## Summary

ByteDance is reportedly preparing an AI assistant that could be unveiled in the coming weeks, positioning it to compete with Meta’s Muse. The move would add a personal agent to ByteDance’s efforts to catch up with leading AI companies, though its planned features and launch details have not been reported.

Bloomberg says the assistant would serve a role similar to Muse, which has attracted more than 10 million users and may be integrated into Meta’s AI glasses. It is unclear whether ByteDance has hardware plans for its agent. Co-founder Zhang Yiming has reportedly told staff that catching up in AI could take until at least 2029 or 2030; the company is better known for its Seedance video generator, and its agent could raise questions about personal data access.
