Volcanic Engine has officially launched Doubao Search Service, providing enterprises and developers with cross-language, multimodal, and vertical category network information query capabilities, offering real-time and trustworthy information support for AI agents, and promoting intelligent agents to evolve from simple Q&A to complex task execution.
As AI agents gradually take on long-process tasks, traditional single search and information retrieval methods are no longer sufficient. The new generation of intelligent agents not only need to obtain information but also need continuous searching, understanding web content, cross-verifying results, and dynamically adjusting retrieval strategies according to task progress. Doubao Search has been optimized to directly output original Markdown and structured data suitable for agent calls, and supports precise queries, semantic expansion, multi-round retrieval enhancement, and other capabilities.
Regarding information credibility, Doubao Search has established a source authority classification system, governing quality from two dimensions: websites and creators. It combines global Internet information, industry professional knowledge, and ByteDance's exclusive content resources to reduce the impact of low-quality content and search optimization content on results, providing more reliable information sources for agents.
According to the introduction, Doubao Search has shown outstanding performance in several public evaluations such as SimpleQA, FreshQA, and BrowseComp-ZH. It continuously optimizes in scenarios such as factual Q&A, time-sensitive information acquisition, and complex retrieval, improving the accuracy of information when intelligent agents handle real business tasks.
Currently, Doubao Search has been applied in multiple fields such as knowledge Q&A, office collaboration, financial services, business analysis, and content production. In AI assistant scenarios, Doubao Search has become the information engine behind the smart assistants of most leading mobile phone manufacturers in China; in office, financial research, and business analysis scenarios, it provides agents with real-time news, industry data, and context building capabilities.
In terms of access methods, Doubao Search supports various development approaches including independent API, Skill, MCP, and more. It can also be enabled with one-click configuration through Volcanic Engine Agent Plan, without additional integration, to add online retrieval capabilities to intelligent agents. This service also provides 500 free searches per month, with pay-as-you-go after exceeding, and offers monthly card packages to meet large-scale calling needs.
As AI agents gradually become an important entry point for enterprise intelligent applications, search capabilities are evolving from basic information acquisition tools into essential infrastructure for intelligent agent decision-making and execution. The launch of Doubao Search also reflects that the competition in the AI industry is expanding from model capabilities to a comprehensive competition in data, toolchains, and application ecosystems.
