Another Chinese company has reached a significant number of monthly users who find its AI assistant useful.
Baidu AI assistant has reached 200 million monthly active users.
Ernie Bot, the AI assistant, is integrated into the Baidu search engine on PCs and in the Baidu search engine application.
Like many other AI assistants, Ernie can answer questions, find flights, or order food. It can also generate images, write summaries, and more.
Users can also switch between different AI models, including DeepSeek and Ernie, notes The Wall Street Journal.
The AI assistant is also linked to the company’s platforms, such as Baidu Maps and Baidu Health, which provide users with information tailored to their healthcare needs.
Baidu, known for its search engine, released Ernie Bot in 2023, becoming the first Chinese company to launch an AI chatbot.
However, Baidu has since been competing with other companies, such as Alibaba and ByteDance.
Alibaba has recently reached 100 million monthly active users, after its public beta launch in November 2025.
