In-depth Report

  • Super Assistant is an AI intelligent assistant built by Baidu Intelligent Cloud based on Wenxin Yiyan's large model. It was first launched at the WAVE SUMMIT Deep Learning Developer Conference on August 16, 2023, and entered the public beta stage in December 2023. The product takes the browser plug-in (Web Copilot) as its core form and supports functions such as article translation, copywriting creation, web page summary, and knowledge Q&A. It is currently in the free public beta stage and can be used by all users for free. As an important part of Baidu's AI strategy, Super Assistant is positioned as the "browser intelligent brain" and aims to improve the intelligence level of daily work and life.

  • Super Assistant is developed and released by Baidu Intelligent Cloud. As China's leading AI company, Baidu has been in the field of large models for a long time, and Wenxinyiyan is its core language model product. The super assistant made its debut at the WAVE SUMMIT Deep Learning Developer Conference on August 16, 2023, and is an important part of Baidu's AI product matrix. In December 2023, the product will enter the public beta stage, and users can apply to experience it. According to Baidu Intelligent Cloud's plan, it will expand to independent applications in the future, and at the same time create exclusive intelligent assistant "Super Assistant Industry Edition" for industry, finance, government affairs, law, education, automobile and other industries. From the perspective of product architecture, Super Assistant consists of two parts: Copilot application terminal and assistant development platform. The Copilot application walks with users in the form of a browser plug-in, deeply integrating into users' daily browsing and work scenarios. The assistant development platform is aimed at enterprise users and supports customized development.

  • The core functions of the super assistant revolve around daily office work and knowledge processing. The product mainly provides the following functions: Article translation: Supports multi-language translation services, and users can quickly obtain translation results of foreign content. Copywriting creation: Assist users in creative copywriting and improve writing efficiency. Whether you need something for marketing copy or a work report, Super Assistant can help. Web page summary: Automatically extract and summarize the key points of web page content to help users quickly grasp the core information of long text content. This feature is especially useful for scenarios where you need to browse a large amount of information. Knowledge Q&A: Answer various knowledge questions to meet users’ daily query needs. Plug-in tool calling: Supports calling plug-in tools to handle more tasks and realize function expansion and customization. From the perspective of product form, Super Assistant takes Web Copilot (browser plug-in) as its core form. Unlike traditional browser plug-ins, super assistants can sense user needs and achieve a "companion-style" AI assistant experience. After users install the plug-in, they can invoke AI capabilities at any time when browsing the web to implement conversational search, document processing and other functions. Currently, the product supports mainstream browsers such as Chrome, Edge, 360 Browser, and QQ Browser.

  • According to the current public information, Super Assistant is in the free public beta stage and can be used by all users for free. This strategy helps the product quickly accumulate users and feedback, laying the foundation for subsequent commercialization. As the technical base of the super assistant, Baidu Intelligent Cloud's commercialization path may include: customized services for corporate customers, payment for API calls, and possible membership subscription systems. Considering that Baidu has also launched "Super Assistant Industry Edition" for industries such as industry, finance, government affairs, law, education, automobiles and other industries, the enterprise market may be an important source of revenue.

  • Judging from public information, users’ evaluations of super assistants are generally positive. The main positive feedback includes: powerful AI capabilities, fast response speed, free use and high cost performance. Users recognize that its web page summary and knowledge question and answer functions improve work efficiency. Some users mentioned that as a Baidu product, the deep integration of Super Assistant and Wen Xin Yiyan makes it perform well in the Chinese context. The product’s ability to understand and generate Chinese content has been recognized by users. There are also some suggestions for improvements. Some users mentioned that they hope to add more plug-in support and optimize response accuracy in specific scenarios. Some users are also looking forward to the early launch of an independent application version of the product to get rid of dependence on the browser.

  • From an industry perspective, the launch of super assistant is an important layout of Baidu’s AI strategy. Baidu Intelligent Cloud directly reaches end users through the product Super Assistant, realizing the extension from the technical layer to the application layer. Industry analysts believe that the positioning of the super assistant is similar to Microsoft Copilot, both of which embed AI capabilities into users’ daily workflow. Baidu's advantage lies in its technology accumulation in the Chinese context and Baidu Intelligent Cloud's channel accumulation in the enterprise market. The public beta phase in December 2023 received good market attention. Industry media generally believe that Baidu Smart Cloud’s launch of super assistant marks a new stage of development for its AI applications. With the opening of the public beta, users will be able to experience new changes brought about by the development of AI technology.

  • As an AI assistant product, super assistants also face some common challenges. The accuracy and reliability of AI-generated content remain the focus of users. Especially in professional fields (such as law and medicine), whether AI assistants can provide accurate information needs to be verified. Data security and privacy protection are another important topic. As a Baidu product, Super Assistant will process users’ browsing data and question content. Users need to understand how the data is processed and the scope of use when using it. In addition, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Super assistants need to compete with AI products from major manufacturers such as ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent. Product differentiation competitiveness and user experience will be the key.

  • Super Assistant is suitable for the following groups: white-collar workers who need to process a large amount of information, users who need to read and organize a large number of documents in daily work, individual users who are interested in AI tools and want to improve work efficiency, and enterprise users who need Chinese AI assistants. For ordinary users, it is recommended to start with the free public beta and focus on trying the web page summary and knowledge question and answer functions. For enterprise users, you can pay attention to the subsequent industry versions of Baidu Smart Cloud to obtain customized services. The product is still in the public beta stage, and some functions may be unstable during use. It is recommended that users maintain reasonable expectations and report problems to the official in a timely manner.

  • Super Assistant is an AI intelligent assistant created by Baidu Intelligent Cloud based on Wen Xinyiyan. It provides functions such as article translation, copywriting creation, web page summary, and knowledge Q&A in the form of a browser plug-in. It is currently in the free public beta stage and users can experience it for free. The core advantage of the product lies in Baidu's technology accumulation in the Chinese AI field and Baidu Intelligent Cloud's enterprise-level service capabilities. As the product matures and commercialization advances, super assistants are expected to become an important player in the domestic AI assistant market.
