Welcome to Dine Podcast, I am Du Xiao, this is our third episode. Dine is a design studio in Beijing. Since its establishment in 2014, we have provided design services to hundreds of enterprises and startups. You may have used the products we designed. Nowadays, we use a lot of AI to help us complete our design work. This program has no fixed theme, but it is currently focusing on the stories created by ordinary people in the AI era. The guest in this episode is Xue Tianlu, who is a colleague I call directly and is also the first intern I recruited. He later gave up the opportunity to further his studies at Indiana University and became a regular employee of Zhizhu. Tianlu later also briefly joined Dine as a designer. Later he joined the early Xiaohongshu and was responsible for the withdrawal product and later subsection jumping. For 25 years, he worked as an EIR for a period of time at Sequoia. He is currently the Whole Founder and CEO of Second Enlightenment. Their latest product, Clawly, is an OpenClaw client built for ordinary people and runs in the cloud. You only need to download an APP. You can let your lobster do things for you without the need to deploy the environment locally. Let’s start with Tianlu’s Webcode experience. So when did you start getting in touch with Webcode? I was probably in 203 or 204 when I saw the product Cursor. When I saw it at that time, the slogan was very clear. It was AI coding or something like that. But I didn’t get the full meaning of it, but I thought this product was cool. Then later on, I posted a post on Geek, which was probably about 2004. In the future, people will miss the time when people were still writing code, similar to such a pretentious description. Then when I saw this post later, I thought how could I be so prophetic? But when I saw Cursor, I didn’t try the Cursor product very much. Then I didn’t use AI coding or Webcode in depth, but there was no word Webcode yet. The next time I came into contact with it should be. I am a little specific now, but I have to look for it. It was probably at the end of 2004 or the beginning of 205, when I was still myself. I guess it should be that a certain big model has been updated. It is not the Replet that came out. Oh, I also used that one. Yes, it should be. I remembered that it was one. It also made an advertisement at the time and said that everyone can use it. I don’t know that it should be V level because each version of the CodingAgent of Replet has V V level VRV3 and the like. Then it was the first time I started using it myself. I just tried to do something at the beginning, but I used the Web version. Then I wrote two things. I wrote two or three things. At that time, I was working in Byte Routine in those two days because if I was responsible for it, As far as my position or that matter, you basically have ten hours of meetings a day, and it feels like this. But at the time, I remember that I had about a day and a half, and I didn’t have much, or some meetings, I didn’t hear much or anything. Then I just kept coding this thing. There should be no ethics committee. Then I coded several things, and then some simple things, such as notifications of Manchester United games, and then coding a website, monitoring Tesla stocks, some very simple things, and then I felt very forced when Reple Agent was first released. It is the first one that is equivalent to integrating the entire site, which means you can have a database, you can have a front-end, you can have a back-end. I remember that he was still writing Python at the time. I don’t know what code he wrote, but he didn’t need to setup anything. Yes, because I remember that after I pulled the code, I studied for a long time how to run this Python thing locally, because all I had been exposed to before were things that could be GS. I didn’t pull it down because you said this, which reminded me of the cursor from earlier at that time. I actually downloaded cursor and then, because cursor is about setting up an environment, right? Because I wrote some very simple code a long time ago, but it was very troublesome to need a setup environment, so I gave up. I suddenly remembered this thing, so replit is because of it. You can do everything in one stop on the web, so I started to rely on this thing. And today, two years later, replit has claimed to be able to put your iOS app on the shelves with one click. Yes, and then later, I should never do it again. I have never used replit again. After that, I probably paid for two months and bought it for me. I also bought it. I just said that the first thing you did was all related to personal interests. It was not related to work. I have a very clear impression. It was the first one called the results of the Slow Game. It was similar to this but it didn’t seem to be implemented. The second one was because I probably mainly bought a few stocks at that time, Tesla Meta and so on. Then I wanted to make a web page, which is to put the latest information of these four stocks on a dashboard. I can share the first thing I made. I made the app very unscrupulously, but I wanted to use it to open a link, that is, the webhook API database, and then this kind of long running task. But one of the things I did at the time was to monitor everyone’s working time in slack, because slack has an online and offline status, right? I asked the app to record the person’s online status every once in a while and then turned it into a table. You are awesome. You can now sell this product as a SaaS product. But I remember that the model at that time was sonit3.5. I am talking nonsense now, but it is very early or 3.7. How do you get pictures? How do you monitor online? Do you want screenshots? There is still this. This has an API, that is, it has an API. Yes, yes, so I used it to run a web app and open up such a small thing in our internal office. At that time, the model reminded me and warned me that you need to obtain the consent of the parties involved. I said that it was already a pretty awesome model. Then I made this thing and it ran, but it was very difficult because it was written in python. I didn’t know very much how to change some things, layout, including some deliveries. But this was my first replet. I tied a domain name to it, paid for it, and then ran it for a period of time. OK. In fact, it is still very complete. The complete concept of Sass is. What follows is that after I resigned, it was probably around May of 2025, or around that time. In fact, I can start to do some things of my own. During that time, I was actually watching various startups on X. New ideas or what our products look like. Then I started to make some ideas. It was not very utilitarian. I wanted to make this product. That is to say, I could have some time to experiment with some things at first, so I started to do more at that time. Then I started to use cursor to do some things. First of all, I am a person who likes history very much. I like history very much. I like Chinese history and foreign history. Then, what I was familiar with before was actually Chinese history. For example, I read a lot of history books when I was a child. Then there was a period of time when I felt that my history should be more refined. This history thing, this topic may not have anything to do with vibe code, but history thing, in fact, there are some big subjects. For example, Westerners like that historical topic very much, which is the Roman empire. There are some very funny ones, for example, on the So I spent some time studying the Roman Empire, and then another one was really, really, and then another one, another very representative historical topic, was the Warring States Period in Japan, and this one was something I actually didn’t know much about before. I played a lot of Three Kingdoms games when I was a kid, and then Koei, a company, usually made one with the theme of the Japanese Warring States Period, and then another Three Kingdoms version. Usually the Japanese games of the same generation would be a little more advanced than the Three Kingdoms version, with similar gameplay. But when I was a kid, I couldn’t play Japanese stuff. I didn’t understand the culture, so I spent a lot of time studying the Warring States Period in Japan, and spent a lot of time studying it. Then during the research process, I discovered a very interesting topic, which is Japan. There is something called 100 Castles, which is the entire country of Japan. There are 100 castles scattered throughout Japan, usually built from 1400 to 1660, which is before the Warring States Period, two or three hundred years of castles. Then there is an activity, which was mainly for tourists at that time. They often They like some people who go to Japan very much. They will check in the 100 famous cities. Then I discovered this matter. In fact, I knew this matter earlier, maybe three or four years ago. Then when I knew this matter, I thought this was a good thing and an opportunity to learn about history. But I had never had time or much time to control to see these things. Then last year, for example, when I gradually became more rational, I began to have more time to really visit. Make some plans to visit these famous cities and then add them. This is also another kind of collection batch, but the cost of this collection batch will be higher because you really want to go to this city, and the doorway is very deep. You have to collect a symbol for this, right? He has several methods. One method is that you go there and stamp a seal. There is a seal under the city. Then, they are all different. They are all different manufacturers. Then I went and started to do this. I probably started in the first half of last year, starting from the Spring Festival, and then started to have a purpose. I went to several cities at a time. After that, and in the process of doing this, I found that this thing is to meet my own needs. I wanted to have a good way to track. I went to those cities and saw a place on the map of this city. Even I might be able to satisfy some simple feelings of achievement, including this city. Some simple ones, where to buy Tamacheng Seal, are very specific, where to buy Tamacheng Seal, transportation, and even what time it closes, complicated details like this, and it would be best if it is the details of an app, right? Then I found that there are several apps on the app store, three or four of which are individually made as giant blues. It is possible in the iOS7 era. I don’t