What is Doubao?
Doubao is ByteDance's AI assistant for Chinese-speaking users, available on the web, desktop and mobile. It answers questions, writes and translates text, generates images and video, and connects with ByteDance services such as Douyin.
Doubao supports voice calls with natural speech, photo-based questions, document reading and a browser extension for summarizing pages. It runs ByteDance's Seed models and is aimed mainly at users in mainland China.
In July 2026, new Chinese rules on humanlike AI companions led Doubao to remove its custom companion agents, while productivity and general chat features remain. Most features are free to use.
