The startup has attracted investments from prominent Chinese internet company Tencent and other backers.
Headquartered in Shanghai, the company, which Lin announced on social media, aims to develop next-generation AI agents that operate seamlessly across both digital and physical domains.
Leading the funding round are Gaorong Ventures and HSG, with participation from Tencent and the Shanghai Engine Fund, a government-backed investment entity.
The company’s focus areas include the development of digital agents, physical agents, and the translation of research into practical products, with an emphasis on long-term advancements.
Digital agents are designed for knowledge-intensive work and industrial processes, while physical agents are intelligent systems capable of environmental adaptation, taking actions, and completing tasks in the physical world.
