Recently, at the Qubit Meet 2024 Intelligent Future Conference, the results of the high-profile 2023 Artificial Intelligence Annual Selection were officially announced. Whale Founder & CEO Ye Shengsheng Jerry has been listed on the 2023 Qubit TOP 30 Artificial Intelligence Leaders list for his outstanding contributions and outstanding achievements in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years.
The 2023 Artificial Intelligence Annual Selection involves hundreds of leading domestic technology companies and institutions to sign up for the election: in terms of technology, it covers popular tracks such as large models, AI computing, embodied intelligence, spatial computing, and multimodal interactionIn terms of scenarios, there are also mainstream AI application fields such as AIGC, autonomous driving, smart terminals, finance, e-commerce, logistics, security, and content communities.
The founders and CEOs of leading domestic AI leading companies such as Tencent Cloud, SenseTime, Megvii, 4Paradigm, Kunlun Wanwei, and Momenta are also on the 2023 TOP 30 AI Leaders.
No matter how drastic the technological trends are, the essence is still driven by people. Since returning to China in 2017 to establish Velvet, Ye Shenghui has been committed to empowering marketing and sales operations with technology, and helping consumer enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency with digital technology.
For AI, Ye Shengxuan has his own "endgame thinking". He thinksWhether it's Discriminative AI a few years ago or Generative AI today, it's essentially a tool built to solve problems. But before you can fix the problem, you must first find the problem.
This kind of "end-game thinking" has also been guiding the direction of development. Ye Shengxuan previously said,The most important thing in B2B is to prioritize performance and provide value to customers, and that value needs to be quantified. Using technology as a lever, Velvet helps enterprises solve three problems through AI: first, standardized operation;The second is data collection and analysis;The third is to bring growth through content empowerment sales.
Taking standardized operations as an example, in the past, the standardization of enterprises was written on thousands of pages of SOPs;Now, standardized operations can be achieved with cameras and AI. Ye Shenghui believes that standardized operation is the cornerstone of sustainable development and replicable expansion of enterprises, and to do a good job in standardized operation, we must first do a good job of inspection.
For example, in a car wash scenario, a car service brand with 2,000 stores used to require hundreds or thousands of inspectors. But now, with the AI capabilities of Defiance, each store can individually capture the situation when there is a car in the store, instead of spending a lot of useless time looking at the situation when there is no car. Even for the number of times the staff wipes the car, the time it takes, and whether each step of the operation is standardized, there is no need to manually inspect the car through time-consuming and labor-consuming inspection. This alone can save 60% of the time it used to be through AI inspections.
In addition to the inspection process itself, AI can also automatically collect and analyze various offline data such as store labels and customer flow changes, and even conduct data changes to better feed the operation strategy and realize the standardized operation of the store.
In addition, Valex believes that sales is the most important part of the whole marketing process. Therefore, it is particularly important to empower terminal front-line clerks and shopping guides. For example, a car salesperson is often asked by customers about various product parameters, performance comparisons, etc., and even if the salesperson can remember various data and details, he will inevitably encounter customers who ask more different questions. Through the AI knowledge base, sales can quickly retrieve all the brand information of the enterprise and answer customers' questions in a timely manner.
At present, with self-developed AGI technology and years of consumer brand service practice, Whale has created an enterprise-level AGI toolkit Alivia designed for marketing and sales, and at the same time, it has created a global enterprise-level platform service system based on Alivia: Whale Spacesight, which is applied to digital store operation and management, and Whale Harbor, which is used in digital content marketing , and the Whale Echo for intelligent voice services in stores.
Based on a strong enterprise-level AI technology base, at present, Versolance has served 1000+ leading brand customers at home and abroad, of which the market share in the automotive industry is about 50%, the market share in the catering industry is 35%, the market share in the home furnishing industry is 30%, and the market share in the advertising and marketing industry is 100%, and the overall market share in the first half of 2023 is 100% higher than the same period last year.
Just as qubit evaluation, these batches of AI leading companies are becoming the "wave makers" in the latest technology trends, constantly exporting new technologies and new solutions to the industry, pushing the AI boom to new heights. We will also continue to explore the application scenarios and customer needs of AI in the marketing field to help more brands continue to succeed in the AI era.