know, it has not been updated in 100 years. So I found that I can make such an app. I started using cursor and made this app. Have you visited all of them in the past 100 years? I am now 51. My current track on the app is that I have visited 51. My app also made a very beautiful one, which has a seal collection function. Because you were also a designer before, it was also the original one. So how did the materials or materials in your app come about? First of all, my app has nothing. I didn’t have the most complete plan at the beginning. I did it wherever I thought. My first idea is my first pront, which is literally to tell the cursor. Give me a tiktok style one that slides up and down, right, because I directly thought that my product looks like this, right. Then immediately after this page is finished, the second page is to make a map. There is no material left here. Then I answer your question about materials. The problem with materials is that there are two kinds of materials. One material is because I made the seal. There is now a batch collection system. You can check in when you go and collect the batch. This is also a paid function. If you collect more than three, you have to buy pro. Something like this, and then the batch function was something I thought of later. Then I thought I could add this thing, and at the same time I could also make a payment, because I didn’t want this app to start. It was very annoying to pay, so I came up with this idea. In fact, there may have been a period of time before. It may have been the first version of nadovnr in Maybe there was no nadovnr pro. I used O3 at the time, so I used O3 for the base model. Then the tripe image model used a certain image model in tripe. Then I let it generate all my small 3D things. Then it was very manual. I didn’t write one at the time, such as the display of calling the API, because I still used the tripe app or the web to copy prompts to make it constantly updated and generated. Then there may be changes in the middle, and some of the most annoying things in the middle. It means you do image processing. For example, when you generate something, you need a transparent background or a slight change of the background. This is very good. You should know that there is no particularly good tool for this until now. When we talked today, it happened to be GPT2 GPT image2. I haven’t tried one of our products yet. You took this thing and then I used GPT to do this and it was very easy to hit its limit. I was a member of 20 dollars at the time. Then for this, I upgraded to 200 dollars, so that part of the seal It is completely generated by GPT. Do you use its image model to generate 100 seals? 100 seals. Then you need to insert a point here. In addition to the 100 name, Japan also has a 100 continuation name. Those people were not satisfied, so they made 100, and then they made 100 more. I originally wanted to add 100 continuation, but later it was too annoying and there were too many things, so I cut off 100 continuation. Because in the process of going to some cities, I found that many of the 100 cities were in ruins. They were just residential buildings. In fact, later I felt that even if I gave myself an excuse, it would be nothing good. What about this APP for you? It is a very Japanese culture, a kind of collection of punch cards, especially stamps, a kind of digitization of gameplay. And I want to talk about this. This is very funny. I did it about two months ago because I have a support email in the APP. I should not have received it in history. The support email of this APP. Because this APP is not promoted very much, there should not be many downloads. The only one I received is a support email. There is a user. He asked when the 100th support will be renewed. Is he Japanese? He should be Chinese, Chinese, but I forgot it is Fandi or Jianli. Back to the material generation here. Material generation. This one is generated and grown with Tradby. Then I will do some control on the style, right? I will give him some prom and let him go to 3D and so on. Lovely squares and the like, and then that, and then if you want to talk about more details, because because because of each city, if you listen or try my APP, because each city will have some details, some elements, different, each city is different, so what I actually do is I will tell him some actual pictures and history of each city, and then he will generate this. He sometimes generates it very well, because each city, that is, each city does have some culture or a general there, so it should be different. Not all cities have this treatment. Because of the characteristics of some cities here, maybe 6-70% of the cities will have something of their own. Some very famous cities, such as Daman City and Record City. Obviously, there will be many, that is, Record City will have cherry blossoms, etc. Then another material is because I am a. The homepage of my APP is a card for each city. It will have a picture of a castle, and then there will be some content for the report. What I just wanted to ask is these pictures. Did you use photos or generated them? For me, I didn’t use photos because there was a copyright issue with the photos, but it wasn’t just a matter of mysophobia. I circumvented the copyright issue. I used AI to compile it, basically feeding it a lot of material and telling it the history of the city, so that it could generate as many prongs as possible. At that time, in fact, the pronging style was not that easy because today’s pronging is very prong-y. But about a year ago, at that time, pronging required a lot of prongs, so it was a bit laborious. So you really spent some time. And when you look at it now, You should still be able to see the traces of the picture on AI. If it is fresher, then the material will be completely written by AI and then collected. Then it may click some, add some links, jump to some official websites of this city, and micro-encyclopedia. All the content is probably written, and there is no CMS. It is very simple, just 100. It is hard code written in the code. Then this app is probably possible. The basic functions are written. In fact, it only took a week or two. I think it should have taken a week or two. For example, looking at the cursor now. You should be able to see the lock. It is very fast to write. But then you need to adjust some details. It took a long time to adjust. It is similar to making the card slide up and down. How to make the card stick to your hand. It is such a very detailed problem. At that time, even the current AI should not have a good solution. It is not 100%. Then the AI at that time was even worse. It took a lot of time to solve some very detailed design level and interaction level problems. A hundred people came behind you to officially start a company, build a product, and find people. What happened in the middle? What prompted you to start this idea? First of all, I started from my own rationality. I just wanted to start a business. That is to say, I wanted to have some time to explore on my own, including the direction of the team, and then rest for a short period of time, so I didn’t start right away. I had never been to Italy before, and I particularly wanted to go. This has something to do with history, right? I especially want to go to Italy. I want to go to Italy. That is, I think traveling is not necessary for me. But I think there are some places that I really want to go to once. Then I don’t have to go again. It doesn’t matter. But I have never been to Italy before. And I like the history of Rome very much. Of course, if you want to have West Burke talk to me about the history of Rome, I am very welcome, but I probably went to Italy in July or August. It should be three weeks, three weeks or four weeks. Then I basically went to all the places in Italy that I could go to in such a short period of time. Then after I came back, I went to a company of my friend, a friend we should all know together, to experience it and get back to a kind of work or what it feels like to work. The specific thing I did was actually building a product. Then I really worked in a team. Then when I was coding with the consultant of a friend's company, I was really working in a product, in front of the user product. Although my responsibility was a product, what I actually did was that I would do AI coding to do all my things, and then do it from the front to the back, and then do it all the way. Then I probably did this thing for about a month or two, and then I found some feelings. Another reason at that time was that maybe I wanted to return to some of this kind of routine state because I took a break, so my friends happened to confirm it and then I did it for a while. But after this experience, Around September last year, I made it clear that I was going to start, I was going to start doing my own thing, I was going to start building a team, and then I started to start in the direction I was optimistic about and started to invest in making products. In fact, I think I can insert a paragraph here about your previous work experience, such as when you graduated or started on Zhihu. I think you should start on Zhihu. I was in 11 years, when I was still studying business in the United States, and it was a two-year program, supposed to be from 10 to 12 years. Then in 11 years, even if it was the vacation between the two academic years, I went back to China for a trial. When I returned to China for a trial, I was submitted to Innovation Factory. Then I was a product, and I worked as an interaction designer in Innovation Factory, which is to do practical work. Its mechanism is to arrange you into some of the projects that Innovation Factory invested at that time. At that time, I was assigned to a project that he could force out later. I found it very boring, but I didn’t understand the product, and their team was also very small. There were maybe a dozen of them, and I was assigned to it. Then I felt that this project was very boring. I might have done something, but it was not very important. Then I joined a group of interns who wrote a bit like students of the same level. There was another girl who went there. At that time, she also went to a project that she didn't like. Then one day she told me that she went to Dot.com. Dot.com was the star project of the Innovation Factory at the time, the star project. Yes, yes, she particularly liked Dot.com. I was right to Dot.com at that time because she was a bit