentiator: it runs tasks in a local virtual machine rather than shipping files to a cloud backend — a deliberate answer to the privacy question that comes with feeding an agent your real work documents.

Sentiment splits between capability and commerce. Reviewers rate the research depth and the sheets and podcast agents, comparisons against Genspark and Manus score it strong value, and the web version beats the mobile apps. Reports that cite their sources earn trust.

The commercial side has drawn real anger, consistently enough across platforms to flag. Trustpilot carries 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 unauthorised charges and blocked paid accounts. Google Play complaints cluster on billing: no visible way to cancel, charges landing straight after a free trial, refund requests unanswered. Kunlun has since ended the credit system entirely — an implicit admission of how badly it landed — but the support complaints predate and outlast that change.

Pricing is three tiers — Basic around $19.99/month, Plus $49.99, Ultra $249.99 — corroborated by two independent trackers, with no one-time option. Test it on real workloads during any trial, watch the billing, and be comfortable with a China-headquartered vendor before routing sensitive material through it.
