2024-03-19

Alibaba's flagship product, Tongyi Tingwu, has recently received an important feature update, introducing six new features including the audio and video question-answering assistant "Xiao Wu", one-click AI rewriting, and mind map generation, providing users with a more convenient and efficient audio and video processing experience.

Tongyi Tingwu's upgrade not only enriches its range of functions but also achieves breakthroughs in functionality depth. Among them, the most eye-catching is the newly launched audio and video question-answering assistant "Xiao Wu". This assistant combines multiple AI technologies to achieve single-record, cross-record, and multilingual free question-answering for ultra-long audio and video, with the supported duration and number of files far exceeding other similar products in the industry.

When using Tongyi Tingwu, users only need to use simple voice commands or text input to quickly locate key information in audio and video. Whether it is asking about a specific topic, organizing key points, or summarizing conclusions, Xiao Wu can quickly provide accurate answers. At the same time, Xiao Wu also supports multilingual processing, allowing users to ask questions in Chinese about English videos, and Xiao Wu will directly answer in Chinese, greatly improving usability.

In addition, Tongyi Tingwu has also added new features such as one-click AI rewriting and mind map generation. The one-click AI rewriting feature can automatically convert colloquial audio and video content into written expressions, making it convenient for users to organize their work. The mind map generation feature can automatically generate mind maps based on audio and video content, helping users better understand and organize information.

In terms of user experience, Tongyi Tingwu has also made various detailed optimizations. For example, the note-taking function now supports one-click insertion of video timestamps and screenshots, making it easy for users to locate key content. At the same time, the language of audio and video files can also be automatically recognized, reducing the hassle of manual settings for users.

In order to further promote the use of Tongyi Tingwu, Alibaba has also launched the "University Public Welfare Program". Mainland Chinese university teachers and students can obtain a certain duration of free transcription service and enjoy a significant increase in storage space after authentication with their educational email.

It is reported that since its release in June last year, Tongyi Tingwu has attracted millions of users, covering students, teachers, white-collar workers, journalists, lawyers, financial analysts, and other groups. The user activity is also very high, with an average of more than 3 audio and video transcriptions per day, and the platform processes up to 2 billion characters every day.

The continuous upgrade and innovation of Tongyi Tingwu not only improves users' work efficiency but also demonstrates Alibaba's profound strength in the field of artificial intelligence. In the future, Tongyi Tingwu will continue to explore more possibilities and provide users with a more intelligent and convenient audio and video processing experience.