dot.com. How should I put it? I felt a strange feeling. I didn’t like it that much. Then she especially liked Diandian. Then one day she applied for her own transfer. Then she let me find out that I could transfer to another project by myself. Then I went to find the person who was in charge of our design team at the factory at that time. Then I asked her if I could start some other projects. Then she looked confused. Then the following is like this. I think the latter story is a coincidence. I actually told you before that we were on that Twitter. It should be that I want to follow you, or I want to follow each other and forget. I must know you because you should be a relatively famous designer in the design circle at the time. Yes, I think from an objective point of view. Then I think no one should object to my statement. Then, I then because you were on Twitter, which was still called Twitter at the time, and posted a selfie. I didn’t know the story. I probably didn’t. I hadn’t seen you post a selfie on Twitter, so although I had never met, I knew what you looked like. And then, because we didn’t have any videos before. During that time, I should have used a real person avatar. I forgot. Anyway, I just saw yours. Don’t say that I posted a selfie. It was so disgusting. I saw your photo on Twitter. Yes, I was in the factory at that time because the factory should not have announced the investment at that time. It was a secret thing. Then it was in innovation at that time. It was not long after I moved there. I had just moved. I had just moved there. At that time, I remember it very clearly. It was in the section of the third phase of the building. Zhong'an Chong was there. The factory should be on the 17th and 18th floors. Then One day at noon or midnight, I was making lunch in a very simple place in the middle. When I was going to make lunch, I came across us. We were right outside the area of the canteen. There should be no canteen. No. There is a canteen, it's just a thing, it's a corridor, it's actually a corridor, right, and then there's a pool, and then I asked you, who are you? You should remember, is that so? How do I remember that there was someone who brought you over and said yes? I started Zhihu when I was studying. I should have started Zhihu at the beginning of 2011. Zhihu might have been launched at the end of 2010. I liked it a long time ago. I used Cora very much. The story may be boring and can be solved later. Then I actually mean that I am already a Zhihu user who attaches great importance to me. And I applied for registration by myself using a Google Sheet. I filled in one. What am I? I filled in one. What am I in HTML5? What expertise, information, etc. Then he invited me in, and then I was so I had more than 3,000 accounts at the time. I should be a registered user with more than 3,000 accounts, so I was already using Zhihu at that time, and then I knew that Zhihu was already in the factory. So I joined Zhihu at that time. I was an intern at the beginning and then when I started school, I felt that entrepreneurship in Zhihu was still relatively early. There was a typical kind of entrepreneurship, very passionate, everything was possible, and the development was very fast. The people there were very, very very. People in the early Zhihu were very interesting, and the users were also very interesting, so I felt that what I was doing was much more interesting than reading. Reading is to learn something from a book, which is as long as reading a paper. For me, this is something I particularly want to do. Then in the schools in the United States, it is actually possible. They are more casual. You can just send an email and you can study. Then I sent an email saying that I want to study. Can I just postpone it and postpone the next school year? Then they agreed. So I was working in the post at that time, that is, becoming a full-timer, that is, continuing to work. It was about 11 years. If I joined the job, I may have joined the job in July or August. I probably forgot the specific details. Then officially, it may be 9. It doesn’t matter. I stayed in the job for almost three years. So this is my first official job. Do you remember the influential things you did at Zhihu at that time or the more important products? I think it may be the most influential thing now, but it doesn’t feel particularly influential when I say it. In fact, it was me who left the Zhihu column. You may not know it. I always thought at the time that you should have already left. Then of course I felt that because there was a more important project in the middle, Zhihu was going to open registration. When the registration was opened, I was the one who set it up. At that time, Brother Chong may have already left. I don’t know what’s going on when he might make an APP. Then I came to design that one. What does the open registration homepage look like? What does the unlogged homepage look like? Because before the revision, the version you designed was very minimalist. That homepage on Earth. Then this design itself. Designing this homepage is not a particularly awesome project. But during the design process, I need to discuss more with Zhou Yuan about what the core value of Zhihu’s product is. Because there may be a sentence or a message to convey to the user. During this process, I will think a lot by myself. What is the core value of Zhihu? And in the end, we may finally have a version. The version of publish data at that time was to share your knowledge, experience and insights with the world. That's it. But this has a greater impact on me. It makes me think about what the core intelligence of Zhihu's product should be. It was possible at that time, around 2013 or 14, and it must be long-term. I think what should the positioning of this product be? Then I finally said that my answer to this matter is not necessarily the same as Zhou Yuan or others. But my own answer is that I think Zhihu is a platform for Gao Zhilang content on the Chinese Internet, and there may not be something like UG CPUC at that time. I just think that we must provide all high-quality content. This is my own answer. If it is high-quality content, if the vision is this, then our products may be. For example, the product is to serve the vision. Zhihu only had Q&A at the beginning. It is obvious that you should not only have Q&A. Maybe Cora may have published something similar to article at that time. I kind of forgot that Cora published a blog very early. Then I felt that Zhihu must have a form that is similar to an article or a format where you can publish content without asking questions. Then I always wanted to promote this thing. Zhou Yuan’s impression at the beginning was that he was not very excited about it. But because of the early days of Zhihu, everyone was actually relatively open and free. You push a project. At some point, you can also push it online, or you can promote it as long as you find enough people. So at that time, I basically said that it was one of the more important projects before I left Zhihu. The last project was one of the last projects. Just make this thing completely and push it online. Then I still remember that after I made this thing, I struggled with the name for a long time because it was called a Zhihu article. This thing was very boring. Then I went to find Ji Xin, the CEO Cofounder of Zhihu at the time, and then I asked him for his advice. It was his name. He didn't think about it at first, but he was very clear about this challenge. I was very excited. He met me one day, and he suddenly said two words to me, which is to turn the column, which is called column. I think the name may not be that perfect, but it may be better than all the names I thought at the time. It has a sense of elitism, that is, before the column, can’t everyone write and post a column? It is in a magazine. The column in the newspaper is a privilege that only a few people have. There is also a name, which will also affect the decision-making of a product, that is, you let users post articles. Is it in a blog? Because I didn’t want to call it a blog at the time, or you can just post it in one place, for example, like the current exit post, but the column may be limited. You have to have a column, or in general users will post like this. But in the end, I didn’t have a good name, so I just used the column. Then we just used the column. In fact, it was just me at the time, plus maybe one or two front paragraphs, plus a back paragraph. I still remember their names. Now there is a former master who is with me. I am now in the company, and then we made this product. I think this is a project that has the greatest impact on me individually, and it still has a certain impact, although I think it may be okay. So your next, more interesting career experience is Xiaohongshu, and it is the early Xiaohongshu. I think my parents want to say it is one. It is also a bit like my parents eating. There are also some coincidences and some factors in it. I was in 2016, it should be 2016. In the summer of 2016, I took my parents to the United States. After playing for a while, I took them to build citizens. Anyway, I took them to the classic route of Highway 1 self-driving, and then detoured to Vegas and went to Yosemite. It was a loop, and it was mainly self-driving. During that experience, I was in the back. When we circled back to San Francisco, we had a mutual friend and he was in Airbnb. Because we met a long time ago, when I passed by Jinshan, I still remember that day. I should have gone to see him in the afternoon, and I also went to watch the Warriors game in the evening. And anyway, because I had a good relationship with him, I was working at Airbnb at the time. I went to him and asked him to visit. Airbnb was in a very fancy office that was supposed to be very famous. It was a garden-like office at that time. Now the bank heard that the lease was canceled. So we were in the Airbnb office on the top floor. We went to the top floor. He had some beautiful places and a table tennis table. I still remember that we played table tennis there. At that time, I was probably a little bit confused about my career. I can’t say that I was confused. But there is one thing I want to consider about my next career, or what kind of things I should do, and what kind of choices I should have. Then he was obviously working in a company like Airbnb, and we also talked about this topic at the time, but it was not particularly developed. I came