Yiwise (一知智能), registered as Hangzhou Yizhi Intelligent Technology (杭州一知智能科技有限公司), is a Hangzhou AI company founded in August 2017 by Chen Zheqian (陈哲乾), who came out of Zhejiang University’s AI and dialogue research. It began as a voice-interaction and dialogue SaaS provider for enterprise phone and messaging outreach, raising an angel round in September 2017, a Series A in July 2018 and, in June 2022, a Series B of over ¥100 million from Kaitai Capital (凯泰资本), Yilian Kaitai (亿联凯泰) and CITIC Securities Investment.
In 2023 it launched its Yashi (芽势) digital humans, presented at a Xiaoshan digital-trade product launch in November 2023 (Xinhua Finance): a presenter is cloned from three to five minutes of green-screen video and about four hours of training, then hosts livestreams and short videos and converses with viewers. By December 2024 Hangzhou media described digital humans as the company’s second growth engine (Hangzhou.com.cn), and Zhejiang Daily profiled its digital-human hosts during the 2024 Double 11 shopping festival.
Its Taiyi (太一) model, trained for marketing and sales dialogue, sits behind these presenters and passed Zhejiang’s generative-AI service filing in 2026. In April 2026 Xinhua featured its “digital employees” keeping livestream rooms selling through the night while their human staff slept.
