I started by using AI in my own small business. When I began sharing what worked online, I realized how much people need it in their daily work.
Now I help business owners and teams put AI to work.
200+ business owners have tested what I teach
Bilingual AI tutorials on RedNote, Bilibili, YouTube and Instagram
Hosted AI panels and events with ByteDance and Google Cloud
What I keep seeing
My friends run businesses. Most of them have no idea what things cost in China.
1The prices are public, on 1688, China's wholesale marketplace.
2But it's all in Chinese, spread across several platforms.
3Checking one product can take 20 minutes, so most people never do.
A huge opportunity. Just not convenient.
What I believe
You don't need an app for millions of people. You need a tool for you.
Models like Kimi are now powerful enough that anyone can build small tools, custom-made for their own business. It's not rocket science. That's the real power of AI.
Every team, and every person, should have their own AI tools.
Here's one we built in an afternoon
Factory to Shelf.
Photograph a product. See what the factory charges, and what it sells for, with the real listing behind every number.
Built with Kimi K3
Before we scan it
What does the factory charge for this?
Shout a number. Singapore dollars, one unit.
Let's find out
One photo.
Kimi reads the photo
1688 searches its factories by image
Google Lens finds the same item on Amazon Singapore and US
Kimi decides which matches are the same product
The tool itself runs on my own laptop. Every number on the next slides comes from a real scan of this photo.

The factory number is a reference for negotiating, not a price you can buy at. After landed cost it's still the whole business.
The brain behind it
Meet Kimi K3.
The AI model from Moonshot AI. In this tool, Kimi does the two jobs that need judgement.
SEES
Reads a photo directly. No typing, no description.

Reasons before it answers, and we choose how hard it thinks.

How it's built
A few API calls. One moment of reasoning.

Kimi K3 reads the photo
What it is, its material, and the details that separate it from look-alikes.

03 · JUDGE
Kimi K3 decides what's the same
Every listing and its photo, compared with yours: same, similar or different, with a reason.
The only hard step

Where the intelligence sits
It shows its work.
The honest version
What it costs, and where it breaks.
~75sper scan, while it searches three marketplaces
~US$0.11per scan in API calls
—listings checked for this scan
Branded goods have no honest factory listing.
Very generic items (a plain mug) find look-alikes, not the same product.
Amazon Singapore is mostly imported stock, so it's an import price.
What this really shows
It's not rocket science.
