Your Judgment Is Being Repriced, but Nobody Is Telling You
In the Next Two Years, 90% of AI Companies Will Die
"
The experience you have accumulated over a lifetime, the pitfalls you have stepped into, the intuition you have trained—for the first time, these can leave your physical body and become permanent assets that make money 24 hours a day.
And what accomplishes all of this is an AI digital-expert marketplace called Profy (袋袋).
The AI applications on Profy are digital experts that can carry KPIs, deliver outcomes, and take responsibility for mistakes. They have names, domains, temperaments and their own working styles. They are always online, always stable, and will never mess up a project because they are in a bad mood.
Naming them is Futureform Intelligence—a team spun out of Alibaba DAMO Academy. After three years of relentless focus on the Agent race, on May 19, 2026, it threw this bombshell to the world: the global first AI expert marketplace.
The transaction logic here is hiring experts, and the payment standard is outcome delivery. Monthly fees range from tens to hundreds of RMB, directly covering the core work of human experts earning 300,000 to 3,000,000 RMB a year.
What You Have Always Wanted Is Not the Expert's Hands, but Their Brain
Yang Jinsong, founder of Futureform Intelligence, once said something piercing:
What Profy replaces is the complete closed loop of "expert + tool + process + judgment."
A genuinely valuable expert is never expensive because they "know how to use Excel" or "know how to write PPT." They are expensive because:
While others are still looking at data, they can already smell the risk
With three options on the table, they can intuitively call the right one
They know what can be done and what must never be touched
Having stepped into a hundred pitfalls, they can help you avoid the hundred-and-first
They can carry responsibility, provide fallback, and be accountable for the final result
This combination of tacit experience + explicit action + continuous judgment + outcome delivery is the true core value of an expert. It is also the scarce resource that, for thousands of years, could only be attached to a physical body—un复制, un传承, unscaleable.
What Profy does is digitize this entire system.
A cross-border compliance expert automatically reviews documents, runs risk control and issues warnings, with 99.8% accuracy; an e-commerce marketing expert writes copy, produces assets and optimizes ad spending, improving ROI by 30%; a finance and tax expert automatically files taxes, keeps books and screens for risks, with zero errors; an investment due-diligence expert does industry research, data verification and conclusion output, delivering in 3 days what originally took 3 weeks—one person equals a whole team.
Why an "Expert Marketplace"?
For AI to land, the first barrier is not technology—it is "can you account by outcomes."
This is the fatal weakness of all general-purpose large models. You buy a GPT membership, write 100 pieces of copy, and in the end not a single conversion happens—OpenAI will not refund you a penny. You use various AI tools, produce a pile of reports, and in the end the data is wrong and the company gets fined—the tool vendor will not take any responsibility.
But expert services are different.
Cross-border compliance: look at pass rate, return rate, fine rate
E-commerce marketing: look at ROI, conversion rate, GMV
Finance and tax: look at accuracy rate, compliance risk, tax-filing timeliness
Due diligence: look at conclusion quality, error rate, delivery cycle
Outcomes are quantifiable, value is priceable.
Intuitively, this seems like a race anyone can run. But once you actually run it, you discover that 99% of people will die halfway.
Because the barrier is never the front-end chat interface, but the back-end industrialized production capability. Being able to turn one expert into a digital expert does not mean you can turn ten thousand experts into digital experts stably, efficiently and at low cost. Being able to deliver outcomes in one scenario does not mean you can maintain a 90%+ delivery success rate across a hundred scenarios.
This is Profy's most ruthless edge. It did not rush to grab consumer traffic. Instead, it spent three years first, in the B2B battlefield, polishing the "production line" for digital experts to perfection.
Profy (袋袋) = The Expert's Digital Clone
It is a direct encapsulation of expert experience. It is another expert.
The expert only needs to chat with Profy, explaining their methodology, cases, red lines and preferences clearly
The system automatically captures the tacit knowledge that even the expert themselves cannot articulate, generating a dedicated decision tree
Upon going live, it already has complete industry cognition, expert style and judgment logic
It continuously learns, continuously iterates, and gets more accurate the more it is used
A base model needs you to tell it what to do. Profy itself is the expert—it just does it.
