Cheetah Mobile upgrades its utility apps with AI

Cheetah Mobile has announced the roll-out of Artificial Intelligence technology across most of its utility applications. The new update will add AI support for applications such as CM Launcher, Clean Master, Security Master, CM Locker, and Cheetah Keyboard.

Cheetah Keyboard uses AI-powered advanced predictive text, to suggest replies and save time for users. Cheetah Keyboard currently analyses data and ‘learns’ on the basis of about 2 billion words and phrases. The keyboard also provides highly localized language optimization options such as ‘Hinglish’ option.

According to the company, facial recognition technology is already being used in Cheetah Mobile's Live.me social live broadcasting app, which produces more than 300,000 hours of user-generated live content each day.

The technology has other uses as well, including the ability to recognize brand logos, support advertisement testing, generate user tags based on a variety of characteristics, and provide personalized content recommendations, thereby supporting all types of dynamic facial mapping.
