On October 9, according to a report by Dujia, ByteDance's AI assistant Doubao officially added a new “utility bill payment” feature. Users only need to issue commands such as “pay water bill” by voice or typing within the Doubao App, and the system will instantly pop up an on-site service card and redirect them to a dedicated page, where they can directly complete payment of basic living expenses such as water, electricity and gas.

According to people close to Doubao, Doubao is currently gradually building multi-dimensional life-scenario service capabilities covering travel services and utility bill payment. This move marks that the focus of competition among large model products is accelerating its shift from single text generation and general information retrieval toward operational implementation and service closed loops in high-frequency real-world scenarios.

By deeply connecting natural language interaction with basic public services, Doubao has not only broadened the practical boundaries of generative AI, but also provided a key opportunity for the commercialization and service-oriented extension of large models in the consumer-side ecosystem.
