Metaso

Metaso (秘塔) is a Chinese artificial intelligence company best known for its AI search product, Metaso AI Search (秘塔AI搜索). Launched by Shanghai Mita Technology Co., Ltd., the platform combines large language models with web search to deliver direct, summarized answers rather than a traditional list of links. Its homepage emphasizes an ad-free experience and "direct to results" positioning, a notable differentiator in the Chinese search market where advertising-heavy result pages are common. The product has expanded beyond basic search into a suite of AI productivity tools. According to its official site, Metaso offers features such as "学点啥" (a learning-oriented feature), video generation, slide generation, file upload for document analysis, and an API for developers. It also supports custom skills, allowing users to create tailored AI workflows. The service is accessible via web and mobile, with QR-code login for mobile users. Metaso competes in China's rapidly evolving generative AI application market, alongside other AI search and assistant products from major technology companies and startups. Its focus on a clean, ad-free interface and direct answers has helped it attract a user base seeking efficient information retrieval. The company operates primarily in the Chinese market and is privately held.

Metaso was founded in 2018 in Shanghai, China, as an artificial intelligence company. It initially gained attention for its AI-powered legal translation and document processing tools before pivoting to consumer AI search. The launch of Metaso AI Search marked a significant shift, positioning the company in the emerging generative AI search market. The product's core proposition is an ad-free search experience that provides direct answers synthesized by AI, contrasting with traditional search engines that display lists of links and advertisements. This approach resonated with users frustrated by cluttered search results. Over time, Metaso expanded its feature set to include a range of AI-powered productivity tools. Its official website now lists capabilities such as "学点啥" (a learning feature), video generation, slide creation, file upload for analysis, and an API for developers. The platform also supports custom skills, enabling users to build personalized AI assistants. Metaso operates primarily in the Chinese market and remains a privately held company. It continues to develop its AI search and productivity suite, competing with both established tech giants and other AI startups in China.