back to China. It should be less than a week or two after I returned to China. He called me and said, very hurriedly. He said that I was going back to China. I wanted to return to China to join. It was something like this. Then he was very surprised by the news. Then he asked me if I wanted to come with him. Xiaohongshu. In fact, I knew Xiaohongshu's product at the time because it was for women. In the early days, it was actually used by women for shopping. In fact, I was definitely not the target user. And the product design at that time could not be said to be, and there was not much customer appeal, so I didn't pay special attention to this product. Then as soon as I remembered it, I wanted to say that the logo was very long and drawn at the beginning. It was an open book. The color, which was very dark red, was a particularly good color because I had just moved to Shanghai and had been in Beijing before. I had just moved to Shanghai for a while, so Xiaohongshu happened to be in Shanghai. At that time, there was basically nothing worthwhile in Shanghai. The Internet companies I went to Bilibili were also relatively small. Many of them had not yet started. It was not like today. In fact, there were not many Internet companies in Shanghai at that time. So I went to Xiaohongshu to learn about it. After going to Xiaohongshu to chat, I found that the team was actually pretty good. In the early days, Xiaohongshu was relatively elite. In the early days, Xiaohongshu included Mao Wenchao and some early founders or executives or some more important people. In fact, they are all in the United States. They have been to some pretty big companies. Then maybe Xiaohongshu has a special feature. Many of them have a background in consulting companies and come back to work as executives or e-commerce operations. For example, when I first joined Xiaohongshu, I went because I was working on community products. Then I went to sit down with the operations team. Then I found that a very basic girl who was chatting with me was a girl who was doing content operations. She graduated from Stanford GSB, and she was a basic person who did simple content note review. She graduated from Stanford Business School. This is the error. So in the early days of Xiaohongshu, everyone actually had a relatively strong elite atmosphere, and everyone wanted to do awesome things. I really liked the team banner of Xiaohongshu at that time, and I didn’t think too much about it. I thought the company was quite interesting, so I joined Xiaohongshu. I joined Xiaohongshu in October 2016. At that time, Xiaohong The DAO of the book should be relatively good. I can say that it is relatively small anyway. Basically, when you open it, it is a very small, small-scale product. Then I joined Xiaohongshu. Until I left, it was basically four full years. I was doing community products in Xiaohongshu. The so-called community products are actually this APP except the mall tab, because it may be community. If you are small, for example, if the message tab and my tab, there is nothing you can do. If the product is small, In fact, I was working on the content of this product, from its style to discussing with early recommendations and how to distribute this content. Later, maybe around 2017 or 2018, I started to focus on making cameras and making cameras. At that time, Douyin came up, so everything was included in the category of the community. I have done all these things, and then I want to say that I have done all these things. When I left, I should say that it is already a relatively large-scale company. Maybe the more life it has, the more life it has, it has reached hundreds of millions, right? Probably a relatively complete experience of the process of Xiaowangshu from small to medium size. I think that when I was making Xiaowangshu, when I started to make this product, I actually felt that I didn’t know anything, just that I didn’t know what a content platform was. Because at that time, we looked back to 2016, when Douyin may have just started or not yet started. At that time, everyone thought that the largest and most powerful so-called imbalanced products in the market were Weibo and WeChat. But today we all see that TikTok and Xiaowangshu are actually completely Even Kuaishou may not have been that big at that time, including video, so I look back at the experience today. In fact, these platforms are essentially based on UGC and maybe in the future. After this product has developed to a later stage, PGCPUGC has built content platforms or content communities based on the content generated by these users. Then the above personalized recommendation distribution is a very important part. Judging from the results, we have constructed such a product form. So there is no doubt that Xiaowangshu is in China today. I think it is in China. We can think of the platform in China today. There are only four influential ones, or add five at most. Douyin Xiaowangshu Kuaishou Station B, video account, the others are not important, it is Xiaowangshu. I think from today's point of view, it is definitely very valuable. Even depending on different people's views, it may be the most valuable, the most special one. Although it uses a lot of materials, there is no doubt that it is not money, and it is not as good as video accounts and Kuaishou. But the scene and value of its products include it because it has a strong search, including its graphics and text, so it has a strong differentiated value. But when I was doing it, I didn’t know anything, just what any of these things were. And the people who were doing these things with us at that time, including the early community operations at that time, such as Mao Wenchao or Conan, were the management of Xiaowangshu. I think everyone didn’t have a very clear sense of what kind of product we were making. In the middle, everyone would think that we were going to become an Instagram. But if you look at today’s results, it was just a passing cloud. In fact, in the end, the product form that Xiaowangshu constructed This is a very powerful product with a long-term moat based on UGC search and information flow distribution. Of course, if we are in AI today, this is another matter. But when we were doing it, we actually did it in a step-by-step manner without knowing what we were doing. Then I think the most interesting part at the time was that in fact, for example, when we were looking for jobs today, what strategies might everyone divide into C-end products? But at that time, In fact, there is no telling what a product can do or cannot do, so it is just to recommend. I think it is basically my job. In fact, it is to work with the few people who are most compatible with the recommendation team, including the most comprehensive few people from the operation team. I often sit with them, and I am more exclusive. I stay in a room with a product by myself, and only talk to the product. I often communicate with many users, including at that time, to solve the product step by step and encounter some problems, which impressed me deeply. Because when you were confused, you also liked to hang out with engineers, just chatting about something together. Because a designer like me might prefer to spend a lot of time thinking by myself instead of seeking this kind of communication from outside. I think this may also be your characteristics or abilities, because many of the Xiaolong data board products are actually very simple in nature, such as some recommendations. But I think it may be difficult for us to talk about special details today. Essentially, if you don’t understand some of the basics of recommendations, such as how to recall For example, for example, there are steps like gold and rough. It may be difficult to know where it is. For example, some steps will affect the product experience and which will not. And if you don’t know, when engineers are recommended to make these product decisions, they will actually do some, and they will actually do it. It is not necessarily to make the best composite user product experience, or how to talk about your product value data. So I think for someone who makes, for example, you are making this kind of content platform product, you have to have a very good understanding of how your distribution is done, and then give this Your role in judging your product, including operations and recommendations, may be further apart, right? Many times, for example, in the early days, people who worked in content communities or platforms, everyone has more or less the same feeling. Operations feel that their content cannot be distributed. This is a very classic problem. Of course, in this problem, every case deserves to be looked at very carefully, looking at the entire link to see why it cannot be distributed. What are the problems in it that are worthy of being discussed? It is very valuable to apply it to all mechanisms. In fact, collecting cases one by one, debugging, and modifying the possible problems. I think this cumulatively makes the product continuously iterative and better. But because for example, the problem of content distribution, users do not have a strong perception. It is not like the C-side problem of a product. I clicked this button and the button did not work. In fact, distribution itself is a kind of product design, right? Or product experience. Many times if a piece of content that should have traffic has poor traffic, this is a bad product execution. At this time, it is difficult for users to report this problem, so you have to collect it from many aspects, whether it is operations or KOL. Of course, there were no KOLs in Xiaoshu in the early days. They were all people who grew up with Xiaoshu. From their feedback on their own traffic, you can tell that some of them are indeed very valuable. This is because this thing has great experience. Why does it not work? But I think there are a lot of them in the middle, and there is no way to summarize them into a big, detailed matter of a thing. Especially the product itself is a product that has grown from small to large. This company has grown from small to large. It is not built on the premise of a very complete system like the current Byte. So there is a lot of practical, very interesting, but very fragmented, and very diverse work that needs to be done. For example, another very interesting thing is in Xiaohongshu. I actually spent a lot of time on it. To build the AB test platform within Xiaohongshu. In fact, the product