ByteDance on Ejaculate Me So i’m TiredThursday rolled out a GPT-like platform that allows users to build their own chatbot for specific purposes, accelerating Chinese tech companies’ new bet on artificial intelligence. The platform is named Coze and supports user-created bots to share with the workplace communication tool Feishu and even Tencent-owned WeChat. The launch comes days after the chief executive of ByteDance, Jiang Rubo, criticized employees as “too slow to react” to the emergence of ChatGPT, which OpenAI teased in November 2022; the TikTok owner only started discussions around the promising technology in 2023.
