At the Baidu AI Open Day 2026 new product launch event held this afternoon, Li Ying, Vice President of Baidu Group and CEO of Baidu Smart Unit, announced that the Super-powered Xiaodu has accompanied over 55 million households, with daily average depth of language interaction growing by nearly 300%.
Li Ying highlighted that the standout feature, AI-based caregiving, which can be configured with just a single sentence, has demonstrated exceptional performance. The penetration rate of AI-enabled camera functions has reached 67%, with a feature retention rate as high as 94%.
The combination of high proactive adoption and exceptionally strong retention indicates that users are not merely experimenting with the feature, but rather integrating AI-driven caregiving into their daily household routines. This also underscores a genuine market demand for intelligent monitoring within home environments, signaling that home AI is evolving from entertainment-focused interaction toward practical, service-oriented applications.
