Our review
Doubao is ByteDance's AI assistant — #1 in China and #2 globally by MAU — multimodal, fast and genuinely free, backed by ByteDance's huge ecosystem for everyday study and work. ByteDance's video model is now Seedance 2.5 (released July 2026: single 30s clips, up to 50 reference assets, local editing), live in Doubao and Jimeng.
Access abroad is restricted, it's consumer-oriented, and there are privacy concerns; but in Chinese-language scenarios its free-plus-capable-plus-versatile combo is very appealing to everyday users.
