Xiaoice, an AI chatbot developed by a group of AI researchers from Microsoft Asia, is being spun off to be its own company. The AI chatbot was created in 2014 based on an emotional computing framework by Microsoft (Asia) Software Technology Center (STCA).

"AI Being" is a term created by the XiaoIce team in 2019 to refer to digital employees designed using AI technology to understand, interpret, and perform human communication and related tasks. So far, XiaoIce's "AI Being" technology has been applied in various scenarios, including the renowned virtual singer "Luo Tianyi" and Sequoia Capital China's first virtual analyst "Hóng".
