If you were in Shenzhen in early March, you might have caught an unusual sight
outside the headquarters of one of China's biggest tech companies.
Crowds of people huddled around makeshift tables in an open courtyard.
Everyone had a laptop in hand.
People were shoulder to shoulder, typing, tinkering, troubleshooting.
It looked like an outdoor hackathon had broken out in the middle of the city.
There were hundreds of people, from retirees, elderly, to school kids, and of course, young office workers.
Loose Ding covers China tech for Bloomberg out of Hong Kong.
And they were all there to get Tencent engineers to install OpenCloud on their computer.
Loose, what is OpenCloud?
It's a very capable AI agentic tool.
It's much more capable than AI chatbots.
It can help you to do your work on your computer, like sorting files, edit videos, making purchases.
Tools like OpenCloud aren't something you can just download from an App Store.
They require technical setup and a bit of know-how.
That's why in China, people are organizing gatherings like the one at Tencent's headquarters
to help potential users get OpenCloud up and running.
