TinyFish gives every Alibaba QoderWork agent contact with reality
Desktop agents went from demo to default in just a few months. Most knowledge workers will have one soon, if they don't already. The question that decides whether it's useful or not is a simple one: once the agent is sitting on the desktop, what can it actually reach?
TinyFish is now an official Connector in Alibaba's QoderWork, sitting in the Integration Market alongside Figma and Google Maps. Turn it on, and every QoderWork agent gets a web-native partner inside the same workspace it already runs in.
QoderWork gives every employee an agent on the desktop. TinyFish gives that agent contact with reality: the current state of a portal, a dashboard, a marketplace, or a page, read from the place it actually lives, at the moment it's asked for. What comes back is the world as it is right now, rather than a stored copy of it.
What this means for you
For thirty years, software was a report. It produced records, and when a record could not be trusted, a person went and checked. Refreshed the portal. Logged into the tool. Read the number off the page. The checking was human work.
Agents are starting to take that work over. Renewing a policy. Reconciling a set of invoices. Pulling a brief together before a Monday call. Comparing what three vendors are quoting today, not what they quoted last quarter.
The work that used to mean "let me just go check the site" is exactly the work this combination handles now.
What every QoderWork agent can now do
When the QoderWork agent steps onto the web, the part doing the heavy lifting is TinyFish Web Agent. Give it a goal, point it at a website, and it moves through the site the way a person would. Clicking, filling forms, holding logged-in sessions, running many goals in parallel, and coming back with the result and the trail behind it.
Ask it for a rundown on a person or a company, and it goes to several places at once: the last month of their posts on X, their LinkedIn, their recent YouTube interviews, their GitHub activity, the news that mentions them. Each of those is a logged-in, script-heavy page a plain scraper can't read cleanly. It comes back with one write-up, sourced. The pre-call research or candidate check that used to cost someone a morning takes a few minutes.
The hard part of the web is not finding the page. It is everything that comes after, and that is what Web Agent has been built for.
All the "web for agents" tools out there stop at a search result or a scraped page and call it done. That works if the agent only has to read about the world. It falls apart the moment the agent has to do something on it.
Web Agent picks up where those tools quit, and it happens to be the best in the world at it.
On Online-Mind2Web, the leading benchmark for live web agents, TinyFish scores 89.9%. To give you some perspective, OpenAI Operator sits at 61% on the same test. Claude Computer Use is at 56%.
What that looks like in practice: each step lands precisely, so a ten-step workflow does not collapse three steps in. The agent comes back with the answer, not a dead end and an apology.
Fetch reads any page as clean, agent-ready content in markdown, HTML, or JSON, with navigation, cookie banners, ads, and runtime junk stripped out.
Search discovers the right sources from the live web, returning fresh structured results the agent can route into whatever comes next.
QoderWork supports MCP UI, so when Web Agent runs, the live run streams right inside QoderWork while it works. You see what it sees, step by step.
Set it up in QoderWork
You need QoderWork installed and a TinyFish account. In QoderWork, open Settings → Connectors & MCP > find TinyFish > click Connect > Finish the OAuth flow.
Then start prompting.
A prompt to try:
Use TinyFish Web Agent to catch me up on [a company or person] before a meeting. Check what has changed in the last month across their website, recent news, YouTube, and GitHub. Give me the five things worth knowing, each with a source link.
For other clients (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, ChatGPT), the MCP server URL is agent.tinyfish.ai/mcp. Full steps live in the TinyFish MCP docs.

The era of "the agent could not actually do that part" is closing. QoderWork makes a real agent default on the desktop. TinyFish makes that agent work on the real web.
If you already use QoderWork, install TinyFish from the Integration Market and run your first prompt in the next five minutes. If you are new to TinyFish, sign up at tinyfish.ai, then connect from QoderWork.
