ByteDance is reportedly testing a personal AI assistant tied to Doubao and plans to release it as a standalone app. The product has been given the tentative Chinese name Xiaodou (小豆), according to a report cited by IT Home.
The app remains in internal testing, and its public name and features may change before launch. Earlier reports said the project, previously known internally as “Spell,” was being developed by the team behind the Doubao phone assistant. [IT Home, in Chinese]
