TikTok owner ByteDance has joined the ChatGPT bandwagon along with Baidu and Alibaba Group Holding, by testing a chatbot powered by large language models, reported SCMP.

TikTok owner ByteDance is testing a new ChatGPT-like chatbot, called "Grace", according to South China Morning Post. The project is "still in its infancy and for internal testing only,” said a representative of ByteDance. The testing process has started last month and involved only a select group of employees for the time being, said one of the testers.

This will be the second time ByteDance has attempted to latch on to the trend of generative AI. In May, the company tweeted that it was “in the early stages” of exploring a chatbot named Tako, an AI-powered tool to help with search content on its short video hit app TikTok, with select users in the Philippines, SCMP added.

Since its inception in 2012, ByteDance has been a proponent of AI, which sits behind the algorithms that feed curated content to users based on their interests and activity. All of its flagship products, including news aggregator Jinri Toutiao, use this proprietary AI-powered recommendation system, SCMP noted. 

ChatGPT is not officially available in China.
