Business Adjustment: Tizi AI Announces Cease of Operations

On March 4, 2026, Baidu's AI-powered search app "Tizi AI" officially announced the cessation of its independent operations. The official website and app of Tizi AI have been taken offline, and the product is no longer available for search, download, or updates on major app stores.

As a pioneering attempt by Baidu in the AI search field, Tizi AI lasted only about half a year from its official rebranding and launch to being integrated into the parent company. Baidu stated that this adjustment aims to consolidate resources, and the original core services will be fully migrated to the "Wenxin App" (formerly Wenxin Yiyan App), ensuring users can enjoy services within a more unified intelligent ecosystem.

Core Strengths: Deep Thinking and "Film Magic"

Since its launch, Tizi AI has gained a good reputation in the industry due to its minimalistic interface and powerful features. It integrates multi-model capabilities, especially a "full-charge" version of advanced models like DeepSeek, which makes it perform well in "deep thinking" mode.

Aside from regular AI search, Tizi AI’s most appealing feature lies in its unique function integration:

  • Ad-Free Smart Search: Provides a clean search environment without any promotional content.

  • Resource Retrieval Capability: Supports comprehensive web analysis and resource mining.

  • Optimal Viewing Experience: Built-in rich short dramas and film resources, focusing on "no ads, no membership, smooth playback," even supporting an innovative experience of "search while watching."

Migration Guide: Wenxin App Takes Over the Search Mission

With the shutdown of Tizi AI, Baidu is guiding its existing users to transfer to the Wenxin App. The Wenxin App now takes over the search engine and intelligent Q&A functions of Tizi AI. Baidu promises that the highly praised "minimalist search" and "diverse resource retrieval" services from Tizi AI will continue in the Wenxin App.

Industry analysts believe that Baidu's move aims to streamline operations, concentrating fragmented AI capabilities into the "Wenxin" super entrance to cope with increasingly fierce competition in the AI search market. For users who have grown accustomed to Tizi AI's clean experience, whether the Wenxin App can perfectly replicate its "film resources" and "ad-free" essence will be the focus of attention moving forward.
