Doubao has officially denied circulating reports of mass layoffs within its General Session team, clarifying that the changes represent an organizational restructuring rather than workforce reduction. Public relations head Liu Xing stated that claims of the dialogue team being "cut in half" or the product being marginalized are factually incorrect. The adjustment involved redistributing specific functions from the General Session team to the Doubao Transaction and Doubao Work teams to optimize user experience. Of the team's fewer than 50 members, 11 were reassigned to new roles while three employees departed. Most personnel continue to work on dialogue-related tasks within their new divisions.
