ByteDance is merging its Trae coding platform and Coze agent-building tool into its flagship AI chatbot, Doubao. The reorganization centralizes AI developer products to strengthen the company's push into the enterprise productivity market.
ByteDance plans to launch a standalone app named Doubao Work as early as this week. The new product will compete directly with Tencent’s WorkBuddy, the current market leader for AI office tools in China.
This consolidation follows the recent integration of the Lark workplace collaboration software into the Doubao unit. The move aligns internal resources to establish Doubao as the company's core AI business pillar.
