Doubao learning map

Doubao is ByteDance's consumer AI assistant. Official listing description (doubao.com):

Doubao is your AI chat assistant for writing, copy, translation, and coding help.

This directory is the Claude.ai / Yuanbao counterpart. It is not Trae and not the Doubao model API on Volcengine Ark.

Audience / non-goals

Audience: frontend engineers who want a China-region web or desktop assistant for writing, translation, PPT / sheets, and light coding questions.

Non-goals:

• Trae IDE install (#80)
• Coze agent building (#81)
• Volcengine Ark API / CLI (#82)
• Douyin / Feishu / Toutiao how-tos
• Invented subscription prices or a default model slug
• Model internals (see Learn LLM)

Easy collisions:

• Doubao ≠ Trae. Doubao is a chat assistant. Trae is a coding IDE.
• Doubao app ≠ Doubao model API. The API lives on Volcengine Ark.
• Doubao ≠ Coze. Coze is the agent-building platform.
• Doubao ≠ Doubao phone assistant. o.doubao.com is a hardware / system-assistant line.
• Homepage Seedance 2.0 ≠ desktop Seedance 2.5. Quote both official strings. Do not pick a winner.
