ByteDance Consolidates AI Office Tools Around Doubao

ByteDance Ltd. is consolidating its workplace AI tools under Doubao as China’s biggest internet companies intensify competition to make AI agents the new gateway for office work.

The company on Tuesday launched Doubao Work, an AI productivity product that combines workplace agents with ByteDance’s Feishu collaboration platform. The move is intended to better coordinate product and technical resources, while preserving existing users’ rights and services, ByteDance told Caixin in a statement.

The launch follows a series of organizational changes that have elevated Doubao as ByteDance’s central AI product. In July, ByteDance split the Feishu team, merging its product operations with Doubao while folding Feishu’s enterprise sales operations into Volcano Engine.