itself can be considered. I am the product manager of this product. Of course, there is no such title. It was me and another colleague of mine at Xiaohongshu at the time. It was the first to do data. It is the data of data engineering. We also have some products. We basically worked together because no one said at the time that we wanted to build an AB test platform. At that time in 2018, everyone was top. In fact, we did not have such a strong perception that we must have such a strong thing. Then, if you make recommendations, AB test is very critical. This should not need to be explained. Everyone knows everything about the situation. But if your entire team adopts this data-driven system, you need a good tool. So at that time, I actually spent a long time to make this internal tool to make this internal tool easy to use, including more functions in the future. In fact, more product functions will use this thing platform. This matter has a great sense of accomplishment for me, including myself, as I said in my speech, I am the person who conducts the most experiments. But they may have changed the platform now. I don’t know. We even once did it because I spent too much time. He made a ranking and gave me an award. It wasn’t very important. He just gave me a random one. Then Mao Wenchang took a photo with me. A story like this, just because, but that was very special. It was done by myself. It was not a big one because the platform itself was mainly done by me and another colleague. It had nothing to do with the product, but for me, doing such a thing in a company For me, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment. It just makes me feel that I haven’t done anything before. I haven’t spent any time at Facebook, right. I don’t know what it is to be truly data-driven. I haven’t been there before, and I haven’t been there before the novel. So at that time, it was just based on my own feelings. I felt that I figured this thing out by myself. Then I also learned some of these theories of data analysis. It’s also quite interesting. What is significance and non-significantness? This is a very basic thing. There may not be any step-by-step tutorials. So I started to make it. I think this part is a very interesting part of my countless experiences in retrospect. Yes, I was a designer, a product manager who was a designer. What was your title at the time? Was it a product manager? Or was it a product leader or something? At that time, I thought this was another interesting point. Because I was talking directly before, including when I was in some of my later experiences, including when I was at Dine, I actually did a lot of design, right? Of course we all thought that we also had to do some product work. But in fact, we will do the delivery and execution of the design. Then when we went to Xiaowuwu, I didn’t preset what I had to do, but Xiaowuwu actually had designers and product managers in his company. So when I went for the interview, after the interview, I might go and they were ready to hire me. Then I talked to Deng Chao. Deng Chao is the product leader of Xiaowuwu. He is responsible for the design of the product. Then he asked me whether I wanted to be a product manager or design, and he gave me a choice. I didn’t really want to be a product manager at the time. Maybe I don’t know if this can be broadcast. In the early days, we all hated product managers. They only gave orders but didn’t do anything, right? Then later I thought about the product manager’s right to speak. It seems that the product manager’s right to speak is bigger. It can decide what to do. If you become a designer, it becomes possible that you have to take the demand. So I chose to be a product manager. But I also told Deng Chao at the time that I wanted to do design. The title you enter is the product manager. I actually made the first product, not on the web, not on the app. I made it for the web, and made a book for enjoying. An early function for KIO, a long note, similar to the one in the book for enjoying, an editor for the public account function. When I was making that product, I actually made the design of that product myself. I didn’t want to. It was just a habit. I didn’t want to use other designs. Including me at that time, I also designed an official website for the overseas version of Enjoy the Book. At that time, it was very beautiful but it was not launched online. Then gradually I discovered that when I was doing some very interesting things, I didn’t necessarily have to do the design myself, so it changed to maybe a main component. Then for example, I started to participate in some apps. When doing these things, I probably did it very quickly. I probably did it for a month or two, and then I immediately found a photographer to extract it, etc., and entered into this more traditional workflow. So I want to say that the representative is actually the product manager. And then why did you join ByteDance? The core reason is that Byte at the time, for example, or the experience of making C-end products, was because he made products like TikTok. Of course, TikTok was made before, for example, Musically, which is globalization. What is global is that no company in China has been so successful in globalizing C-end software products, and TikTok is such a product. It may be the same as Xiaoshu, or it may be original. Musically is not called TikTok, but it is also original and does very well. It is a product with many very awesome features. At that time, I thought Alex was mainly Alex. It does not mean that people here may not know how to offend people. It is the management of Alex and Yimin. They are a very good person. I really wanted to learn from them at that time. Then I really feel that they have a lot for me to learn and want to know why this company can be so awesome. This has created such a motivation for me. So for example, it is not for, not simply, not to say OK company, I want to go to better opportunities, but for example, when I went, for example, if I go to other companies, I have no, not even a second thought that I want to go to another company, that is, another big company, because Uncle Xiaolong is also very valuable to me, or an experience that I like very much. I actually don’t like going to a big company. But Byte is a place that I think is very unique, and its products, its brand, and the way it does it are undoubtedly very unique, so I just have a learning mentality. One night I read all the immigration Weibo. He may have deleted it later, but I read all the Weibo one night. I still think it is very interesting, right? Then Alex also did some of his interviews online, which is one of the few interviews he has on the Internet. I mainly work on the Shanghai part of Douyin. Well, then on Douyin, I think if I look at the results, I think I should have done some awesome things. Do I always use the word "awesome" to make some more powerful things? Um, for example, the Xiao Huo Man may be considered one, but I don't think it is the same. First of all, Xiao Huo Man and Sparks should be very successful trial products now. I think according to some people may be very, very successful, but it was indeed me who was in charge of the team at the time. Even my influence on these products should be very, very large. Uh, as for other products, I think I have done a lot. If you look at it from a product perspective, for example, if you carry it on your resume, it is not a good analogy. You can say how much data has been improved and how much scale it has reached. There are many, many products like this, but I think the ones worth mentioning may be Xiaohuoren, Spark, and we have made the scale of Douyin IM to a relatively large scale. What this number does not say is that we actually do it in Douyin anyway. There is still ineffective progress in socializing with acquaintances. I think the results may be like this. Others, I have done a lot of big impact in Byte, which is a very large amount of data. Including later, I started using a lot of AI to do a lot of things in 2032 or 24, including AI special effects. Yes, because I was responsible for AI special effects at that time. I was responsible for special effects. Uh, so I also did a lot of AI things. I think I have some comments on Byte. That is, my expectations for Byte were relatively high at the beginning. It should be said that I think Byte is a very awesome place. And the recommendations in it, uh, include the way they do things. Everyone, uh, the products they make are actually very good, and the data is also great. So, but my overall feeling, I think there are some stages that I have experienced. When I first entered, I felt that there was a very strong sense of freshness. For example, when I was a small clerk, I may feel that the recommendation team I worked with may be a top recommendation engineer. Maybe not more than five, but when I went to Byte, I found that there might be twenty people like this, and I felt like wow, so the talent is really a lot, but gradually, um, as time goes by, I will find Byte itself, the configuration of his team or the way he does things, I will see more problems. But I feel that it is difficult for me today. I still see a lot of problems that are difficult to solve, especially when they get bigger. After getting bigger, getting bigger is a big factor. Then later on, I also made a lot of efforts. I want to make a lot of changes, right? Changes in the directions that I can reach, but overall in the end, I still find that any company is still There is still a very long version of him, and there is also a short version of him. I think that in the later period, it must be in my own. I gradually feel that I can learn less and less from this company. At least I personally may be my problem. Of course, I think that in the past, for example, Alex and I may have had more or less contact with Alex. There must be some cooperation. I think Alex is still very powerful. He is very powerful in terms of his judgment of product benefits, method judgment, etc. But later on some things about the company as a whole, I think in the long run. I don’t want to be a manager myself. This thing is not very attractive to me. It seems to be in charge of a lot of people and very big things. But in fact, you can’t do a lot of innovation in what you do all day long. Then, you are doing some management things and doing some communication things. There are a lot of processes, so this is what I don’t like. I think it is definitely