Coze
扣子
Coze (扣子) is ByteDance's AI Agent development platform — a visual, drag-and-drop builder that lets users assemble AI agents and workflows without complex coding, with plugins for third-party services, aimed at both non-technical beginners and professional developers . Its history is one of steady layering: in April 2025 it was upgraded into a new-generation AI Agent platform with one-stop app development (visual orchestration, built-in tools and templates, usage-based pricing, per Volcano Engine's product team as relayed in a Gaorong Ventures piece ); in mid-2025 ByteDance open-sourced two of its core projects — Coze Studio (the dev platform) and Coze Loop (an agent management/ops platform) — under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, drawing nearly 20,000 GitHub stars combined and low enough requirements (4-core CPU, 8GB RAM) to run on a laptop, per 十字路口Crossing . By 2026 the product had kept iterating — Coze 2.5 added deep integration with Lark (agents operable from within Feishu chat windows) , Coze 3.0 landed in June 2026 , and as of September 2026 ByteDance has reportedly regrouped Coze alongside Feishu and Trae as infrastructure under Doubao .
