Exclusive | Baidu launches the “Xin Xiang” App, is the alternative version of Mauns coming?
Baidu's "Xin Xiang" App and Byte's "Kuzi Space" lead the AI intelligent body track and usher in the era of intelligent decision-making and execution.
Core content:
1. Baidu's "Xin Xiang" App and Byte's "Kuzi Space" AI intelligent body product features and functional experience
2. The competition landscape of the general intelligent body track from startups testing the waters to giants fighting
3. The technical barriers, homogeneous competition and commercialization challenges faced by general intelligent bodies
After the general AI agent Mauns quickly ignited the entire technology circle , major companies also rushed to lay out this track. Tech Planet exclusively learned that Baidu launched an app called "Xin Xiang" on April 17, and the overall experience is similar to Mauns. And just one day later, on the 18th, ByteDance's Kouzi also targeted Mauns and launched the general agent collaboration platform " Kuzi Space " .
According to the official introduction, " Xin Xiang " is a mobile super-intelligent product with "AI task completion engine" as its core, which helps users to realize complex task decomposition, dynamic execution and visual result delivery through natural language interaction. Relying on the large model and multi-agent collaboration capabilities, it enables intelligent decision-making, efficient scheduling, closed-loop solutions and full-process hosting in core life scenarios such as knowledge analysis, travel planning, learning and office.
Tech Planet discovered that after entering the " Xin Xiang " App, the "Inspiration" interface on the homepage has channels such as Wow, Routine Tasks, City Travel, AI Blind Date, and Smart Charts, and each channel has various task templates.
Users can experience the full-process task hosting by replaying, trying, and creating new tasks . For example, after choosing to create a new task, click Smart Chart, enter a paragraph to help me create a GDP chart of Wuhan in the past five years, and in less than 20 seconds, a bar chart of GDP and per capita GDP can be generated.
In addition, in terms of high-frequency task hosting, such as daily children's story generation, gold price monitoring, stock fluctuation monitoring, etc., AI can automatically execute and push results.
The emergence of intelligent products means a key turning point for artificial intelligence from the "dialogue era" to the "execution era". It aims to directly deliver the complete results required by users by autonomously planning, executing and verifying complex tasks, rather than just providing suggestions.
With the successive launches of Baidu's " Xin Xiang " and Byte's " Kuzi Space " , the general intelligent body track has entered the "giant melee" stage from the "startup companies testing the waters" stage.
Behind this differentiated strategy is the layout of "AI terminalization" by all parties. At a time when the mobile Internet dividend has peaked, the value of mobile apps is reconstructed through intelligent entities.
However, industry challenges still exist . The technical barriers of general intelligent agents have not yet been fully established. Core capabilities rely on large models and tool chain integration, and face homogeneous competition. In addition, at the commercial level, users' acceptance of "paid hosting services" still needs to be cultivated.
As an industry insider said , "The current competition is essentially a competition of 'scenario definition capabilities'. Whoever can tap into the unmet 'task needs' of users will gain an advantage in the blue ocean of intelligent agents."
It is foreseeable that more large companies will enter the market, and 2025 will become the first year of large-scale commercial use of intelligent bodies. The ripples of this technological revolution have just begun to spread.