necessary. But this is also liked by some people, and some people are very comfortable with it. But this is the main reason why I don’t want to stay on my own for a long time. I still prefer to do something. Interesting and ground-breaking, try something new Speaking of this, interesting and innovative things, would you like to talk about your new product, one of your new products? In fact, recently we are actually making several products. And we are, as Du Xiao just said, you said this should be, it is a product that we have recently invested more experience in, called Clauli, and we may also change the name. It doesn't matter. The origin of this product is also very interesting. It was when we were in January. At that time, we were making an agent product. The agent product we made at that time was more aimed at productivity and strong productivity. For example, we explored some directions of making a video agent. Then we have made a very complete one. We made a video agent, made a PPT, and also had some more basic general products for research. At that time, we made a product based on the Cloud Agent SDK. During the process, we found that we wanted to add this product. We want to give it some attributes. For example, we want it to have a lower threshold for ordinary people to use it, but at the same time it may have very powerful capabilities. For example, it is more common sense, such as better memory, etc. This is something that everyone often mentions when doing everything now. And then, from the end of October last year, the agent actually has a lot of ecological aspects, and some technical things gradually came out. Of course, we may not have talked about it today. For example, in November and December last year, things like Opus actually had a very big change in Vibeship. Then we If we make such a product at the end of October or January, we definitely want to take advantage of the booming ecosystem, such as many and many skills, right? We don’t have to build our own skills or similar things separately for every scenario. So we found that the Open Cloud framework is actually very satisfying for what we want to do with the previous product halfway through. For example, it has better memory, it is well compatible with the skill ecosystem, and it has many designs, such as basic System Prompt and so on. He is more like an ordinary person, easier to get started with, an agent experience, more like a human being, etc. Such basic things, so at that time, we started as a relatively simple and fast project. We thought that we were using Open Cloud ourselves. I don’t know if you have used Open Cloud, but today Open Cloud, everyone should have listened to you. We started based on ourselves. We installed some Open Cloud ourselves and then included it locally and in the cloud. We also deployed some. We found that there are many, many problems with this thing, right? Everyone knows Deploy it as fast as possible, and then you have to configure the token yourself. If you want to get some capabilities, you have to do a lot of things yourself. So we made a very simple idea at that time, that is, we wanted to make a product that ordinary users can easily use our Cloud. And this is not what Tencent is doing downstairs. Isn't this what Tencent is doing downstairs? Yes, yes, the possible results are compared with the results. I think we originally wanted to release it before the Spring Festival, but we found that it took a lot of time to develop a certain product. But I think today I think this product We have done a better job. In fact, I think if a user really wants to use Open Cloud, I think our product is a better product that can offer a personal experience of Open Cloud. But I think that as Open Cloud makes this product, we have also discovered the direction of Agent. I think some of its challenges are whether it is product positioning or whether it really goes to market or commercialization. Of course, there are many in China, such as installation, one-click installation, etc. This is something that I think is definitely valuable, but it may be relatively short-term. So now we are actually also rethinking some of the positioning of this product. We also have some relatively big things, and we may gradually improve this product. We are now basically in a. We have conducted internal testing for about a month, more than a month, and then there is probably One or two hundred internal beta users are all friends of friends. And the internal beta users are not so many who are mainly engaged in the Internet, but they may all be white-collar workers, which are more white-collar and knowledge-based jobs. Then we found out from the internal beta that ordinary people can actually be very capable. They still need the most advanced agents. There are many capabilities offered by various agents. But there are several huge gaps here. The first one is that they actually don’t know that agents can do these things. This is a A very big problem is that we often do this product because we are still relatively simple and have not done much education and the like. We may have done it. We may have told users that it can be used in this way. Then users know and say OK. It turned out to be so awesome, so today everyone still doesn’t know that such a product form can do such a thing. This is the first one. The second one is of course. I found that this discussion has entered a comparative environment, as if talking to investors. The second one is the agent. If he can exert his maximum ability, he needs to be better. In addition to a good base model, everyone knows that it actually needs to obtain your complete or more accurate context. This problem is relatively simple for programmers, but for many white-collar workers, especially non-programmers, or white-collar workers who work in transactional tasks or mainly workers, their context is basically scattered, or there is no good way to feed it to the agent. Today, many companies and many products are solving this problem, but so far, there should be no company or any product form that has solved this problem well. So this is a big gap. Another big gap. And apart from this, there is no doubt the price, because today’s best model is actually different from slightly better models. When it comes to complex tasks, especially agent-related tasks, the difference is still relatively big. Some models are actually very cost-effective, but they are okay for general tasks. But once we enter complex scenarios, especially ours. In fact, basically it is draining a lot of the agent's capabilities, so if you always use the best model to let users do things, it will be very, very expensive. We have not done a good job in this psychological construction. We can spend so much money. Although in this X or the narrative of VC or the narrative of Silicon Valley, everyone says that you are actually hiring an employee. Why am I here? But now, except for companies in Silicon Valley, most companies do not have such a strong mentality. Just me, I spend thousands of dollars or thousands of RMB a month to hire an agent. Doing these things is actually replacing my employees. Speaking of this, we have an internal project management software called MICE. I have always believed that this form of Kanban requires a lot of manpower to maintain, or linear. First, you have to create a task. Of course, you can use some methods to automatically create tasks. But for a design team like ours, many tasks still need to be written and created manually. Although we have done some simplified work, for example, you can click on a conversation in Slack. It will automatically extract the content and help you create a task. But you still have to create a task. I have been thinking about the future of work or the form of future project management software. I made an attempt. That is to say, I was actually inspired by the notion of agent. They have been pushing that function some time ago. Then I went to use it. After about a day, I explored and figured out how it works. After so many years of development, it has a strong ecosystem of connectors. The principle is that there is a very, very detailed system prompt to control this. These connectors are constantly pushing or grabbing the context, and then using a loop or trigger to do something. In fact, when I first saw it, it turned out to be such a simple thing. I was a little surprised, but after using it for a day, I found that the effect is very, very good. It can be implemented in slack. To add it, you can choose to add it or not to add it. He will read all the conversations you send in Slack and will be punished once. This agent is wrong, so I just moved all the tasks on our message in one day and asked him to serve as an office assistant to help us manage these tasks. At the end of the day, it cost about 3000 credits. I forgot that it is really valuable because there is no formal fee for it. I calculated it and it should be about 50 US dollars. I haven’t officially used it for one day. I just set up this workflow and it already cost 50 US dollars. So I felt that this thing was definitely not sustainable, so although it was very useful, I stopped it after using it for a day. Then I tried to use the same SLU in mess to make a similar product. We called it sure, which is called the sous chef. The second chef is the chef. All of us are in the catering category. I also added some connectors to him because notion. Although the connector is very powerful, there are only so many commonly used ones, about five or six. For example, we put slack, figma dropbox github, the most important github, and then use an agent loop to passively accept or actively capture some context in the project. For example, he can analyze who has touched this file, who has opened it, who has saved it, saved several versions, and what comments were posted. Then combined with the tasks in our task board, he can roughly guess the current progress of the task, so this task board has now become a semi-automatic form. I think this It makes us happy to use your quality. What is the agent loop that we wrote ourselves? What is the use of the open clause? What is not useful? We use the convex workflow. Because it is a very long workflow, we use a tool that can be persistently orchestrated so that it can run for a long time. Now, I think this is what I think it would be interesting to talk about this. But our current company has about 9 formal employees. Then we only use linear now. We also use heavy