2024年夏末，跃然创新创始人李勇的办公室里，2亿元A轮融资协议刚落定。这比三年前他濒临破产时的窘境，恍若隔世。 这位前天猫精灵合伙人曾在2017年满怀信心地将公司定位为AI入口级产品，计划三年内让AI助手成熟。 但现实是，三年3000万台出货量没能成为核心入口，团队遭遇严重库存危机，连员工工资都快发不出。 2022年底ChatGPT横空出世，成为转折点。李勇和联合创始人高峰在奥森公园的长椅上聊了一夜，决定彻底转型。“儿童用户对AI的包容性很高，”李勇说，“一个四岁孩子和玩具对话，哪怕答非所问又怎样？”他们看中毛绒玩具的天然优势：全球销量前十品牌无一来自中国，且在儿童认知里“会说话”合情合理。 没实物模型时，投资人大多摇头。直到在深圳，红杉中国的高秉强听完一小时介绍就拍板：“大模型最先落地的场景必定是儿童硬件，这就是理想载体。”当天签约，首笔资金到账，不仅解决了欠薪，更让团队喘了口气。 首款产品BubblePal本只想备货2000台，首日目标卖50台就行，结果三天狂销1000台。这款能让玩偶“开口说话”的智能挂件，依托大模型实现角色扮演和连续对话，定价399元，2025年初已售25万台，销售额破亿。 现在，公司推出的CocoMate系列可拆卸模块更受欢迎。奥特曼IP款能模拟迪迦、赛罗的声音，还原角色世界观，799元的售价也不愁卖。李勇坦言，这背后是无数次工业设计打磨——纽扣还是三角形的形状，硅胶还是毛绒的材质，挂绳多长合适，每个细节都要开模修模，耗时数月。 不少A股上市玩具企业主动来谈合作，而非直接接入大模型。“这说明我们构建的不是单一技术优势，而是软硬件、IP运营的综合壁垒。”李勇说。 今年下半年，公司将战略转向成人市场。“头部毛绒玩具品牌20%面向儿童，80%的消费者是年轻人。”李勇透露，新品牌线已在研发，计划年内发布。他畅想的场景很具体：下班回家，偶像手办能模拟本人聊天，疲惫时智能玩偶能识别情绪给出回应，让冰冷的商品变成有温度的伙伴。 “我们是从悬崖边爬回来的公司。”李勇常对团队说。如今，这个曾被嘲笑“PPT项目”的公司，正用AI技术重新定义传统玩具。或许正如李勇所期待，这个赛道终将诞生AI时代的“泡泡玛特”——一个既懂孩子，也懂年轻人情绪的新物种。

So for more context: If you’re using Screen Studio to make videos on a consistent basis, the payoff is just SO MUCH higher than the $100 you pay for the yearly subscription. Let’s just say you have a similar product selling for $100 per year. You only need ONE sale to break even, and then all the rest of those are ROI positive. You could be making tens or even hundreds of thousands. Or you can just use OBS and a video editing software and do all the editing manually, but then you lose lots of time which IMO is worth much more than $100 per year. Also, just for the record, idk the og poster, nothing personal with the guy, I just don’t understand the cheap mindset. 🤷🏻♂️

Why are some people so cheap? 🤔 You want to make lots of money from your products but you cheap out when it comes to paying others who build something. The math is not mathing chat…
