[Doubao by ByteDance Launches Task Mode on a Large Scale: Supports Webpage and PPT Generation, Thinking Mode Upgraded to Expert Mode] According to monitoring by Beating, ByteDance's AI application Doubao has launched Task Mode on a large scale, changing the mode options at the top of the app interface to Quick, Expert, and Task. At the same time, the Thinking Mode has been upgraded to Expert Mode. Task Mode focuses on intelligent agent capabilities, enabling full-chain execution from task decomposition, step planning, tool invocation, to result delivery. Once users input a clear goal, Doubao can automatically perform backend operations such as online searches, content generation, webpage creation, or PPT generation. Currently, the core features supported by Task Mode include zero-code webpage creation for personal portfolios within minutes, one-click generation of complete PPTs, and automatic data visualization analysis (e.g., bar charts or line charts) after uploading Excel files. Task Mode also supports scheduling tasks, allowing reports, data organization, or image generation to be automatically batch-processed in the background at preset times. Unlike Task Mode, which emphasizes execution and delivery, the upgraded Expert Mode focuses more on the quality of thought. Expert Mode leverages Doubao's 2.0 Pro large model, built on a native Agent architecture, providing deep reasoning capabilities in complex scenarios such as mathematical reasoning, long-text processing, and legal document validation. In terms of pricing, Doubao's basic features, such as daily Q&A and general conversations, will remain free, while paid features are primarily targeted at high-computation professional scenarios like PPT generation, data analysis, software development, and financial analysis. Doubao Professional Edition pricing is divided into three tiers: Standard Edition at ¥68 per month or ¥688 per year, Enhanced Edition at ¥200 per month or ¥2,048 per year, and Professional Edition at ¥500 per month or ¥5,088 per year.
