The author shares business insights and practical experiences in the AI era, drawing from their e-commerce operations and major tech earnings reports.
- Personal Dividends & Slow Adoption: The author argues that a few hundred dollars a month for AI tools is insignificant compared to the value generated. The biggest AI 'bubble' is actually the slow adoption rate; most major tech companies are already achieving real cloud revenue and profit growth through AI.
- Traditional SaaS Disruption: Using their e-commerce business as an example, traditional SaaS subscriptions that previously cost tens of thousands annually have been replaced by customized AI systems for a few hundred dollars a month. Traditional software is expensive and rigid, unable to provide low-cost, scaled customization like AI.
- Deep User Understanding is Key: Comparing US and Chinese retail, the author notes many Chinese companies still focus on traffic and expansion rather than deeply understanding specific customer groups. The future of AI companies lies not in amassing the most users, but in delivering the best customized experience for the right users.
