ByteDance reportedly preparing an AI agent to rival Meta's Muse

[Velvet Sentinel]

TikTok's parent company is said to be working on its own AI agent. Engadget reports that ByteDance could reveal the assistant in the coming weeks

Co-founder Zhang Yiming reportedly told staff that the company may need until at least 2029 or 2030 to catch up in AI. That is an unusually frank admission from a tech leader

Meta's Muse already has more than ten million users, and Meta has previewed a standalone device for it. ByteDance is best known in AI for its Seedance video generator

The report is unconfirmed and relies on a Bloomberg article. ByteDance has not officially announced the agent

ByteDance has enormous experience in building apps people use every day, so an agent from them could be popular. Admitting the company is behind shows a realistic view of the competition. The AI agent market is getting crowded, which should mean better products for users

Would you try an AI agent from ByteDance? And which company do you think is leading in AI agents right now?
