Baidu says monthly AI tool users passes 25 million

Baidu said monthly active users of its artificial intelligence tools for office work have surpassed 25 million, as the Chinese technology giant launches a standalone version of its GenFlow AI agent to challenge for a bigger share of the fast-growing AI productivity market.

At its AI Day event on Friday, Baidu said GenFlow, the general-purpose AI agent developed by its document platform and cloud storage service, would adopt the Chinese name "Kuku AI".

GenFlow's overall monthly active users surpassed 100 million in April, while its AI office products now have more than 25 million monthly active users, which Baidu said made it the largest general-purpose AI office platform by MAU.
