Just this article is enough.

It's 2025, and my public account's two-year anniversary is approaching.
Over the past two years, thanks to the support of fans and brands, I have tested countless public and private AI products. A few days ago, I calculated that the total amount of confidentiality agreements I have signed is almost 20 million…
But if you ask me what the most frequently asked question over the past two years has been.
It must be “Kazik, is there an AI tool that can XXX? What kind of XXX AI is this?”
In 2023, I wrote a compilation recommendation, but now, it's already 2025.
To meet everyone's needs, today I bring you the best AI products (2025 edition).
This time, I will recommend the best products in each of the nine categories.
Really, no need to look at those recommendations anymore, just look at this article, and it's enough.
The nine categories are:
AI Chat, AI Search, AI Programming, AI Drawing, AI Sound, AI Music, AI Video, AI 3D.
Without further ado, let's get started.
1. AI Chat
> 1. DeepSeek
Website: https://chat.deepseek.com/
In the AI Chat category, the first one is definitely DeepSeek, the hottest AI phenomenon product of 2025, trending every day.
From 80-year-olds to 10-year-olds, everyone knows it, truly breaking out into the mainstream. Its capabilities are well-known; not only is it open-source, but the official product also has the strongest reasoning ability and can connect to the internet. But the biggest drawback is…
Recently, I have written about DeepSeek in ten consecutive articles, covering everything from comprehensive overviews, prompt techniques, to alternatives that don't crash, etc.
A national-level innovation, truly deserving of the title.
DeepSeek's prompt technique is simply no technique.
> 2. Doubao
Website: https://www.doubao.com/chat/
DeepSeek is strong, but it is only strong in reasoning models and lacks multimodal and voice call capabilities, which is exactly Doubao's strongest point.
Especially the super-personalized real-time voice model launched before the New Year, which outperforms 40 in Chinese ability and personification, and can even sing. The visual understanding model is also something I find very strong, along with drawing, programming, intelligent agents, etc.
Currently the most comprehensive AI Chat product.
Doubao fully launched the super-personalized "real-time voice," this is the king of Chinese voice.
> 3. Tencent Yuanbao
Website: https://yuanbao.tencent.com/
If they hadn't just integrated DeepSeek R1 yesterday, I might not have recommended it in this article.
Although it staged a scene of McDonald's selling KFC, DeepSeek R1+ can connect to the internet to search for public account content with unique Chinese quality, making it a product that I now believe can not only replace DeepSeek but even surpass it to a considerable extent due to the quality of public account text during internet searches.
It’s getting intense, Tencent Yuanbao has integrated DeepSeek.
> 4. Zhipu Qingyan
Website: https://chatglm.cn/
The oldest evergreen tree among domestic large models, recently added to the U.S. entity list.
Zhipu also has a reasoning model, known as Zero, and is strong in programming and mathematics. The launch of AutoGLM (mobile version) and GLM-PC (computer version) made me feel like I was in a sci-fi movie, and I currently consider it the strongest agent on the internet.
Zhipu AI launched a new Agent GLM-PC late at night, still at the peak.
> 5. ChatGPT (Overseas Product)
Website: https://chatgpt.com/
As the leader of the entire AI revolution, ChatGPT remains the first choice for many people. It currently supports reasoning models, search, multimodal, file transfer, coding, running programs, drawing images, video calls…
It may not have the best features in every aspect, but the overall experience is still the most versatile and balanced.
But it's expensive, costing 20 dollars a month… while these domestic products are almost all free, aren't they more appealing?
2. AI Search
> 1. Mita AI Search
Website: https://metaso.cn
Unlike AI Chat, this is the most original AI search experience.
As an AI search tool, it can limit the scope and channels, allowing for specific searches (including the entire internet, document libraries, academic resources, podcasts, etc.).
It can even upload your own files to build your own knowledge base.
This is also a beneficiary of DeepSeek, taking off directly after integrating R1.
A method to use the internet without lag + full-powered DeepSeek.
> 2. Nano AI Search
Website: https://www.n.cn/
The initiator of this wave of integration with DeepSeek, with a low user threshold.
The product features are incredibly comprehensive, supporting various search methods such as text, voice, and photo, capable of analyzing various content (PDF, video, audio), and automatically generating summaries and mind maps.
Really, as an AI search tool, it has everything.
> 3. Perplexity (Overseas Product)
Website: https://www.perplexity.ai
The oldest AI search product, also the pioneer of this form of AI search. Since it is overseas, it can be used for searching some English information, but for Chinese information, Yuanbao or Mita is still better.
3. AI Programming
> 1. Trae
Website: https://www.trae.ai/
My current favorite AI programming product, produced by Byte, with a fully Chinese interface, the first choice for complete beginners, temporarily free, allowing free access to Claude 3.5. However, the issue is that it currently only supports Mac.
> 2. Cursor (Overseas Product)
Website: https://www.cursor.com/
Currently the hottest AI programming product, for professional developers, Cursor is the ultimate efficiency booster.
It has two modes: Normal (focusing on code writing) and Agent (integrating code writing, debugging, and error correction).
In Agent mode, it can automatically extract relevant contextual information from the codebase, quickly locate, and intelligently complete the code, maximizing efficiency and taking off directly.
4. AI Drawing
> 1. Jimeng
Website: https://jimeng.jianying.com/
Currently one of the few that can directly generate large segments of Chinese text in AI images, and the intelligent canvas is also the most user-friendly AI photo editing tool for beginners.
