On May 19, the AI smart body earphones Ola Friend under DouBao of ByteDance迎来 an important upgrade. After this upgrade, users can directly activate the independent English learning smart body Owen for real-time dialogue via voice when using this headset, bringing a brand new experience to English learning.

Before this upgrade, Ola Friend only supported activating the proactive smart body "DouBao" via voice. The newly integrated Owen smart body is specifically designed as an independent English tutor for English oral communication and learning scenarios. Its question-and-answer logic and interaction mode are carefully designed around English learning needs. It already has more than 9 million usage records on the DouBao App. After the upgrade, the Ola Friend headset allows users to practice English speaking with Owen anytime and anywhere, as if they have an "English personal tutor friend" always online.

The integration of the Owen smart body further strengthens its oral dialogue practice function in English learning scenarios, meeting the practical needs of users for improving their English speaking skills.

The innovation of the Ola Friend headset lies in introducing general large model AI interaction into the headset scenario. In actual use, users can experience highly human-like interaction experiences such as "listening and speaking at the same time, interrupting at any time" and "continuous multi-round dialogues." Besides basic functions like music playback and providing news updates, it also performs well in dialogues in scenarios such as encyclopedic questions, emotional companionship, and travel entertainment.

Public information shows that the Ola Friend is an open headset with a single ear weight of only 6.6 grams. Currently, the Ola Friend headset offers four fashionable color options: Light Feather White, Thin Wing Black, Dream Purple, and Flowing Silver. The official price is 1199 yuan.
