Baidu's Kuku AI Office Product Passes 25M MAU, Launches Standalone Client
Baidu Wenku and Baidu Netdisk's AI office product Kuku AI announced that its monthly active users have surpassed 25 million, alongside the launch of a new standalone office client. The move signals that Kuku AI is evolving from an embedded AI feature into an independent app carrying a complete AI office workflow.
Baidu Wenku and Baidu Netdisk's AI office product "Kuku AI" announced fresh numbers: its AI office monthly active users have passed 25 million, alongside the launch of a new standalone office client.
According to QbitAI's report, Kuku AI is one of Baidu's core products in the AI office space, covering high-frequency scenarios such as documents and cloud storage, and the new MAU figure marks another milestone in user scale.
The standalone client signals that Kuku AI is no longer just an AI feature embedded inside Wenku and Netdisk, but an independent app carrying a complete AI office workflow, lowering the barrier for users to reach it.
At 25 million MAU, Kuku AI sits in the top tier of the AI office market, suggesting Baidu's traffic advantage in document scenarios is converting into real usage of its AI products.
Yet the standalone app also puts Kuku AI in direct competition with rivals such as WPS AI and Feishu's intelligent assistant on acquisition and retention; product differentiation and paid conversion will be the key battleground in the next phase.
What to watch next: first-week downloads and retention for the standalone client, whether Kuku AI extends into paid subscriptions, and how deeply it integrates with Baidu's ERNIE foundation models.
Why it matters
Kuku AI's standalone client and 25M MAU mark Baidu's AI office push entering a scale-up phase, intensifying competition with WPS AI and Feishu.