The features are powerful, and the operation is simple, allowing you to generate images in various styles, such as changing backgrounds, removing impurities, expanding images, modifying parts, etc., which is very effective.
> 2. Kling
Website: https://klingai.kuaishou.com/
Kling's AI image model, Kling.
Currently, I think it has the strongest Asian portrait quality, with exceptionally high quality. The AI clothing change and modeling features are also its biggest highlights, making it a must-have for e-commerce, perfectly optimizing the e-commerce promotional workflow.
Kling AI quietly launched AI models late at night; they are going to revolutionize e-commerce.
> 3. Midjourney (Overseas Product)
Website: https://www.midjourney.com
Still the king of AI drawing, with the strongest aesthetics and the most comprehensive features, bar none. Waiting for Midjourney 7.0, which is said to be released at the end of January, but there has been no news until now.
> 4. Liblib
Website: https://www.liblib.art/
The most comprehensive SD ecosystem website, gathering the largest number of SD creators and model trainers in the country, allowing ordinary players to quickly use SD to generate images without deployment, while also providing online LoRA training and online ComfyUI, further lowering the threshold.
5. AI Sound
> 1. Hailuo AI
Website: https://www.hailuo.ai/audio
Currently the strongest Chinese voice AI, the overseas version can clone voices, with full emotional tension, and can even recite poetry. If you need Chinese voice cloning, just use Hailuo.
> 2. 11labs (Overseas Product)
Website: https://elevenlabs.io
Apart from Chinese, it is globally recognized as the strongest AI voice product, but it really falls short in the Chinese aspect…
Many products' AI sound effects are also sourced from 11Labs.
6. AI Music
> 1. Suno (Overseas Product)
Website: https://suno.ai
It was popular last March; Suno v3 was extremely impressive, but unfortunately, v4 has a relatively average reputation. However, it is still the best AI music generation product available now. It can generate music in various styles, supporting up to 4 minutes, and can use your own voice.
> 2. Haimian Music
Website: https://www.haimian.com/
Produced by Byte, it should be based on the same model as Doubao's music generation, and the music styles produced are quite in line with what the general public in China currently loves to listen to, with good melodies and a low threshold, also providing good support for Chinese.
7. AI Video
> 1. Kling
Website: https://klingai.kuaishou.com/
A shining star of domestic products, launched on June 6, 2024, it outperforms everything. When Sora truly launched, it seemed like a joke compared to Kling.
Kling 1.6 is currently the strongest and highest quality bucket-level AI video generation model.
Kuaishou Kling 1.6 officially launched; they have once again surpassed themselves.
> 2. Hailuo AI
Website: https://hailuoai.com/video
Emotional performance is still synonymous with Hailuo AI video, the first choice for character AI videos. Its performance in character expressions, action continuity, and detail handling is perfect, and it can even surpass Kling in this specific area.
The entire overseas market is about to be unified by Hailuo AI.
> 3. Vidu
Website: https://www.vidu.cn/
Currently, it is almost the cheapest and most generous AI video. The 2D and 3D anime styles are outstanding, making it a specialist in this area, with smooth transitions and camera movements. If you want to create AI videos in an animation style, Vidu is the right choice.
Vidu 2.0 just launched, aiming to make AI video accessible to everyone.
> 4. PixVerse
Website: https://pixverse.ai
A product that transcends the three realms of AI video, focusing on special effect templates, it has ignited the AI special effect templates of Venom and Big Muscles on TikTok, topping the App Store download charts in the Middle East, developing quietly. If you want to experience the charm of AI special effects, come play with PixVerse.
In the unnoticed blue ocean, PixVerse is stepping onto the divine staircase.
8. AI 3D
> 1. TripoAI
Website: https://www.tripo3d.ai/
Currently, I believe the highest quality AI 3D model generation is achieved by Tusheng 3D, which can produce almost perfect replicas. The recently updated v2.5 has further enhanced the details of textures and materials to an unparalleled level.
In my opinion, it is the strongest AI 3D model available today, bar none.
I used AI 3D and finally achieved my freedom in figurine creation.
> 2. Hunyuan 3D
https://3d.hunyuan.tencent.com/
The 3D model was directly open-sourced by Tencent in January, benefiting the public. In terms of product completeness, it is extremely comprehensive, featuring low polygons, rigging, sketch-to-3D, workflows, and even mini-game creation…
Most importantly, it is currently free, which is enough for everyone to enjoy.
In Conclusion
This article looks simple, but writing it to the end has really made me a bit rushed.
The workload was much larger than I expected, and glancing at the time, it was almost 6 AM.
The sun is coming up; it's time to sleep.
Before going to bed, I suddenly felt compelled to compare it with the summary I wrote in November 2023, which included a table.
In the blink of an eye, 1 year and 3 months have passed.
Almost everything has changed.
Back then, the concept of AI programming didn't even exist, AI search was not impressive, AI drawing was being completely outperformed, and AI video was dominated by Pika, while large language models were sweeping across the country.
At that time, domestic AI seemed like a joke.
But now, I want to say, adults, the times have changed.
I suddenly remembered a line from the movie Nezha I watched a few days ago.
"If there is no road ahead, I will create a path!"
"If heaven and earth do not allow, I will turn this universe around!"
Look, what a true reflection.
