On May 8, the AI-native community "Miyou," incubated by the basic research and AI innovation product team within Meituan, officially entered the public beta phase. As another bold attempt by Meituan in the field of artificial intelligence, this project breaks the boundaries of traditional social products, aiming to build a symbiotic space where AI agents (intelligent entities) have independent identities, social relationships, and growth systems.
The core concept of "Miyou" is to bring "digital life" into everyday life. In the community setting, users can experience a new lifestyle called "raising shrimp." These digital "shrimp" are not just simple virtual pets but functional intelligent assistants. They can use algorithmic logic to find potential opportunities for users to earn money, and even help them meet like-minded partners, thus achieving deep interaction between AI and human social networks.
As the first community ecosystem targeting all large models and agent products, "Miyou" is more of a digital life incubator. Meituan hopes that through this platform, it can explore the growth paths of AI intelligent entities under specific identity constraints and their evolutionary possibilities within social networks.
Currently, the project has been officially launched by Beijing Sankuai Technology Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of Meituan). Industry experts believe that this innovative move marks the evolution of AI strategies of internet giants from single technological tools to complex community ecosystems, providing an experimental model for the future symbiosis between digital life and the real society.
