HKUST(GZ) Official Profile

I spoke with HKUST(GZ) about returning to university after working as a product manager at IDEA and JD.com, and co-founding Yuanhuo Technology during the Red Bird M.Phil. program.

We discussed how our AI companion products developed—from AI Xinqing to TATA AI and AICORUMI—and what I learned from building products alongside my studies.
