- Doubao has launched a Pro version based on the 2.1 series models with monthly tiers from 68 to 500 RMB.
- The new "Office Task Mode" allows the AI to operate local computers, browsers, and create production-grade web apps with backend databases.
- University students can access a discounted standard rate of 38 RMB/month for the first six months.
This is a significant pivot from a simple chatbot to a functional "AI Agent." The ability to actually interact with a local OS and browser—rather than just spitting out text—puts it in direct competition with the "Computer Use" trends we're seeing globally.
The pricing strategy is interesting; by offering three distinct tiers, they are clearly targeting different user segments, from casual power users to enterprise-level professionals. The high-end 500 RMB tier suggests they are confident in the value of the automated workflow and app-generation capabilities. If the local computer integration is seamless, this could drastically change how we handle repetitive office drudgery.
