ByteDance's Doubao reportedly racing to build a China rival to Meta's Muse agent in 6 days
yangyi · x · 2026-09-28
Unverified reports claim ByteDance's Doubao team was given an urgent, ultra-high-priority mandate over the holiday to rapidly rebuild its product and rival Meta AI's Muse, with a deadline of just 6 days.
Muse is a fully managed AI assistant that can book flights, send emails, fill forms, and even take over social apps to reply to messages on the user's behalf — it once topped the US App Store free chart. The reported goal: beat Tencent and Alibaba to the 'fully managed AI agent' market in China.
