🎙️ In today’s episode:
We explore three major developments from China’s fast-moving AI landscape:
- QQ Browser gets an AI glow-up: Tencent’s long-running browser, often seen as China’s answer to Chrome, has officially rebranded as an AI browser with the launch of QBot. Packed with features like article summaries, writing help, and document translation, it's turning everyday browsing into a smart productivity hub.
- AI short dramas: hype vs. reality: AI-generated sci-fi shorts are trending in China — but creators say it’s harder than it looks. Between glitchy visuals and clunky storytelling, most projects fall short of Hollywood-grade. We break down what’s working and what’s not.
- Navigation meets wearables: Amap partners with AR glasses maker Rokid to unveil NaviAgent — the world’s first AI navigation assistant built for smart glasses. It’s hands-free, voice-enabled, and built for the road ahead.
Whether you’re building, investing, or just curious — this episode unpacks where China’s digital edge is heading and what it means for the world.
