The Hongguo Short Drama APP has introduced Xiaoguo AI, an innovative AI-powered drama discovery assistant. This assistant is built on the sophisticated Doubao large model and is tailored specifically for the short drama domain. It stands out as the first of its kind to seamlessly integrate conversational AI into the user experience of drama discovery. The primary access point for Xiaoguo AI is conveniently located within the APP’s search bar. Users can also activate it by simply mentioning it in the comment section. The interaction interface is designed with user-friendliness in mind, offering quick questions to reduce the barrier for users to engage and ask.

When users initiate a search, they are presented with a list of suggested searches, trending short drama rankings, and short drama cards complete with play buttons. Xiaoguo AI is capable of delivering comprehensive, multi-dimensional drama information based on individual user preferences. Furthermore, it will keep track of users' follow-up requests and proactively send notifications when new seasons of their favorite dramas become available for reservation.

As of July 2026, the Hongguo Short Drama independent APP boasted an impressive 168 million daily active users. This marks a significant 107% year-on-year increase, surpassing the combined daily active user count of the four leading long-form video platforms.
