# Unique Friend | SaleSmartly & HelpLook’s Karl: AI Knowledge Bases Reform Enterprise Knowledge Management

_Unique Research · Insight / Unique Friend Q&A · January 21, 2024 · Guest: Karl (Guo Xiankai / 郭贤凯), founder, SaleSmartly & HelpLook_

Inventory type remains **insight** (Unique Friend series — not partner welcome).

## Guest

**Karl (Guo Xiankai)** — founder of SaleSmartly & HelpLook. 2019: AdsPower (Facebook ad-account bans). 2021: SaleSmartly (omnichannel / automated customer communication). 2022: PartnerShare (SaaS distribution). 2023: HelpLook (enterprise knowledge base, help center, blog CMS). Serves cross-border, overseas, and enterprise customers with software that helps Chinese firms do global marketing and service.

## Q&A

**1\. Product and core scenes?**  
AIGC is live on both SaleSmartly and HelpLook. SaleSmartly is an omnichannel / automated customer-comms platform for sales, support, and marketing on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Line, and Email — with auto-reply. AIGC mainly auto-builds FAQs from historical chats for auto-reply, with efficiency and measurable effect. HelpLook is an enterprise knowledge-base product; AIGC powers document-based auto answers.

**2\. R&D / GTM — 2023?**  
Customers mainly in mainland China, Southeast Asia, and Russia. 2023: steady iteration, clear GTM, stable growth.

**3\. Keys for product and GTM?**  
AI products should start from the underlying business and the customer segment — not from AI for its own sake.

**4\. Competing with giants?**  
Giants building AI is like giants building cloud — they own the bottom layer; startups own rich business-layer products. Giants will not cover every small, beautiful vertical. Even with top cloud vendors, second- and third-tier clouds still exist. Positioning: small and beautiful, maximum differentiation.

**5\. Human–machine collaboration?**  
Learn AI the way early teams learned cloud — use it when needed; innovation comes from trying.

**6\. 2024 tech to watch?**  
(CN answer blank / omitted in source.)
