Miaoda: Baidu's No-Code Development Platform 143

Miaoda is a zero-code AI development platform launched by Baidu, allowing users to generate applications without writing any code. The platform supports multi-agent collaboration and multi-tool invocation, making it suitable for non-programmers. Users can interact with the platform through natural language to easily bring their creative ideas to life. Miaoda's main features include zero-code programming, multi-agent collaboration, and scalable tool invocation. Robin Li (Li Yanhong) called it "the most complex multi-agent collaboration tool in human history to date."

Miaoda Feature Highlights:

• No-Code Programming: Miaoda leverages large model technology to directly generate code, enabling users to transform their ideas into real applications without writing a single line of code manually.

• Multi-Agent Collaboration: Miaoda supports collaboration between agents. Based on the advanced planning capabilities of the Ernie large model, it can dispatch and coordinate different agents to complete specific tasks. For example, when building an application, different agents can be responsible for planning, content creation, programming, and quality inspection, functioning like a highly efficient work team.

• Multi-Tool Invocation: Miaoda integrates a range of tools and APIs, including web search, iRAG (a technology that may refer to augmented reality or content generation), map APIs, and more. Users can conveniently invoke various tools and APIs to achieve feature extension and integration.

• Wide Range of Application Scenarios: As can be seen from Robin Li's speech, Miaoda is not only applicable to enterprise-level services to improve interactive marketing efficiency, as demonstrated by the cases of BYD and Lenovo, but also covers numerous fields ranging from film and television creation to legal consulting. For example, the "Free Canvas" tool-like agent created through the collaboration between Baidu Wenku and Baidu Netdisk, as well as the legal agent "Faxingbao," demonstrate Miaoda's potential in tool innovation and professional service automation.

Miaoda Scenario Applications:

Enterprise Automation: Enterprises can leverage "Miaoda" to automate daily business processes, such as customer management, inventory tracking, and financial reporting.

Education and Learning: Teachers and students can use "Miaoda" to create educational software and interactive courseware, such as simulation experiments and teaching games.

Personal Projects: Individual developers and enthusiasts can use "Miaoda" to realize personal projects, such as personal blogs, household budget management, and health tracking.

Small Businesses: Small businesses can leverage "Miaoda" to develop Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, order processing systems, and more, avoiding the high cost of hiring professional programmers.

Multi-Agent Collaboration: In complex tasks, "Miaoda" supports multiple agents working together to handle more complex tasks and processes, allowing users to dispatch different agents to complete specific tasks with simple instructions.

Baidu founder Robin Li (Li Yanhong) officially launched "Miaoda" at the 2024 Baidu World Conference. Robin Li called "Miaoda" "the most complex multi-agent collaboration tool in human history to date." Robin Li emphasized that "Miaoda" is fundamentally different from existing code-generation assistance tools on the market, because it does not require users to understand code. This means that anyone with an idea can realize their creativity through "Miaoda" without the need to recruit project managers, designers, or developers.

The launch event also introduced 100 industry applications based on large models, covering multiple industries. Robin Li stated that Baidu's goal is to help more individuals and enterprises build millions of "super useful" applications. "Miaoda" aims to lower the barrier for ordinary users to develop intelligent agents, primarily targeting non-programmer groups.

"Miaoda" is expected to officially launch in early January 2025.
