In 2012, he joined Alibaba, where he was instrumental in developing recommendation algorithms for shopping intent mining and optimization. After leaving Alibaba in 2014, he founded Smartdot, an AI company that raised four funding rounds in its first year and focused on e-commerce solutions such as intelligent customer service.

Yet despite its early success, the platform now faces intensified competition as major tech firms enter the conversational AI market. [36Kr, in Chinese]
