  A new "brain", the foundation for Xiaodu’s ecological prosperity

  The upgrade of DuerOS X allows Xiaodu’s interactive experience to achieve a qualitative leap and further enhance user stickiness. Thereby promoting the prosperity of Xiaodu’s ecological development.

  At the sub-forum of Xiaodu AI Intelligent Life at this Baidu Developer Conference, Shen Jian, General Manager of Xiaodu Intelligent Ecology Business Department, invited Huang Shuangxi, General Manager of iQIYI – Smart Home and Vehicle to Everything Business Department, to introduce in depth the application scenarios of Xiaodu’s most important content cooperation sector under the blessing of the big model. As a leading video portal in China, under the empowerment of Xiaodu AI big model, on the one hand, it has achieved comprehensive quality improvement and efficiency in content creation such as planning, production, publicity, etc., and continued to output high-quality content; on the other hand, through AI content recognition, AI intelligent search, AI virtual companionship and other functions, to create a better content consumption situation and work together to create the best entertainment experience in the AI big model era.

  Fully revolutionize the ecological layout and lead a new beacon for smart life

  In Xiaodu’s intelligent ecosystem business, it mainly focuses on the two themes of "live" and "line", and builds intelligent interaction industry solutions through Xiaodu’s assistant capabilities. After years of layout, it is currently deeply deployed in multiple scenarios such as home, hotel, car smart cabin, smart wearable, etc., providing complete scenario solutions. With Xiaodu Assistant fully upgraded DuerOS
X, interaction, understanding and reasoning capabilities have been greatly improved, which provides more powerful ammunition for applications in front-end business scenarios. At the same time, at this conference, Shen Jian, general manager of Xiaodu Intelligent Ecological Business, also introduced innovative marketing capabilities based on home scenarios, revolutionizing the traditional advertising model.

  Xiaodu Whole House Smart — Xiaodu creates a panoramic display of intelligent life, and is also a masterpiece of Xiaodu AI technology, innovative products, and ecological construction. At the forum, Shen Jian introduced a number of blockbuster new products of Xiaodu Whole House Smart in 2024, including Xiaodu Smart Central Control Screen Pro, Xiaodu Boyue Smart Switch, Xiaodu Wangshu series lamps, Xiaodu World Smart Knob, etc. New products will be released in 2024.

  In addition, Xiaodu is committed to building a strong and open ecosystem. So far, Xiaodu has connected with more than 1,500 high-quality brands and platforms, with a rich ecosystem of more than 70 categories, and will continue to adhere to the rich growth of the category ecosystem in the future.

  With the brain-changing reconstruction of the Baidu ERNIE Bot model, and the blessing of the world’s first AI native operating system – DuerOS X, Xiaodu Whole House Intelligence" AI Butler Agent " At the meeting, Shen Jian introduced the innovative functions based on the "brain change" revolution, such as AI atmosphere division, small mind reading, and cloud intelligence.

  "AI Atmosphere" is based on DuerOS
X’s decision-making system and generation system allow Xiaodu to design a new atmosphere for users in just one sentence. "Xiaodu Xiaodu, spring is coming, I want to fill my home with a spring atmosphere"… Xiaodu will dig out the deep meaning behind the instructions, generate solutions that can create an atmosphere, such as lighting, music, audio-visual, temperature and humidity and other multi-device linkage adjustment to achieve the overall atmosphere effect, and create different family wisdom scenes at will.

"Xiaodu Mind Reading" provides more humanized, life-oriented, and intelligent life services, reshaping the definition of smart life, and achieving true "whatever you want". Xiaodu continuously remembers and learns users’ living habits, understands current needs, makes environmental judgments, and calls personalized memory systems. Under the in-depth decision-making system, it more actively and accurately provides humanized life help that meets your living habits and is humanized. For example, "AI commonly used lights", in daily life, users will turn on lights in different positions according to different time periods, Xiaodu is based on the memory system and decision-making system, and provides different responses to the instructions given by users at different time periods. Shouting "Xiaodu turn on the lights" in the morning can turn on the bedside lamp, and shouting "Xiaodu turn on the lights" at night will turn on the ambient light, which is based on different user habits.
