Coc Coc, a prominent browser and search engine provider in Vietnam, has entered the AI race with two new offerings: Coc Coc AI Chat and Coc Coc AI Search. Both products are free to use and represent the foundation of Coc Coc AI Lab, the company’s new AI ecosystem.
Coc Coc AI Chat is a chatbot developed using the GPT-3.5 model and customized with data from Coc Coc Search. It emphasizes Vietnamese language support, even providing responses in Vietnamese for English-language queries. The company highlights the chatbot’s ability to interpret Vietnamese cultural nuances and linguistic subtleties, distinguishing it from competitors.
Coc Coc AI Search aims to streamline information gathering. It delivers summarized results directly within the search interface, reducing the need for users to visit multiple websites. Responses are generated in approximately two seconds, offering a faster and more secure search experience.
The company is actively seeking user feedback during the testing phase to refine these new tools.
Founded in 2013, Coc Coc claims a user base of over 29 million and processes more than 600 million monthly queries. Despite facing stiff competition from Google, Coc Coc has remained a notable player in Vietnam’s digital landscape.
While its market share is reported to be around 5% for browsers and 3% for search engines, CEO Nguyen Vu Anh argues that these figures underestimate the company’s influence and reach within Vietnam.
Coc Coc’s latest AI advancements could signal a strategic move to bolster its market presence and challenge industry giants.
