Digital human MCN · Round-the-clock live commerce
Yowant (遥望科技), now Guangdong Yowant Technology Group (广东遥望科技集团有限公司, SZSE 002291), is a Foshan-based livestream e-commerce and influencer-marketing company. It began as Saturday (星期六), a women’s footwear brand founded in 2002 and listed in Shenzhen in September 2009. From late 2019 it moved to buy the Hangzhou internet-marketing firm Yaowang Network (遥望网络), taking full control in 2021; in December 2022 it was renamed Foshan Yowant Technology (佛山遥望科技股份有限公司) and spun off its footwear business to concentrate on livestream commerce across Douyin, Kuaishou, Taobao and WeChat Channels (Xinhua, Securities Times). It took its current group name in August 2025.
Its digital-human work came with that pivot. In April 2022 it introduced the virtual digital human Kong Xiang (孔襄) and promoted “twin anchor” (孪生主播) technology for livestreams. In May 2023 it joined Xiaoice’s (小冰) “GPT Clone Human” programme, which builds AI clones of hosts from a few minutes of data, with basic versions priced from about ¥8,000. In 2024 its Yaowang Cloud AIOS (遥望云AIOS) applied large models to product selection, sales forecasting, matching hosts with brands, and compliance checks. Coverage at the time still treated digital hosts as a cost-saving tool alongside human anchors rather than a replacement for them.
