Baidu Unveils Next-Generation Agent Products at Create 2026 Event

On May 13, 2026, at its annual developer conference, Baidu introduced a groundbreaking lineup of AI agents that aim to transform the landscape of artificial intelligence. Spearheading this initiative is Baidu's Co-founder and CEO Robin Li, who proposed the concept of Daily Active Agents (DAA) as the industry’s new benchmark for success, paralleling the mobile internet's Daily Active Users (DAU).

The Significance of Daily Active Agents

Li emphasized that existing metrics in the industry often reflect costs, not the actual value generated. According to him, understanding the health of a platform requires focusing on the number of active agents creating tangible results. He predicts that the number of global DAAs could ultimately exceed 10 billion, highlighting a major shift in how AI's effectiveness is quantified.

Introducing the New AI Agent Lineup

Baidu showcased several key products under its new agent portfolio:

1. DuMate - A general-purpose AI agent capable of real-time tasks across mobile and PC platforms, DuMate facilitates 24/7 functionality, allowing users to work seamlessly from any location. It can read screens, operate software, and integrate various business systems, making it a versatile tool for productivity.

2. Miaoda - This innovative coding agent allows users to create applications without requiring any programming skills. The launch of the app and enterprise edition enables anyone to develop applications, effectively democratizing software development. With 90% of its code generated autonomously, Miaoda is setting the stage for a shift towards disposable software—applications designed for specific, short-term purposes.

3. Baidu Yijing - Formerly known as the Huiboxing platform, Baidu Yijing is a digital human platform that can create interactive content, from live streams to videos. The platform's upgraded features include enhanced localization and the capability to generate content in multiple languages, fostering creativity and engagement.

4. Famou Agent 2.0 - This upgraded self-evolving agent is designed to tackle complex operational challenges across various industries.

Infrastructure Boost with New AI Cloud

Complementing these products, Baidu has rolled out extensive upgrades to its AI Cloud infrastructure, facilitating large-scale agent applications. Enhanced AI and Agent Infrastructure will significantly bolster the capabilities of these agents and support the development of advanced technologies, ensuring their effectiveness and impact on various sectors.

The Future of AI with Baidu

Robin Li's vision for the future sees a transformative phase where individuals evolve into 'super individuals' who leverage AI for greater productivity. As developers assume roles as builders and creators within the agent era, the line between traditional job functions diminishes, suggesting a new paradigm of work where collaboration between humans and AI becomes the norm.

As the company continues to innovate, Baidu's new agent products not only reflect advancements in technology but also signify a cultural shift in how society interacts with artificial intelligence, heralding a future where the collaboration between humans and agents leads to unprecedented outcomes in productivity and creativity.
