During Meitu’s 17th anniversary event, founder Wu Xinhong recounted the remarkable journey of the company’s AI-powered application, RoboNeo. Since its introduction, the app has captured widespread interest, achieving a milestone of over 1 million monthly active users (MAU) within its first month and securing a top-ten position in app store categories across numerous countries. Wu Xinhong attributes this success to Meitu’s adoption of a startup-like approach, highlighting the importance of becoming an ‘AI-native organization’ and encouraging all staff members to harness AI tools. By embedding AI into critical operational areas and establishing an ‘AI Innovation Studio’ framework, Meitu has fostered an environment conducive to rapid innovation. This strategic organizational shift and the implementation of an AI tool utilization system have played a pivotal role in RoboNeo’s swift market adoption.
