Doubao (Chinese: 豆包) is an artificial intelligence assistant developed by ByteDance.

History

[edit]

The Doubao chatbot was launched in August 2023.

By November 2024, it had become China's most popular AI chatbot, with approximately 60 million monthly active users according to industry analytics.[1]

By May 2026, Doubao had 330 million users. In the same month, ByteDance announced the introduction of subscription tiers to Doubao.[2]

Design

[edit]

Doubao is powered by the Doubao Large Model (Chinese: 豆包大模型) of the Volcano Engine (or Volcengine; Chinese: 火山引擎), which uses 120 trillion tokens per day.[3][4]

Doubao operates mainly as a chatbot assistant[5] which supports text, image and voice generation,[6] alongside AI-powered search functions. It may also be used as an in-car voice assistant integrated in Mainland Chinese offerings of Tesla electric vehicles.[7][8][9]

Doubao models use natural language processing to create a friendly, conversational image when interacting with its users.[10][11][12][13]

Doubao previously permitted the creation of AI agents (Chinese: 智能體)[14] within the app. The function is currently discontinued to comply with a new regulation concerning AI agents.[15][16][17][18][19][20]

Variants

[edit]

Dola

[edit]

Dola is the international version of Doubao.[21][22] It was launched in August 2023, previously known as Cici.[23]

Unlike Doubao, Dola was powered by OpenAI's GPT series of large language models and by Google's Gemini,[24] until February 2026 when they started using in-house Seed models, rolling out fully in April 2026.
