ByteDance Folds Trae and Coze Coding Tools Into Doubao, Preps Doubao Work App to Take On Tencent WorkBuddy

ByteDance is folding its Trae coding platform and Coze agent-building tool into Doubao, and plans to launch Doubao Work to compete with Tencent's WorkBuddy productivity agent, per Bloomberg sources. The consolidation follows the July 30 restructuring that merged Feishu's product team into Doubao. WorkBuddy has quietly become China's most popular AI productivity agent, with ~21M monthly PC visits in June.
