Baidu Sets New Standard with Daily Active Agents Metric and Suite of Advanced AI Products
Daily Active Agents Emerge as Key Indicator for the Agent Era
Baidu's CEO Robin Li has declared that it is time to embrace Daily Active Agents (DAA) as the single most important measure of success in the rapidly evolving world of AI. At Baidu Create 2026, he outlined why DAA—representing the number of AI agents actively executing tasks—will replace traditional metrics like Daily Active Users (DAU). This shift signals that AI agents are quickly moving from passive responders to autonomous executors, capable of learning and acting independently.
Li emphasized that while tokens merely measure costs, DAA measures real ecosystem productivity. According to his vision, global DAA could one day top 10 billion, reflecting the exponential growth opportunities in the agent era.
General-Purpose DuMate Agent Streamlines Tasks Across Devices and Applications
Baidu’s general-purpose AI agent, DuMate, took center stage with its new mobile edition. DuMate’s standout features include seamless real-time sync between PC and mobile, the ability to read screens, operate software, process files, and connect business systems. Since releasing its MVP in March, DuMate has rapidly evolved and now delivers state-of-the-art performance across global benchmarks.
Serving as a unified gateway, DuMate integrates other Baidu agents like the Miaoda coding agent and Famou Agent, allowing collaborative workflows for search, coding, research, and data analysis. The aim: make powerful, always-on AI support universally accessible and intuitive.
Coding Agent Miaoda Transforms the Software Development Landscape
The app and enterprise versions of Miaoda highlight Baidu’s ambitions to democratize application creation. Users can generate apps directly without writing code, and the latest Miaoda app itself was coded 90% by Miaoda. The implications are substantial: as development costs shrink close to zero, the idea of “disposable software”—apps built for a single use case—becomes viable and scalable.
Li estimated that the disposable app market could expand tenfold, enabled by platforms like Miaoda and its international sibling, MeDo. This lowers technical barriers and unlocks new business models for rapid, on-demand software development.
Digital Human Platform Baidu Yijing Raises the Bar for Interactive AI
Baidu Yijing, the rebranded digital human platform, now supports 12 languages and features advanced content creation with native lip-sync accuracy. With capabilities spanning livestreaming, video production, and real-time interactivity, Yijing allows businesses and creators to deploy expressive digital human agents globally—offering a compelling, relatable face for AI-driven engagement across markets and languages.
The platform’s three core agent functions—script writing, video production, and intelligent editing—enable round-the-clock, localized digital content for diverse industries, from commerce to entertainment.
Famou Agent 2.0 Delivers Breakthrough in Self-Adaptive Automation
With the upgraded Famou Agent 2.0, Baidu introduces a self-evolving agent that delivers closed-loop, self-verifiable performance improvements. Famou Agent now caters directly to experts in industrial use cases like production scheduling and logistics planning. At a major automated port, it achieved a notable 10.21% improvement in operational efficiency over an already optimized system. Its dominance on the MLE-Bench—winning 9 out of the 15 toughest tasks—reinforces Baidu’s AI leadership.
| Agent Feature | Notable Achievement | Application Example |
|---|---|---|
| DuMate | Real-time PC to mobile sync | Unified gateway for search, coding, and collaboration |
| Miaoda | 90% self-coded app; enables no-code development | Disposable app creation, enterprise automation |
| Yijing | Supports 12 languages, native lip-sync | Global livestream and interactive digital humans |
| Famou Agent 2.0 | 10.21% efficiency boost at key port | Production, logistics, process optimization |
Full-Stack AI Cloud and Infrastructure Power Scalable Agent Solutions
Supporting these advances, Baidu unveiled a comprehensive upgrade to its AI Cloud, optimized for large-scale agent applications. Powered by in-house Kunlunxin AI chips and underpinning the ERNIE 5.1 model—which now ranks #1 among Chinese-language models—Baidu’s infrastructure ensures scalable, cost-effective AI deployment for organizations of any size.
Key Takeaway: Baidu’s Agent-Focused Strategy Reshapes Productivity
Baidu’s shift to measuring AI platform health by Daily Active Agents, combined with innovative offerings like DuMate, Miaoda, Yijing, and Famou Agent 2.0, sets the company apart in the move toward autonomous, outcome-driven AI. This evolution could redefine productivity at scale in businesses worldwide—making the agent era a trend worth watching for anyone interested in the next chapter of AI-driven transformation.
