Unique Research · Insight / Unique Friend Q&A · October 11, 2024 · Guest: CEO, MyTwins.ai
Product / scenes: (1) Digital-twin short video — helps knowledge professionals produce short video efficiently; strong fit in healthcare and education. (2) Digital-twin live commerce — stand in for human hosts with in-house host-narration models, LLM real-time replies, and interaction handoff — cost and efficiency for merchants and creators. (3) Digital life — 1:1 real-time interactive digital humans; today mainly offline large-screen Q&A; longer vision is everyone’s real-time interactive twin, with twins that can talk to each other.
GenAI impact on design / GTM / pricing: (Q2 left blank in CN source — no invented answer.)
Tech lead — three bets: (1) Keep heavy investment on core tech — human visual modeling and personalized language models. (2) Focus verticals — e-commerce, healthcare, education; go deep. (3) Accumulate data as a barrier.
Ecosystem: Build vs buy decided on effect, cost, and ROI — prioritize experience quality; partner where that wins.
Challenges / markets: Core products already have solid landing proof and results; the growth edge for a product/tech company is still scaled sales/BD. Domestic competition is intense (“involution”); willingness to pay still trails overseas — but after a year of exploration, AI is solving real customer problems and pay willingness is rising.
2024 watch: On-device compute — cloud cost is high; need edge to bring total cost down. Visual foundation models — many labs moving fast; need a mature, commercializable version that actually works in production.
