Today, with the rapid development of technology, AI assistants have gradually become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. On December 24, DeepSeek officially interacted with Yuanbao on Xiaohongshu, liked and responded to Yuanbao's annual report, which was a rare public interaction that attracted widespread attention in the industry.

According to the "Yuanbao × DeepSeek Annual Report," since connecting with DeepSeek in February this year, Yuanbao's user base has steadily grown and reached a usage peak on December 14, with a growth of more than 100 times. This achievement has firmly placed Yuanbao among the top three domestic native AI applications. It is worth mentioning that DeepSeek in Yuanbao is no longer just a question-and-answer tool; it is more like a thinking partner that can engage in deep conversations. During the usage process, more than one-third of the dialogues between users and DeepSeek revolve around the same question through multiple rounds of continuous questioning, indicating users' dependence on and trust in AI.

In user scenarios, DeepSeek seems to have become a 24/7 "personal assistant." During the day, it accompanies users at work, while in the evening, the use of the Yuanbao app increases significantly, as users use it for chatting and relaxing. At the same time, Yuanbao is always ready in WeChat to meet users' various needs. This change reflects how AI assistants have gradually shifted from occasional use to becoming part of daily life.

To enhance the user experience, the Yuanbao team continuously optimizes DeepSeek, improving response efficiency and speed. Yuanbao also launched the "DeepSeek+" strategy, supplementing multi-modal capabilities with its self-developed large model, ensuring that AI assistants can provide more comprehensive information and services during user interactions.

Now, when using Yuanbao, users not only get official DeepSeek support but can also enjoy additional features such as image processing, making calls, and understanding documents. More excitingly, users can interact with Yuanbao in comment sections during social activities without switching apps, allowing AI assistants to easily integrate into users' daily lives.

As more and more people rely on AI assistants, the "mutual efforts" between DeepSeek and Yuanbao have not only driven the advancement of AI technology but also made AI gradually become a helpful companion in people's work and lives.