and linear, but I, including everyone, should open linear very few times. We basically use cloud code and sometimes use clody, which is similar. For the principle, it is to manipulate linear and include all. For example, when you just said it, we thought of some specific details. For example, the dashboard of all our data. For example, we use some log services. There are some very useful ones, such as axiom and post hoc services. We actually use them. Clarly's agent then includes Clarco, because it does not have scheduled tasks and does not do well, so we often use Clarly's agent to regularly look at these boards. And I don't know what he is looking at. Anyway, he may be looking at the board. It may be looking at specific data, or it may be looking at this reple, this code reple, and yesterday's submission. For example, I have an agent. This agent will also do it. In fact, every day, he will review the latest new submissions every three hours and then every 24 hours. I will announce the new PRs of the past day, the merging PRs, and any new features. Then he may have about four or five time points in a day, and broadcast them once at each time point. We may have six or seven major post hoc dashboards, and broadcast this dashboard once, and then the recent trends. Then he will find some things, and anyway, very, very, all are timed characters and driven. Then one of the things we are doing now is to drive him to take the next step. Now we may basically find the first step of the problem, including review. But maybe the next step what we are doing now is to allow him to do this. This means that we are not a form product. That is to say, we are using qually in Heavily's work building so that he can do more, such as fixing a problem by himself. But we actually have many companies that may say they are doing it. I am not sure, but we are not actually at this step yet. We are just problem discovery. Basically, we don't look at any of this kind of Sanmao software. We all use the agent method to talk about each other's working methods. I think especially for small teams. In fact, it’s quite interesting. It’s just about using the power of AI to accomplish more things with fewer people. This is what you mentioned before we started recording, because from my understanding, you have also made a lot of products, although some may not be disclosed yet, but you have made so many products based on the scale of nine people, and the time is also very short. I think this is quite powerful. Yesterday, I talked with a friend of mine about Tai’s entrepreneurship, and he asked us what kind of products we made. Then I said that we have made so many products, and he said wow. He asked if you were all-staff programming. I had never thought of this word before, and I felt like I didn’t know if it was a buzzword. I asked him if it was a fashionable buzzword or something like that. But in fact, we are indeed full-staff programming, and what we are now, and we are not touting this thing. I just describe our way and what we are now. For a new employee who wants to join our team, my expectation for him is that he will be agentic or coding-oriented and then manage various things in an agentic way. As a supplement, we intervene in the work in this way. So now, in fact, it will be a bit like the question you just asked, which is how we allocate it now. In fact, first of all, in terms of how everyone works, all of us actually need so-called programming. But in fact, we are using various agents to do various woollish coding, analysis and other tasks. Then in addition to others, it is us. We will have some loose bodies for each project. There may be a person in charge, and then one or two persons in charge. Then there are some members who may be involved in multiple projects together, but roughly these 9 people may be distinguished. We may have three main projects now, and the number of people involved in each project may be about a dozen. But the number of people involved in each project alone may not exceed four or five people at most, which is roughly the same form. But I think this is actually a very interesting one, but maybe now because of everything Things are changing too fast, so there is no way to discuss this topic in an organized way, which is how an organization should evolve in the AI era. I think the problem now is that everyone is trying different ways, and many bragging people think their own way is the best. And many people may still use very ancient ways, etc. I thought of an entry point, that is, they can't do anything now. We exist now. What is the value of our existence before the emergence of UBI? As a design company, what we deliver is no longer design. Unless it's something like marketing, the projects we deliver are actually already code, and design MD. I think the value we have now as a design company means that there is such an information gap before AI completely masters the design. This time difference or information gap also has some information gaps, that is, design MD has really become like I don't know what is more popular now like scale, right? In fact, a design company seems to have no value anymore, right? My feeling is to respond to your question just now, that is, who is there? Is there anything that AI can't do well? I was thinking about it when you were talking about it. And I think you said a lot of it. I basically agree with it. One of my big feelings is that the more you use it, the more you will find that there are actually many things that AI can't do, or it is very difficult to do well. It is a relatively contradictory experience. But in fact, this is how I feel. When I do some things, such as coding or writing and reading information, I will find that the efficiency is greatly improved. This is what you do, and you will not use it in the future. You're right, but in some things, the more you use it, you will still find that there are some things that it just can't do well. Then you have to, or don't have to, and you will realize that you really should invest more energy in the things that it can't do well, and think about how it can do it well. It can give some basic good things, but you can’t really make a good design. Then for the product, you want to make a product. It may include the design, including the product itself. Its definition, differentiation, entry into the crowd, and what is the positioning? This is not done well at all, right, but I feel that many things cannot be done well, so the more I use it, the more I find that it does not do many things well, so there is a kind of contrast or something, that is, many people say AI doom or something. It emphasizes a lot of work. I think it is true in the long-term trend. But in fact, what AI can do today I think is still relatively narrow, but it may be a deep feeling that people are good and people are irreplaceable. Of course, I think the opposite is true. If you don’t have AI, then today’s people Maybe if there is no AI, indeed he is very good. Except for a few, except for some special professions, I think his profession does not need AI. But most people, I think, should use AI. Because in the process of doing this, we may have some comparisons and comparisons with some technical aspects of Mondane. We actually spent a lot of energy because Clawley is a very complete one. What we actually do is very similar. Later, we found out that it is very similar to the perplexity and the personal computer, but we don’t have it. We don’t have such a market yet. That is, we are a very complete agent. He has his own computer. The configuration of the computer is actually not low. It is a cloud computer and it can also control your mobile phone. It can also control various things on your computer. In the process of doing this, we discovered that there are some fashionable sayings that you have to make products for agents, right? But in fact, the problem we encountered is that the agent's infra is indeed a very barren one. Basically, today, one by one, for example, the field is still, but this matter, I think it may be a little bit into a special and more segmented field. But our experience is that if you want to make an agent today, it will not be built on the shoulders of some giants, it may be built on the shoulders of some giants. Only the model is a giant, but everything else has not yet been built. All other necessary foundations and implementations are still in the process of development. Then the agent has his hands and feet tied by many things, including data that users cannot use, including the lack of good tools. Of course, recently everyone has done a lot of cli and other such things, right, so that he can have a lot of access. But until today, in fact, we all know that the Chinese Internet or whether it is the global Internet, the agent is inaccessible to many things. So, I To sum up, we made a very full-featured agent with a complete execution environment for quality control, and then we discovered that the infrastructure work we had to make up, or the infrastructure work we had to do, was very huge. And one thing here is that even if we are halfway through, we want to build these infrastructures. Of course, this is not necessarily what our team wants to do, etc. This does not seem to be an interesting thing to say. It is just a business perspective. I think we have discovered a point, and I think we can mention another point. This may not be so interesting, but I think it is very important. For example, we are actually doing Clark, so we are mainly oriented to users. When we do gold market in the future, we will mainly target overseas, including this product. We are also an English product, etc. But during our internal testing, we found a lot of domestic friends and friends, and because of these opportunities, we came into contact with some domestic, some common ones like Shanghai, some doing advertising, and doing this kind of mainstream companies. These small companies can't set up that kind of thing. Then I will follow Because they are very coincidental, because their friends or other friends happened to use our products, and some company bosses thought this was very interesting and started using it. Then I talked to some companies and they were using it. They didn't even have a clear concept of what agent is. Their AI may not be very useful. Just understand their needs and their daily scenarios. One of my basic findings is that many of today's small and medium-sized companies, non-interconnected, and even