ByteDance AI assistant powered by Seed models
Updated
Doubao is ByteDance's AI assistant and the family of large language models behind it. The chatbot launched in August 2023 and runs on models built by ByteDance's Seed team. The doubao.com page identifies it as an AI assistant under ByteDance.
Users chat with Doubao on the web or in the app, and the assistant answers with models from ByteDance's Seed team. Third-party sources cite Seed 2.0 as the stable release in February 2026 and Seed 2.1 Pro as a newer flagship in June 2026. The vendor homepage itself shows little detail, so most specifics here come from third-party reports.
Consumers in China who want a free everyday assistant. Third-party sources report about 382 million monthly users in June 2026, making it China's most used AI app.
Doubao was free until June 24, 2026, when ByteDance reportedly launched Doubao Pro at CNY 68, 200 and 500 per month. Third-party reports say search, writing, image generation and voice and video conversation stay free, and the paid tiers mostly buy larger usage quotas. These are not read from the vendor page.
Alternatives include DeepSeek for open-weight reasoning models, Kimi for long-context chat, and Qwen from Alibaba for a competing model family.
