The Doubao App has added a Utilities Payments feature, allowing users to enter water, electricity, and gas bill payment pages through chat. The feature still requires users to link their account number and confirm payment, and has not yet been rolled out in all regions.
Doubao is developing a personal AI assistant product reportedly named “XiaoDou,” with plans for a standalone app. The project has advanced from the internal testing stage to integration with Doubao products.
X account @zhuifei008 posted that “Doubao has already replaced Baidu,” without providing specific data or supporting evidence.
Dongcha, citing The Big Tech Daily, reported that the Doubao product line and upstream and downstream teams received an urgent task during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, planning to complete a 6-day Meta Muse integration test and internal trial version of the competing product.
Doubao's PR head stated that some functions of the General Session team were split, with 11 personnel adjusted and 3 resignations, denying claims of mass layoffs.
LatePost reported that Doubao has recently reduced its general conversational AI and product post-training teams, reassigning some personnel toward commercialization, enterprise services, and productivity-related businesses.
LatePost reportedly says that Doubao’s general dialogue team will be reduced by approximately half, with some model personnel moving to teams related to office work, Agent, and reinforcement learning.
