Baifu Technology (百赋科技), founded in 2017 and based in Beijing, is an AI solution provider specializing in customizable enterprise services. It operates across several domains including AI software development, AI model training, AI unmanned livestream systems, short video matrix systems, and digital human systems. The company offers tools for fast creation and automated deployment of digital humans through products like the "Wukong Digital Human" and the "Zhihu AI Unmanned Broadcast System." These systems use advanced features such as lip-syncing, emotion mapping, and natural language interaction to produce real-time broadcasting, customer service, and marketing content. Baifu supports 3D modeling, immersive interactivity, and has built an ecosystem combining open-source tools with enterprise-level solutions. Their AI agents are used in industries like renovation, catering, e-commerce, finance, and education to enable low-cost content generation, IP branding, and customer acquisition.
Zhihu AI (智狐AI) is a Chinese business-focused digital human platform within Baifu Technology’s product portfolio, designed primarily for commercial communication rather than entertainment-oriented virtual beings. In the context of digital humans, it functions as a practical enterprise avatar system for automated livestreaming, AI-generated marketing video, digital sales presentation, and branded on-screen spokesperson use. Its role is to let companies deploy synthetic human presenters that can appear in promotional content, deliver product pitches, support ecommerce broadcasting, and extend customer-facing media output with less reliance on live human hosts. That places Zhihu AI on the operational, conversion-oriented side of the digital human sector, where digital humans are used as scalable business instruments for marketing, retail, and traffic generation rather than as standalone virtual influencer or VTuber personalities.
