当前，全球搜索引擎市场正经历从"关键词匹配"到"智能理解"的范式转变。在这一背景下，百度推出TizzyAI的战略意图十分明显：通过差异化竞争，在保 持技术领先的同时，解决传统搜索引擎饱受诟病的广告过多问题，从而提升用户体验并增强市场竞争力。 那么，TizzyAI的发布将如何影响百度业绩？又能否在强敌环伺的智能搜索市场脱颖而出？ TizzyAI能否成为百度新的增长引擎？ 新产品实际体验后不难发现，该产品的界面设计确实贯彻了"减法" 理念 —— 不仅没有弹窗干扰和信息流推送，就连底部导航栏也仅保留了 "搜索" 与 "资 源库" 两个核心入口。 进入"TizzyAI" 后，首先映入眼帘的是醒目的产品 Logo 及 Slogan，下方则是搜索框，旁边配有从右至左滚动的搜索推荐词。 继抖音推出智能搜索App"AI抖音"后，百度悄然上线AI搜索应用"TizzyAI"，首次打出了"无广告"的旗帜，将沿袭二十余年的搜索商业模式拦腰斩断。这样 一来，两大巨头在AI搜索赛道狭路相逢。 当前智能搜索市场已形成"一超多强"的竞争格局。和字节旗下的"AI抖音"相比，"TizzyAI"的搜索深度更优（尤其复杂问题拆解），但内容趣味性不足 ...
