What can you do with Dola?

Dola is ByteDance's general AI assistant for markets outside mainland China. It was called Cici until late 2025, and the old app and accounts carried over. You chat with it to get answers, draft and rewrite text, translate, summarize articles and documents, help with code and make images. It runs on the web, iOS, Android and Windows.

Dola pricing

Free to use; the app offers optional paid upgrades. Availability varies by country, and reports say it is not offered in some markets such as the United States.

Who is Dola for?

People who want a free, all-round chatbot in their own language, especially in Southeast Asia and Latin America where it grew fastest. It suits everyday questions, writing help and quick translations more than deep research or long coding sessions.

How Dola compares

Dola is the overseas sibling of Doubao, ByteDance's China-only assistant; the two are separate apps. Next to ChatGPT or Gemini it is a lighter everyday assistant with a generous free tier, while the others offer more advanced reasoning, research and plugin features on paid plans.