Lingda Builds the Factory, Profy Opens the Market
Lingda is the intelligent manufacturing factory for digital labor; Profy is the hiring marketplace for digital experts. Lingda is responsible for "making"; Profy is responsible for "using."
This is Futureform Intelligence's most formidable moat—B2B first, then C2C, a dimensionality-reduction strike.
Before Profy launched, Futureform Intelligence had already used the Lingda platform to serve 120+ leading enterprises, covering energy, finance, high-end manufacturing and other sectors. On real commercial battlefields, they polished Agent technology for three years and accumulated massive industry experience and data.
While others were still researching how to make an Agent "look like an expert," Futureform Intelligence had already solved how to make ten thousand experts "work like an expert." While others were still struggling with the success rate of a single Agent, Futureform Intelligence had already achieved assembly-line production of digital experts.
Now, they have taken these enterprise-validated, already-proven expert capabilities, turned them into "finished products," and put them on the Profy marketplace—so that small teams and individual users can buy and use them as easily as shopping in a supermarket.
While others are still making Demos in the lab, Futureform Intelligence has already put industrially produced digital employees on the shelf.
3 Hours to Turn Yourself into a Permanent Asset
How does an expert become a Profy? The answer: zero barrier, just chat.
You do not need to know how to write prompts, you do not need to understand technology, you do not need to train models. You only need to know how to chat.
Profy expert rapid onboarding flow:
1. Experience input: chat with Profy for 3–5 hours, talking about your methodology, successful cases, pitfalls you have stepped into, and red lines that must never be crossed
2. Tacit-knowledge capture: the system automatically提炼 rules, judgment nodes and decision logic, turning what is in your head into code
3. Digital expert encapsulation: generate a dedicated Profy with exactly the same way of thinking and working style as you
4. Testing and calibration: small-scale trial use—you only need to say "right" or "wrong" to the results, and the system automatically corrects
5. Formal listing: global users can hire you, and you receive continuous revenue sharing
Gong Qiong, founder of Linghang International Brand Management Group, has been deeply engaged in international PR and brand globalization for over 20 years and formerly served as head of international PR for the Beijing Winter Olympics. She hasaccumulated all of her brand-going-global methodology—honed serving the Olympics and Fortune 500 companies—into her own digital expert.
Now, those small and medium cross-border enterprises that in the past could not afford million-level consulting fees can hire her digital clone for tens of RMB, obtaining full-chain guidance from brand positioning and overseas communication to compliance and risk control.
After users with going-global ambitions are struck by the sharp intuition of Gong Qiong's digital clone on Profy, they go on to solve more complex, personalized problems by directly finding Gong Qiong herself through the Profy platform and signing deeper customized full-case analysis.
Finally: What Kind of AI Will Survive?
In the next two years, 90% of AI companies will die.
Those that will be directly eaten by large models:
Shell tools without proprietary data, scenarios or workflows
General writing, general assistants, general Q&A
Products that depreciate immediately with a single OpenAI update
Those that will grow stronger and ultimately become giants:
Closed-loop platforms of vertical domain + expert experience + outcome delivery
Products that digitize, assetize and marketize human judgment
Scenario flywheels where more use brings more data, more data brings more accuracy, and more accuracy brings more value
Yang Jinsong, founder of Futureform Intelligence, says:
To judge whether an AI product has a future, look at one question: when large models get stronger, are you replaced, or are you amplified?
Profy belongs to the latter. The stronger the large model, the smarter and more valuable the digital experts on Profy become.
From day one, it has aimed to be a better "amplifier of people." It lets one expert do the work of a hundred experts simultaneously. It lets ordinary people afford the top expert teams that in the past only Fortune 500 companies could have.
When judgment can circulate independently, when everyone's expertise can be infinitely amplified—the next decade of AI truly begins.
