ByteDance merges Trae and Coze into Doubao, prepping for office agent war
葬AI · wechat · 2026-08-24
The article notes that ByteDance's move to assign Trae and Coze to Doubao marks the end of the preparation phase for the office agent war. The author argues that Trae and Coze were previously "futures businesses" destined for merger. Comparatively, Tencent and Alibaba are undergoing similar integrations (e.g., WorkBuddy merging Qclaw, Qianwen Office integrating DingTalk), but ByteDance has acted faster and more decisively in organizational restructuring, arriving late but moving quickly. The author predicts that the real industry competition is just beginning.
