AsianFin -- Baidu’s Ernie AI Agent platform has announced a strategic partnership with Xiaomi’s App Store to launch an “AI Agent Zone,” marking the industry’s first cross-platform distribution model between intelligent agents and a mobile app marketplace.

Starting today, Xiaomi users will gradually gain access to AI agent distribution features via a dedicated section on the app store’s homepage. The collaboration enables seamless integration between Baidu’s AI agents and the Xiaomi ecosystem.

Developers on the Ernie Bot platform can deploy their AI agents to the Xiaomi App Store with a single click, without incurring any additional costs. Users can directly access and interact with Baidu’s AI agents via the search bar or dedicated AI agent section within the Xiaomi App Store, offering a new channel for smart services.
