ByteDance is preparing its own AI assistant to compete with Meta's Muse, according to Bloomberg. The company could reveal the agent in the coming weeks, but its name and how it will work have not been disclosed. It is not yet clear whether the agent will run on hardware.
Will ByteDance's AI agent rival Meta's Muse?
When could ByteDance reveal its AI agent?
ByteDance is preparing its own AI assistant to take on Meta's Muse, Bloomberg reported. The company could reveal the agent in "the coming weeks," according to the report.
Bloomberg did not say what the agent will be called or how it will work. It said the product will "serve a similar role" to Muse, Meta's AI agent.
Muse has already drawn more than 10 million users. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has predicted the agent could generate more revenue per user than the company's existing family of apps. Muse is also expected to play a significant role in Meta's AI glasses, and Meta has previewed a standalone "charm" for Muse.
It is not clear whether ByteDance plans to put its agent into hardware. The assistant is one piece of the Chinese company's strategy to compete with frontier AI companies. ByteDance cofounder Zhang Yiming recently told employees that it could take "until at least 2029 or 2030" for the company's AI efforts to catch up, Bloomberg reported.
Within AI, ByteDance is best known for Seedance, its video generator. Clips from the model went viral on social media earlier this year, and the videos later drew legal scrutiny from US-based studios.
Could ByteDance's AI agent raise privacy concerns?
If the TikTok maker introduces its own AI agent, it would likely raise new concerns about data privacy and how much access personal agents should have to users' information.
ByteDance did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
