In the wave of digitization, AI technology is profoundly changing people's way of life. On March 20th, Baidu Map announced that the user base of its global first AI-native map "AI Guide" has exceeded 100 million, providing over 10 million dialogue services daily. This milestone achievement signifies that since its debut at the Baidu World Conference last year, AI Guide has emerged as another standout in the domestic large-scale product field, following Wenxin Yiyu, with a user base exceeding 100 million.

With its unique "human-like communication" capability, AI Guide provides users with an unprecedented convenient travel experience. It not only understands user needs but also intelligently utilizes various functions and services of the map to quickly and accurately provide solutions. With the continuous expansion of the user base and the surge in daily interaction dialogue, AI Guide's capabilities have been significantly enhanced under the drive of the data flywheel, achieving a five-fold improvement every three months and realizing exponential evolution.

In practical applications, AI Guide demonstrates powerful intelligent recommendation capabilities. When users inquire about information on tourist attractions, AI Guide not only intelligently recommends relevant attractions but also provides detailed travel guides and panoramic information, allowing users to have a more comprehensive understanding of the attractions. In addition, users can directly make ticket reservations and travel plans on the map, greatly simplifying the operation process.

The convenient interactive experience of AI Guide has also been widely favored by users. Data shows that the 30-40 age group is the main user group of AI Guide, accounting for 36%, and the peak usage period is from 5 pm to 8 pm. This fully demonstrates the important role of AI Guide in daily life and travel.

It is worth mentioning that Baidu Map's AI Guide also possesses powerful multi-turn natural language interaction capabilities, providing a more "human-like communication" experience. This allows users to speak throughout the travel process without the need for manual operation, satisfying needs ranging from dining, entertainment, to parking and charging. In addition, AI Guide supports over 70% of regional dialects nationwide, enabling more users to enjoy the convenience of intelligent travel.

With the continuous development of AI technology and the increasing demands of users, Baidu Map's AI Guide will continue to optimize and upgrade, providing users with more intelligent, convenient, and personalized travel services. In the future, it is expected to become an efficient assistant for billions of users' travel, supporting Baidu Map to continuously lead in the "AI-native map" track.
