Doubao Work, the AI agent product from Doubao targeting productivity scenarios, has upgraded its task mode functionality by adding 'Goal Mode' and 'Plan Mode'. According to the report, 'Goal Mode' is designed for complex tasks with clear acceptance criteria, where the AI checks deliverables item by item before submission to ensure they meet goals and avoid deviations. 'Plan Mode' suits long-range, resource-intensive, or vague tasks; after inputting prompts, the AI first generates a reviewable and editable plan document for user approval before execution, making the process more controllable and resource-efficient. Additional updates include a task queue, Markdown file editing, and a dark mode. These features are now available on the Doubao Work desktop version. The article notes that Doubao Work was officially launched on August 25 and has since undergone rapid iterations, including multi-agent parallelism, GUI computer control, and local Office file editing. A recent minor upgrade to the Doubao 2.1 Pro model also enhanced multimodal programming and agent task delivery reliability.

Doubao Work has recently upgraded its task mode functionality, introducing two new modes — "Goal" and "Plan" — to meet users' more granular productivity needs.
- Goal Mode: Designed for complex tasks with clear acceptance criteria. The AI checks each deliverable item by item until the acceptance goals are met, effectively preventing issues such as substandard outputs or deviations from the intended execution path.
- Plan Mode: Suitable for long-term, resource-intensive, or vaguely defined tasks. After receiving a prompt, the AI first generates a reviewable and editable plan document for user inspection and revision. Only after the user confirms the plan does the AI begin execution, making the process more controllable and the consumption of computing resources more reasonable.
In addition to the "Goal" and "Plan" modes, Doubao Work has also introduced several feature updates and interaction optimizations, including a new task queue, support for Markdown file editing, and a dark mode.
The "Goal" and "Plan" task modes, along with the aforementioned features, are now available on the Doubao Work desktop version, allowing users to experience them directly.
Doubao Work is a new Agent product and brand launched by Doubao for productivity scenarios, officially released on August 25.
