Yiwise (一知智能) is the commercial brand used by Hangzhou Yizhi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (杭州一知智能科技有限公司), a Hangzhou-based enterprise AI company that states it was established in August 2017 and that it operates from multiple Hangzhou locations as well as an office address in Guangzhou’s Haizhu District near Pazhou; it positions its core business around multimodal human–computer interaction and AIGC for marketing and sales scenarios, and external financing coverage has described it historically as a human–machine voice interaction and dialogue-technology SaaS provider serving enterprise outreach and member operations across channels such as phone and messaging. Public reports and company announcements indicate the firm disclosed an angel round in September 2017 and a Series A round in July 2018, and multiple business outlets reported it completed a Series B round announced in June 2022 as “over RMB 100 million,” naming Kaitai Capital (凯泰资本), Yilian Kaitai (亿联凯泰), and CITIC Securities Investment (中信证券投资) as investors and describing the intended use of proceeds as algorithm development, product upgrades, team expansion, and new business exploration; these figures are reported at the round level and do not provide an auditable, continuously updated “total funding” number. The company identifies Chen Zheqian (陈哲乾) as founder and CEO and has been featured in regional media profiles that describe his background in Zhejiang University’s AI and dialogue research ecosystem, while references to national television coverage appear primarily through company-linked materials and should be treated as company-promoted media exposure unless verified directly through broadcaster records.
Within the digital-human domain, Yiwise markets an “Yashi” (芽势) digital human line and related digital-human services as part of its broader AI marketing and “AI MCN” narrative, describing a workflow for producing human-like virtual presenters for short video and livestream use and positioning these assets as tools for always-on brand operations rather than entertainment-first VTuber culture. Its product pages describe capabilities such as generating a digital human from short source video, offering selectable or cloned voices, and synchronizing speech with facial and mouth movement for scripted or interactive presentations, alongside a dialogue layer intended for customer engagement and task handling in commerce and service settings; these are product claims presented by the company and are not accompanied by independent benchmark disclosures. The company also promotes a “Taiyi” (太一) model branding and industry-oriented data accumulation to support vertical marketing dialogues, and it frames its digital humans as a front-end embodiment for those underlying speech and language systems, aimed at scenarios like livestream hosting, content production, lead handling, and member reactivation across retail and local services, with additional sector examples presented in marketing materials for finance, education, automotive, and export-facing business.
For trust and compliance messaging around digital-human deployment, Yiwise advertises enterprise-grade security controls and lists items such as MLPS Level 3 and ISO management-system certifications on its product and corporate pages, but without publicly accessible certificate identifiers and issuing-body verification these should be read as company-stated credentials rather than independently confirmed attestations. Third-party event records provide limited, concrete public touchpoints in the digital-human commercialization context, including an April 2023 listing stating the company confirmed participation as an exhibitor at the FBIF food innovation expo held in Shenzhen in June 2023, and official GAITC 2025 conference materials stating the 2025 Global AI Technology Conference would be held in Hangzhou on June 7–8, 2025 and that its program included enterprise speakers; beyond these event confirmations, most detailed assertions about digital-human performance, adoption scale, specific customer rosters, and quantified cost savings appear in the company’s own promotional narratives and should be treated as such unless corroborated by customer disclosures, audited case studies, or regulated filings.
