RECATOOLS Verdict

Nano AI is Qihoo 360's former 360 AI Search, now a Chinese-language search-and-agent app that answers questions from the web and can build reports, slide decks, images and short videos, with about sixteen domestic models to compare in one place. Basic use is free; a VIP membership, from ¥49 a month on the China App Store, adds generation credits, 1080p video and unlimited file analysis.

For ASEAN readers the barrier is language rather than access: the app is listed in the Singapore and US App Stores, but the interface is Simplified Chinese only, the operator is a Tianjin-registered 360 company under Chinese law, and there is no public API. It suits Chinese-literate users; others have easier choices.

Desk research by RECATOOLS from public sources, written with AI assistance — not a hands-on test. How we review

What we found

The product behind n.cn is no longer marketed as 360 AI Search. Qihoo 360 shipped a 360AI搜索 app in January 2024, launched a successor as 纳米AI搜索 (Nano AI Search) in November 2024, and in August 2025 rebranded it again as 纳米AI (Nano AI), pitched as a "multi-agent swarm". Today n.cn carries the title 纳米AI, the old so.360.com address redirects there, and the iOS listing describes a super-agent that turns one sentence into videos, reports and slide decks. Web search with AI-written answers is still the base function named in its user agreement, but it is now one feature among many.

The breadth is real. The site offers agents for research reports, slide decks, SWOT analysis, photo editing and video, and its own description claims sixteen integrated model families, DeepSeek and Qwen among them, which can be compared side by side in a group chat. Uploaded PDF, Word, audio and video files can be summarised and translated, and the mobile app takes photo and voice questions.

It is also no longer simply free. A paid VIP membership exists: the China App Store lists ¥49 for an auto-renewing month and ¥499 for an auto-renewing year, and the US store lists US$6.99 a month. The membership agreement, updated December 2025, promises monthly 纳米 credits for image and video generation, faster generation, 1080p video, four videos at once and unlimited file analysis, and credits can also be bought on their own. Earlier versions of this page described the service as free and cited audience figures we could not trace.

For ASEAN readers the obstacles are language and accountability rather than availability. The app is listed in the US and Singapore App Stores, but the interface is Simplified Chinese only, the service is run by a Tianjin-registered 360 company under Chinese law, and there is no English documentation or public API. It suits Chinese-literate users who want one place to try many domestic models.

Frequently asked questions

It was rebranded to Nano AI Search (纳米AI搜索) in late 2024, so you will meet it under both names.
Advertising, plus distribution through 360's existing browser and security products — that channel is the strategy as much as the search quality.
Barely. The interface and content are Chinese-first, international availability and data-residency clarity are thin, and there is no documented public API.
