What are AutoGLM agents in Qingyan?

AutoGLM is Zhipu’s agent technology that lets the assistant operate apps and device interfaces — tapping, scrolling and filling forms — to complete tasks on your behalf. It is one of the more advanced consumer agent implementations in China. Because agents act with side effects, supervise them on unfamiliar tasks until their behavior is predictable.
