Bigo Technology has developed proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning that is integrated into the application. The AI features are used to enhance user engagement and experience during live streaming.[8]

Viewers can support their favorite broadcasters with in-app gifts,[9] and some popular broadcasters use the app as a full-time employment.[citation needed] Bigo owns Likee, the short video creation and sharing app.[10][11]
