Available on both the Doubao mobile app and the Koze PC platform, the feature allows users to upload images via photo or camera buttons to analyze their content.
The “Image Understanding” functionality identifies elements and basic features within pictures. Users can use it to explore landmarks, identify characters from movies or TV shows, and gain detailed insights about the content of their images.
This addition follows Doubao’s recent launch of a video generation beta in November. The feature enables one-click video creation from images and text, incorporating dynamic camera movements and coordinated multiple angles tailored to specific styles.
Despite Doubao’s strong performance in market influence, user activity, and engagement, a report by IDC in September highlighted areas for growth. While the AI assistant excels in entertainment-driven functionality, user feedback suggests that there is room for improvement in offering a richer, more diverse feature set to enhance overall experience.
Doubao’s latest updates are part of ByteDance’s efforts to evolve its AI tools, aiming to strike a balance between entertainment and practicality for its growing user base.
