Volcano Engine Officially Launches Doubao Search Open ...

As AI Agents gradually shift from simple Q&A interactions to complex long-term task execution, traditional single-retrieval models have become insufficient to meet their demand for deep information. To address this, Volc Engine has officially launched the Douba Search service, aiming to provide enterprises and developers with comprehensive online information support across languages, modalities, and vertical categories to build intelligent agents.

In terms of information acquisition and credibility governance, Douba Search has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. The service can directly output structured data and Markdown source text, supporting precise targeted queries, wide-scope semantic rewriting, and multi-round retrieval enhancement, and can automatically adjust retrieval strategies as tasks progress. Meanwhile, to address issues such as low-quality internet content and SEO spam, the platform has established an authority grading system and vertical governance mechanism from the perspectives of website sites and creators. It integrates full-range internet information, industry-specific knowledge, and ByteDance's exclusive content resources, filtering out invalid information at the source to ensure the authenticity and reliability of results.

The service is currently widely applied in diverse scenarios such as knowledge Q&A, office collaboration, financial research, business analysis, and content production, meeting the core needs of domestic mainstream mobile phone smart assistants and various productivity agents. In terms of access methods, enterprises and developers can either independently integrate through API, Skill, or MCP formats, or configure it with one click within the Volc Engine Agent Plan. Additionally, the platform provides 500 free searches per month, with optional pay-as-you-go or discounted monthly package plans for usage beyond that, helping developers efficiently build high-quality AI applications.
