Huawei Releases Standalone HarmonyOS PC Assistant With Office Task Automation

Huawei has made its AI assistant available as a standalone app in the HarmonyOS PC AppGallery and introduced the official release of its Work office agent, IT Home reported on November 6. The PC app carries version number 11.7.9.300.

The assistant was previously integrated into the computer operating system. A separate app provides a distribution channel for updates outside the system-level package. IT Home said the Work function entered internal testing in September; the current release moves that office assistant beyond the test phase described in earlier coverage.

Users can delegate tasks such as data analysis, slide preparation and weekly reports with a single instruction. According to the report, the agent breaks an objective into steps, selects tools and carries out the work, producing usable Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents rather than only returning a conversational answer.

Huawei's Chinese product page describes both cloud-PC and local-computer execution environments. Users can select an environment according to the software and files a task needs. The company says progress remains visible and users review important checkpoints, rather than leaving every stage to an unattended agent.

The service also supports connectors to office platforms including DingTalk and Feishu. Huawei says more than 200 domain experts and expert teams are available within the service. These are product claims, not an independently assessed measure of task quality or successful completion.

A connected HarmonyOS phone can remotely dispatch work to a computer, monitor progress and receive completed results. Huawei says tasks can continue after the user leaves the PC, and one phone can connect to multiple computers. Actual execution still depends on the selected device, files and environment being available.

IT Home says Work uses a membership model with AI points measuring task consumption; more complex work consumes different amounts. Its report does not list current subscription prices. The new development is the standalone PC distribution and official office-agent release, distinct from Pandaily's November 5 report about openPangu-2.1-Pro appearing inside the service. Huawei has not confirmed an official English name for this China-market Work product.
