At the November 12, 2026 Baidu World conference, founder Robin Li said the company’s average number of daily active AI agents had risen from 5,000 to 37,000 over the past year—more than a sixfold increase.
Li said the number of effective tasks completed by agents grew from an average of 84,000 per week to more than 1 million per week. He also reported that Baidu had built 4,300 Workspaces and accumulated more than 20,000 organizational Skills.
Li linked the figures to a goal he set at the previous year’s conference: building an AI-native organization by incorporating AI capabilities internally. He said documenting effective practices would allow more employees to reuse them and agents to call on them.
