Recently, Zhihu officially released the "Annual AI Product List", providing a comprehensive review of the development coordinates of the AI industry in 2025. Under the joint selection of global developers and users, star products such as Douba, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Nano-banana from both domestic and overseas have been selected.
In the most popular "Zhihu Annual Favorite" list, Douba, under ByteDance, defeated all competitors to top the list, followed closely by DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen. In terms of overseas products, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude ranked in the top three. In addition, vertical scenario products such as Cursor, Jiemeng (Dreamina), and Keling performed outstandingly. Zhihu's self-developed "Zhihu Direct Answer" also successfully entered the top five, showing strong demand for search-enhanced and professional scenario AI.
