During the OPPO Developer Conference held in October of the same year, OPPO ColorOS released a total of seven open system capability engines to build a more open system for developers and ecological partners through open source code and create user experience together. In March 2021, The monthly active users of OPPO’s AI assistant “Xiaobo” exceeded 100 million, becoming the first mobile phone voice assistant with 100 million active users in China. Together with AI research teams such as Tsinghua University and Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute, Xiaobu assistant team released the current largest Chinese dialogue data set in June this year, providing solid basic data support for technical research in the field of dialogue interaction.
On the road to becoming an eco-company, OPPO is striving to explore and create an open and integrated ecosystem that can benefit everyone and bring a new intelligent experience.
