Doubao Launches Professional Edition Starting at 68 RMB, Debuts with Office Agent Mode for Computer Operation

Odaily: The AI assistant Doubao, developed by ByteDance, has officially launched its Professional Edition service. Based on the newly released Doubao 2.1 series model, the Professional Edition is designed for users in complex office and productivity scenarios, offering higher usage quotas and introducing for the first time an office task mode capable of executing Agent tasks.

According to the introduction, with user authorization, the office task mode can directly operate the local computer and browser, assisting with tasks such as document processing, spreadsheets, and data organization. It also supports cross-application automated operations like automatically publishing scheduled Weibo posts. This mode comes with an integrated Office suite, supports multi-round editing and collaboration on online documents, spreadsheets, and PPTs, and provides Skills packages for creative design, data visualization, and financial analysis, while also allowing users to customize their own skills.

Additionally, the Doubao Professional Edition supports scheduled tasks, which can automatically generate daily reports and summary information. In application development scenarios, it also supports quickly building online application systems with back-end databases. The related database functionality is currently in gray-scale testing.

In terms of pricing, the standard subscription plan for the Professional Edition is 68 RMB per month (continuous monthly billing), accessing the Doubao 2.1 Pro model. The quotas for office tasks and expert mode are increased by more than 5 times compared to the free version. The enhanced subscription plan is 200 RMB per month (continuous monthly billing), with quotas 4 times that of the standard plan.
