Two Major Domestic AI Apps, Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen, to Terminate Autonomous Agent Creation Services

Doubao, owned by ByteDance, and Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen simultaneously announced on July 4, 2026, that they will terminate the autonomous agent creation service for ordinary users on July 15. This move directly responds to China's first specialized regulation focusing on AI anthropomorphic interaction behaviors, the "Artificial Intelligence Anthropomorphism Law," marking a proactive adjustment of service scope by domestic AI applications under the compliance framework.
