IDC 首发Xwork通用Agent 实测：常规任务基本能打，复杂任务仍需谨慎
2026年，通用Agent成为AI市场最受关注的方向之一。OpenClaw成为现象级产品，海外有Anthropic Cowork、ChatGPT Work等，国内则有WorkBuddy、豆包工作、百度搭子、千问办公等产品，头部厂商纷纷整合产品线，把资源集中到通用Agent上，市场群雄逐鹿。 热度背后是AI应用范式的变革。与去年以Workflow为主的智能体相比，基于Harness架构的通用Agent使用门槛更低、处理复杂任务能力更强，也更容易被普通用户采用。 但市场上的通用Agent究竟能完成多少任务、不同产品各有什么优势、企业又该如何选型，目前还缺少基于统一任务、统一模型和统一测试条件的公开横向实测。 IDC今年启动系统研究，综合企业问卷、用户访谈、产品实测和厂商交流，对主流产品进行深度评测，帮助企业解决选型难题，也为厂商提供市场视角。 IDC将可独立提供服务的智能体分为通用Agent和垂直Agent两类：...

Smart Glasses Growth Cools to 35% as Meta Doubles Down on Distribution
Global shipments of XR headsets and glasses rose 35.3% year over year in the second quarter of 2026, strong growth but a significant moderation from the 130.2% increase IDC tracked in the prior quarter. Much of that slowdown reflects tougher comparisons and a pause between major product cycles rather than any softening in consumer interest. Growth should pick back up as the next wave of product launches arrives later this year.
Death of the SaaS UI: Don’t Worry… It’s Wonderful
Every SaaS vendor just had its head chopped off, and Salesforce went first. It voluntarily stepped up to the guillotine and let its own head go. Yes, that sounds a bit savage, but don’t worry. It’s wonderful. The entire SaaS industry is about to go headless, and I couldn’t be more excited. For thirty years, the interface has masqueraded as the product. That disguise just came off.

That uncertainty is landing at the worst possible moment.
AI and Sustainability: Two Trends, One Inflection Point
For a few years now, sustainability leaders have asked a fairly narrow question: how can AI help us hit our targets? That question still matters. It’s just not the only one anymore. The sharper version asks two things at once: how can AI drive business value with sustainability built in as an outcome, and what is AI’s own footprint, and who’s accountable for it?
Move Fast, Orchestrate Everything: Intelligence-Led Marketing Strategy for the AI Era
AI is rapidly transforming how B2B tech buyers evaluate vendors and make purchase decisions. The closest comparison we have to this moment is 1996, when we entered the digital era, a revolution that massively changed customer behavior, markets, and entire go-to-market strategies and activities. What’s different today is that growth is exponentially faster and greater.
