A number of Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) companies are seeing greater demand for their social media applications in overseas markets, as adoption on the mainland has been slower by comparison. Shanghai-based MiniMax a generative AI start-up that counts South China Morning Post owner Alibaba Group Holding as a major investor has become a prime example of such overseas success on the back of its Talkie app, which saw its traffic more than double to 1.32 million views in May, according to AIcpb.com, a site that tracks the popularity of AI products worldwide. The Talkie AI app, which competes in a market segment led by Character.ai, enables users to customise avatars and interact with virtual chat buddies. Although Character.ai reached 318 million views last month, Talkies more than 150 per cent monthly growth rate was faster than its rivals 21.6 per cent monthly growth rate, according to AIcpb.com.

Meanwhile, the Talkie apps Chinese version, Xingye, amassed just 422,000 views in May, AIcpb.com data showed.

The ranking of Chinese version Xingye, according to Data.ai, shifted between 29th and 8th place on the mainland App Stores social networking category during the same period.
