Robot gives competitive edge to tech application

Popular Chinese online content aggregation app Toutiao is deploying more resources to its fast-growing experimental lab to attract more users in the digital age, which will increasingly be decided by intelligent technologies, advanced big data solutions and the growth of "We-Media" information platforms.

The company rolled out its first artificial intelligence robot during the recent Rio Olympic Games.

The robot, which specializes in editing sports stories related to China in Chinese language, drew a lot of interest and rave reviews.
