Who am I:

• From the financial service industry 💰
• Speaker at China community day on Generative AI 🤖
• Session Topic: Building GenAI with empathy and human nature for the community 🤝

Highlight 3: Startups Solving Real-World Problems 🌍

• Chinese startups create valuable micro-service products for industry experts, senior workers, practitioners, and ISVs. 👨‍💻👩‍💻
• They provide value-added services and mini-applications for ordinary people to build something creative and amazing (e.g., game streaming, broadcasting). 🎮📽️
• Saas AI platforms with custom workflows for specific domain knowledge (e.g., healthcare - child caring worker). 🏥👶

Funny story 🤭
I once met a startup founder who created an AI-powered app that could detect when your pet was about to have an "accident" and would immediately alert you. The app was a huge hit with busy pet owners, and the founder became an overnight success!

Highlight 4: People Highly Contribute to the Community 🤝

• The Chinese environment is warm, relaxing, fun, and nice. Lots of meetups, hands-on workshops, and chalk chat experience sharing. 👥🎨
• People from any background and industry are welcome. Session topics cover startup culture, industry domain knowledge, and tech practices. 🏢🧠
• All-level developers are free to build something that has meaning, create experiences, and provide value to serve the community. 👨‍💻👩‍💻
• The subway and bus transport system is comfortable, and airfare is not expensive. People can easily go anywhere. 🚆🛩️

Funny story 😄
I once attended a community event where the organizers had set up a "GenAI Karaoke" station. Developers were taking turns trying to get the AI to generate the perfect lyrics to their favorite songs. The results were absolutely hilarious and had us all in stitches!

Experience: 🤯
I was amazed to learn about a Chinese startup that had created an AI assistant capable of writing poetry, composing music, and even painting abstract art. The founder proudly showed me a piece the AI had created, and I have to admit, it was actually quite beautiful and thought-provoking. The future of creativity is truly mind-blowing.

Overall🧠
the Chinese startup ecosystem is a wonderful, empowering, and joyful experience! 🎉 The combination of cutting-edge technology, entrepreneurial spirit, and community support is truly amazing. 🤩 I feel so grateful to be a part of this incredible journey.
