iFlytek Star Agent Platform: AI Agent Development Platform by iFlytek 198

What is the iFlytek Xingchen Agent Platform?

• The iFlytek Xingchen Agent Platform is an AI agent development platform launched by iFlytek for developers and enterprises, covering the full process from learning, functional development, and engineering deployment to enterprise applications. The platform focuses on a fully open technical foundation and flexible customization capabilities, aiming to help developers achieve AI application innovation faster.

• In January 2026, iFlytek Xingchen completed an important upgrade, with key enhancements in agents' capabilities for physical-world perception, complex context understanding, and multimodal natural interaction. The upgraded platform builds a complete multimodal interaction solution around voice, vision, action, and execution capabilities, with agents evolving from single-function tools into interactive, executable roles. iFlytek Xingchen is now fully open source (Apache 2.0 license), supporting free secondary development and commercial productization.

• Core Advantages of the iFlytek Xingchen Agent Platform

• Open and flexible architecture: The platform can connect to various models, as convenient as plug-and-play tools. We provide over 16,000 ready-made plugins, and can easily host custom tools, allowing popular applications to be quickly replicated.

• Deep customization capabilities: Model performance can be adjusted according to specific needs, with the precision of a tailor-made solution. The platform is also equipped with evaluation tools that can automatically verify effects and optimize models based on scenarios.

• Features of the iFlytek Xingchen Agent Platform

• Creation methods: Three modes are supported—instruction-based (created via prompts), workflow-based, and interactive digital human. Users can generate agents and workflows through natural language descriptions. The platform also provides numerous templates, enabling complex task orchestration even without programming experience.

• Development capabilities: Built-in Xingchen RPA core tools support process recording and drag-and-drop development, and can connect to various enterprise software systems. The platform integrates 870 AI capabilities from the iFlytek Open Platform and over 16,000 MCP Servers, covering common scenarios such as maps, search, payment, and weather queries. It also supports OpenAI-Like API access and custom tool hosting.

• Model compatibility: In addition to iFlytek Spark, the platform also supports mainstream large models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, allowing developers to compare and tune prompts across different models.

• Effect evaluation: The platform provides a complete chain from development, evaluation, publishing to operations. Developers can create evaluation tasks and evaluation sets to systematically verify agent performance.

• Publishing channels: Agents can be published with one click to multiple channels including Spark App/Desk, WeChat Official Accounts, Feishu, API, MCP Server, and the Virtual Human Platform.

• Application Scenarios of the Xingchen Agent Development Platform
  

• Enterprise office and process automation: Through RPA capabilities, cross-system connections are achieved, enabling legacy systems to be improved non-intrusively via Agents—for example, scenarios such as financial reimbursement and multi-platform content publishing.

• Voice interaction and digital humans: Based on iFlytek's AIUI system, integrating virtual humans, voice replication, and role-playing models, it can be used for smart lobby greeters, entertainment character design, companion products, and more.

• Learning and knowledge management: Supports web search summarization and information gathering and organization, making it suitable for academic research and knowledge Q&A applications.

• Content creation: Supports building multi-platform content generation Agents, such as copywriting and news summarization.

• How to Use the Xingchen Agent Development Platform?

• Creating an Instruction-Based Agent

• After entering the iFlytek Xingchen Agent Development Platform (https://agent.xfyun.cn/agentbuilder) homepage, click the "Create Application" button on the left. In the pop-up dialog, select "Create with Prompt".

• Enter the agent's setup description in the dialog box, then click "Quick Create".

• After entering the instruction-based agent setup page, you need to fill in four basic pieces of information: agent name (up to 20 characters), category (choose from Workplace, Creation, Learning, Social, Health, Lifestyle, Other), brief introduction (within 100 characters), and avatar image.

• Next, edit the prompt in three parts: Role, Task, and Reply Requirements. For example, the Role can be set as "You are an experienced interviewer", the Task written as "List common interview questions based on the position I provide", and the Reply Requirements written as "Give 5 questions, presented in separate bullet points".

• Configure advanced features as needed—web search, AI drawing, and code generation can be enabled; a knowledge base can be added to upload proprietary materials; or conversation enhancement options such as greetings, persona, voice, and background image can be set.

• Select the model version on the page, supporting Spark V4.0 Ultra, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.

• After completing, click the "Create" button in the upper right corner. You can input text in the debugging area to test the effect, and click "Publish" once it passes.

Creating a Workflow Agent

• After logging into the platform, click "Create" in the upper left corner, then click "Workflow Creation" on the right side of the creation interface.

• There are two options here: one is "Custom Creation", which opens a blank canvas for you to build yourself; the other is "Template Creation", which uses the platform's existing templates to generate directly, such as the "AI Podcast Generation Template".

• After entering the canvas, first click the edit icon in the upper left corner to set the workflow's name and function description. Then drag the required nodes from the left-side node list onto the canvas, such as "Large Model" nodes, "Code" nodes, "Knowledge Base" nodes, "Q&A nodes", etc., and connect these nodes in order.

• Click on each node to configure specific parameters, such as setting the prompt and selecting the model version in the Large Model node. After configuration, click "Debug" to test the running result, and publish once it passes.

Publishing Channels

After the agent is created, you can choose the publishing method as needed:

• Personal use only

• Publish to iFlytek Spark App, open to Spark users

• Publish to WeChat Official Accounts, open to self-media followers

• Publish as an API interface, for your own use or shared with specified developers

• Publish as an MCP Server, for your own use or shared with other developers

• Publish as a Feishu robot, for use by Feishu members of your enterprise

• Publish to the Virtual Human Interaction Platform
