Recently, Quark launched its "Academic Search" AI product, leveraging AI technology and a vast collection of academic literature, which will significantly enhance the efficiency of information retrieval, creation, and processing in academic work. According to the latest data from PConline, Quark ranks first in AI application downloads on PC in China for 2024, becoming the preferred AI product for young people on PC.
Compared to regular searches, academic searches demand higher standards for the authority, professionalism, and timeliness of information. They frequently utilize functions such as summarization and writing, creating a vast application space for generative AI in the academic field. Quark continuously iterates its AI products and technologies, targeting opportunities to enhance efficiency in academic work.
By aggregating authoritative literature resources, Quark has partnered with top domestic academic platforms such as Weipu and CNKI to build a comprehensive database of over 100 million professional academic literature records and full-text materials. Additionally, with the capabilities of large models, Quark's academic search can cite more than 10 pieces of literature for each AI response, achieving multidimensional information synthesis and knowledge organization, ensuring the accuracy of search results.
Beyond content retrieval, another important application of AI technology is in creation and writing. Quark can provide AI-generated academic outlines based on users' academic questions, combined with factors such as research background, market conditions, and development trends, and can create PPT presentations with one click, further improving academic work efficiency.
With high-frequency needs for office and study services, AI-powered academic search and AI question-answering features have rapidly emerged and iterated at Quark. Since its launch in August this year, Quark's PC "system-level all-scenario AI" has integrated AI search, AI writing, AI summarization, and more into various learning and working scenarios. According to the latest data from PConline, Quark's PC user base has seen accelerated growth in the past two months. By November, Quark ranked first in AI application downloads on PC in China for 2024.
Young people are undoubtedly the core user group of AI products, experimenting with new products and applying them in everyday scenarios. Data shows that in Quark's PC user base, individuals under 25 account for over 50%. Among these, AI search, AI writing, and AI question-answering are the most frequently used products. Quark's PC offers innovative interactions such as shortcuts, text selection, screenshots, and plugins, making AI capabilities for searching, creating, and summarizing easily accessible, while seamlessly connecting with cloud storage and scanning for integrated, one-stop AI services.
Market research firm Counterpoint Research believes that in terms of edge AI performance, PCs still have significantly greater potential than other mobile smart devices. Industry insiders analyze that the flexible ecosystem of computers is more conducive to AI innovation by developers, making them a core entry point for AI applications. Quark's PC encompasses all scenarios where users can experience the conveniences and efficiency improvements brought by AI.
"Providing new content, solving new problems, and greatly enhancing efficiency, AI applications can only offer new value when they deliver new experiences in high-demand scenarios," said a Quark representative. "From the perspective of domestic users' habits and market prospects for PC usage, the evolution of AI products has just begun. Focusing on users, AI, and the future, Quark will continue to be dedicated and pragmatic in providing better and more comprehensive information services for young people, moving towards becoming a versatile AI assistant for users."
