Chinese tech giant Baidu has announced that it will drop the paywalls for its chatbot services, Ernie Bot, in response to the rapid rise of DeepSee, a rival AI chatbot. DeepSee, developed by Chinese AI startup, has gained immense popularity in China, with millions of users flocking to the platform.
Baidu's decision to drop the paywalls is seen as a strategic move to compete with DeepSee's free services. Ernie Bot, which was launched in 2021, offers a range of AI-powered chatbot services, including customer support and language translation.
The rise of DeepSee has disrupted the Chinese AI chatbot market, forcing established players like Baidu to rethink their strategies. DeepSee's success can be attributed to its user-friendly interface, accurate responses, and free services, which have resonated with Chinese users.
The competition between Baidu and DeepSee is expected to intensify, with both companies investing heavily in AI research and development. The outcome of this competition will likely shape the future of the Chinese AI chatbot market.
