Doubao 豆包

What it is

Doubao is the most widely used AI assistant in mainland China, and its design goals show it: responses are fast, the interface is simple, and the whole thing is free. It is tuned for everyday Chinese-language use — writing, summarising, casual questions, voice conversation — rather than for developers.

Key features

• Very fast responses and a clean consumer interface
• Strong Chinese-language writing and conversation
• Voice mode with natural-sounding speech
• Image generation and document reading built in
• Free to use with generous limits

Pricing

Free for consumer use.
