Coze

Coze is ByteDance’s AI agent development platform for building, deploying, and publishing chatbots with plugins, workflows, and knowledge bases.

Overview

Coze provides a visual studio for creating AI agents that combine large language models with plugins, knowledge bases, workflows, and scheduled tasks. Creators configure an agent’s persona and capabilities without coding, then publish it to Douyin, Feishu, WeChat, and other channels with one click. Its workflow builder handles multi-step business logic, and the store of community plugins extends agents with search, image, and data capabilities. In China it has become a common gateway for teams experimenting with agent automation. The platform’s template library covers customer service, content generation, and learning assistants, so most users modify a working agent rather than starting blank. Agent analytics show how users interact with published bots, guiding iteration on prompts and workflows.