larger companies, they can get very great value from agents. I'm absolutely 1000% sure about this, but they have no idea how to start today, and how they should go about doing this. Even Tencent can't do this. Isn't it integrated in WeChat? No. Just today. Just today. For example, lobster is so popular, right? There is no doubt that my mother deserves lobster. Then that one. I went to visit the boss of a company the day before yesterday. The boss of a small company is not an Internet company. He sat down and asked me. The first sentence he said was, I don't know how to pronounce that. Now that everyone should be Hermes. The summary reading is Hermes. I don’t know. It was the first sentence he asked me. Do you know that Hermes is the agent? But he, for example, is definitely not a person who does not understand technology at all, but he is definitely a very ordinary person who is not in the Internet circle. That’s why he has become so popular. But in fact, it is because of his popularity in the market, in self-media or on social media. There is a huge gap with everyone’s actual adoption at work. Yes, I can only say that, definitely Tencent. Some of Tencent’s products are doing well. In other words, Doubao may also be doing well, but in fact we think that the agent can really bring out the greatest value. For example, some of the superficial use of agents in our work that you and I just described can actually do a lot of huge improvements in efficiency. If we talk about many of the current agent products, in fact, the cloud co-work is actually a product direction that I think is more suitable. Or in my opinion, it is a product direction that I think is most suitable for truly bringing agents into the work of the general public, because it is actually equivalent to By using the user's local, you can do more diverse manipulations of various document-based and transaction-based tasks. Computer use here will definitely strengthen its capabilities. But in fact, co-work is a place in addition to code, that is, its slogan is literally claw for anything besides coding. Like I went to that one yesterday, I visited that company where I use our internal testing products. He showed me a case that impressed me very much. It was one of my users. My user was a person from that company. Then he talked to his boss. And others at the same time, he was very proud to show that he used Claw for example to make a form, which is still a very complicated form. He said that he made it in ten minutes, but usually he might have to do a like this, because Claw for example can do almost the same thing as co-work. But I, for example, as a developer of Claw for example, I don’t have heavy use, and I don’t need to make a form, but because in fact, we have made these basic capabilities. In fact, these basic models have this ability, which is the Sing tool given to him, so he can do this. And this is actually, I think, maybe back to the point just now, that is, I think that today, everyone's demand is actually very strong. But this change is because it is too huge, and everyone's boundaries for its capabilities are very vague, and the product form, everyone is still there. Many products, most of the product experience is very poor, so I think today is still in the very early stages of adoption. So I think today, if any company that is doing agent, I think there is a very big opportunity, but there are different ways of doing it, you can have a very The product definition of Touchtap, or something like that, of course we didn’t say that we must do work. I just said that we actually didn’t want to make a work-oriented product at the beginning. We wanted to make a more personal product that ordinary people can use. This is the reason why we made an app in the first place. But today, if we directly Take a look at the scenes that are in strong demand and must be work-related. Although our internal users actually find that they use a lot of them. They help them manage their fitness, tell their fortunes, and have a superior user to help them fight landlords and count cards. He is essentially a user. He is essentially a smarter friend or AI. But these possible work scenarios are definitely still the most valuable today. So your final product form is very similar to Poke. I actually like the form of the Poke product. Then it is actually open cloud, but it was released in September last year, and he met his challenge today. I think his challenge is definitely the same. If you are not focusing on this kind of productivity scenario, because it is difficult for me to pay, this commercial aspect is very related to what I just said. If you can have a free product, it doesn’t matter. A very popular product called Mobby allows ordinary people to make some Apps, and then he also made an App that other people use to make money. It has a bit strange function like this, but it also encounters some problems with you. And today I feel a bit like I read one that day. I read something that day, but this one. I should have read some early books on computers and the history of computer development. It was a bit confusing. I suddenly remembered which one it was, but when I read that book, I felt that it was very similar to the era we are experiencing today. In the beginning, many things were focused on productivity. Especially last week, I watched a video of Steve Jobs, probably in the 1990s, when he was at Next. He was introducing the products he had at that time, and he drew some people they were going to target on his whiteboard, such as lawyers, doctors, and so on. Basically, you were selling a SaaS, or there may not have been a concept of SaaS at the time. You basically sold a product that was very productive. But later on, in fact, the entire computer Everyone knows that computers, TikTok, and mobile phones have become very, very entertaining. I think that they may all go through such a process. In fact, today, you and I may be dealing with AI and don’t know what to say. How to put it, people who understand this kind of related dynamics better will know that the capabilities of AI are already very strong, but what ordinary people are exposed to or experienced is actually very large. With this, there is a big gap with the ceiling, and then maybe the demand for high productivity will be used first, and then slowly return to entertainment in the long term. There will be such a process. When I talk about this, it seems a bit like a mentor. That's not what I mean. I just want to have some opinions. I suddenly thought that I actually thought of that. You should have seen it. Before that, it should be last week. Kapathy Andra Kipathy posted a tweet, and then Andra Kipathy had a little bit. Now it feels like this. How should I put it? I made an inappropriate analogy the other day. I said he was Confucius in the AI world or something like that. This is not it. It sounds a bit disrespectful to Confucius. Can it be cut? But what I mean is that he actually said a lot of very influential views and concepts in the AI era. Starting last year, for example, the word Vibe coding is Coin, right. Then later, he said, he said, in that speech at YC, he said this is not Agent, this is not The Year of Agents, this is The Decade of Agents. He said some very powerful concepts and then, at the end of December last year, the famous Obers During this period, everyone realized the magic of Vibe coding, and then he also put this. It should be him. I remember it was another person who said Obers 4.6 under his post. At that time, 4.5 was still Clocko. He compared it to the Gutenberg printing press. I can’t remember clearly. I remember it was another person who said it and then he forwarded it. But I am a little bit wrong. I mean, Andrea Capati from Shang Shang Zhong posted a Tweet. In fact, if you want to find it, you can look it up. He posted a Tweet, and he discovered that in fact, the AI that most ordinary people use and have the most contact with is actually TraderBT, the most common model, and especially the Voice mode of TraderBT, which is a more legacy model. Then, they actually have a lot of problems and even make fun of AI. This matter has become a mean thing on TikTok or Instagram, and people will make fun of AI. Why is it so stupid? But in fact, the real cutting edge of AI is 4.6, 4.7 or something like this. This new thing is actually very, very capable of doing very powerful things. He is describing this very huge gap. It is this body feeling that is very similar to my body feeling. So I feel that no matter what product or model you make today, I think it is all the same. You are standing at the starting point of this journey. If you look at it from a utilitarian point of view, you have a lot of opportunities and can do a lot of great things or eventually. You have a large-scale product. You are not particularly active on social media now. So if anyone wants to follow you, where can they go to find you? Or some of your products, official website, etc., which can be shared later and shared in this shownotes. First of all, I am also looking for one. How about myself? Let me talk about the state of things. So I am in the process of my own transition. If I want to pay attention now, I think it is okay. Mainly pay attention to me first. I am on axe and geek, mainly on these two platforms. In fact, today's episode is our first podcast. The previous episode with Wang Xiaoguang. The episode with Wang Xiaoguang is actually an audio interview transcript. I just finished writing the article and felt that it was a pity to throw it away, so I released it. At the beginning, because CBVV is a very professional anchor. When he started our video conference, he asked me if I wanted to record like what is called N2N, which is split-track recording. I said no, it should be Famous last word, and then we started. It turned out that both of our audio tracks were one track, and they were all mixed together. And when cutting, although it can be cut, there will still be some. I also prefer to steal people to talk like this, so there are many places that are broken. Thank you everyone for your testimony. Someone has said it in the comments, so we also spent a lot of money to purchase microphones. Okay. This is the program for this episode. Thank you Tianlu. Then you can follow Tianlu on social media and the future product releases of their company. Okay, thank you everyone. I am very honored to be able to participate in the first episode of the podcast. Thank you everyone. Bye, bye.
