Baidu launched DuMate in March 2026 and describes it as a general-purpose agent for everyday productivity. Baidu says it can autonomously execute complex, multi-step workflows across applications and files from end to end.
Current product documentation describes DuMate as a desktop AI office agent that can operate files, read and write Excel, organize data, generate presentations and control a browser. It is therefore better understood as a desktop execution agent than as a conventional chatbot.
