Add Doubao to your hut →Doubao is ByteDance's AI assistant and the most widely used AI chat app in China. It handles text chat, writing help, image creation, and voice conversation in a single interface — closer to a Chinese-market equivalent of ChatGPT than a narrow chatbot.
Free to use on web and mobile. Primarily marketed to Chinese users and integrated with ByteDance's broader ecosystem. The underlying Seed series models are also available internationally via API, and are increasingly used in developer products outside China.
