ByteDance restructures ToB landscape: Feishu merges into Doubao, tech giants battle for 'AI work entry'

ByteDance is restructuring its ToB business by merging Feishu (Lark), its enterprise collaboration platform, into Doubao, its AI product. This integration aims to create an AI-powered work entry, leveraging Doubao's large model capabilities to enhance Feishu's features. The move intensifies competition among major Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba's DingTalk and Tencent's WeCom, which are also incorporating AI into their office software. ByteDance seeks to differentiate its offering by combining AI with productivity tools to capture enterprise customers.
