Baidu's Universal Agent 'Dazi' Named WAIC 2026 'Treasure of the Hall' as Baidu Showcases Full Agent Lineup
Baidu's universal intelligent agent 'Baidu Dazi' has been awarded the prestigious 'Treasure of the Hall' honor at WAIC 2026, with fewer than 10 products selected annually. Baidu is showcasing its full agent ecosystem at the conference, including Miaoda, Yijing, GenFlow 4.0, and the DAA (Daily Active Agents) white paper co-released with IDC.
Baidu's universal intelligent agent 'Baidu Dazi' has been named a 'Treasure of the Hall' at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), one of the highest honors in the exhibition segment. The selection evaluates products across dimensions including technological innovation, market potential, versatility, and socioeconomic impact, with fewer than 10 products chosen each year.
Baidu Dazi is a productivity tool designed for deep office workflow integration. Users simply describe their goal, and Dazi understands the requirements, decomposes the task, calls relevant tools, and completes complex cross-application and cross-file work, delivering usable results. It embeds multiple professional skill modules and integrates Baidu Search AI APIs, the Miaoda no-code platform, and the Famu decision-making agent.
Since its launch, Dazi has seen daily queries grow 20-fold, making it the fastest-growing universal agent. Its personal edition recently upgraded with intelligent routing, multi-device shared memory, browser invocation, and PPT generation capabilities. It also launched the industry's first professional media suite and an enterprise edition.
At WAIC 2026, Baidu is also showcasing its broader agent portfolio. Miaoda, the no-code development platform, is releasing significant capability upgrades focused on application growth and business deployment. The digital human agent Yijing is demonstrating improved realism and production efficiency. GenFlow 4.0, co-developed by Baidu Docs and Baidu Cloud Drive, has surpassed 100 million monthly active users.
On the enterprise front, the self-evolving decision agent Famu is demonstrating applications in production scheduling and process optimization. Baidu is also showcasing enterprise-grade agents including Baidu Yijian and Hogee.
The company is presenting its full-stack AI architecture — dubbed 'chip-cloud-model-agent' — spanning Kunlun Core chips, Baidu AI Cloud, the ERNIE large model family, and intelligent agents. Baidu founder Robin Li's DAA (Daily Active Agents) metric, proposed earlier this year, is gaining industry traction. During WAIC, Baidu and IDC jointly released the DAA White Paper to promote the metric toward global standardization.
Why it matters
Baidu's Dazi-led agent ecosystem debuts at WAIC with the DAA white paper, signaling the company's push to establish agent activity metrics as an industry-wide standard.
