Doubao has announced plans to introduce a 'Professional Version' aimed at meeting advanced productivity needs in software development, data analysis, professional design, process automation, financial analysis, and scientific research. According to PANews, the product is currently in the testing phase, with the official launch date and specific service details to be announced through official channels.
The company emphasized that core functions for general users, such as search Q&A, text creation, image generation, and voice and video conversations, will remain free, ensuring no impact on the current user experience and habits. Doubao also plans to continue offering new models, capabilities, and experience upgrades to free users, with some professional version features available in limited free amounts.
Additionally, Doubao clarified that recent online rumors suggesting a reduction in basic functionality to force users into purchasing memberships are false.
