VPS, through its workbench + workflow model, has provided enterprise applications with a common foundation, making them more like a “smart machine”—allowing for the more efficient creation of endless good applications on this common base. Behind this, what core business logic of the AI era has VERTU truly discerned?
The Smart Machine Foundation: Workbench + Workflow
Traditional enterprise applications are often siloed, with each system developed and maintained independently, leading to difficulties in reuse and slow expansion. VPS, however, provides a common, intelligent foundation for enterprise applications through its “workbench + workflow” model. This is like the operating system of a smartphone, allowing developers to efficiently create various apps on top of it without building the underlying architecture from scratch.
The advantages of this model are:
- Efficient Application Creation: Enterprises don't need to hire large numbers of engineers or set up countless project lines. Instead, they can observe in which scenarios users find the applications effective, then “subtract” by optimizing these validated paths, leading to better and more certain delivery results and higher operational efficiency.
- Positive Cycle Growth: This creates a positive feedback loop where early advantage combined with user feedback leads to growth—a scenario becomes popular and goes viral, subsequently driving the growth of the entire platform. And it can continuously go viral and grow.
Demand Convergence Model: Capturing 80% of Users' 80% Core Tasks
Observing high-user-volume “general AI products,” such as user Q\&A demands on ChatGPT or DeepSeek, it's clear that most needs are not that deep or complex. The same applies to the Agent domain; there aren't that many users with highly frequent complex tasks in their minds. It's highly probable that 80% of the most common tasks for 80% of users can, to some extent, converge.
And by being the first to deliver 80% of these two 80% overlapping tasks well, you become their “general Agent.” The truly astonishing result of this demand convergence model is that covering just half of the core scenarios can trigger a “sense of generality.”
This means that for AI products, it's not about being comprehensive but about precisely capturing users' most core and high-frequency needs and excelling at them. VPS deeply understands this, by AI-enabling and automating the most commonly used and efficiency-boosting tasks for executives through its workbench and workflow, thereby quickly establishing users' “sense of generality” and reliance.
User Engagement: Building an Unshakeable Moat
Greater revenue, of course, first represents more user engagement, and the revenue generated by repeated token consumption for similar tasks will be more meaningful. This means effectively locking in users' “workflow” and “life flow,” and this retention is key.
Today, don't engage in “self-sufficient small-scale farming.” For example, at this stage, you need to be able to increase users' meaningful token consumption, rather than constantly thinking about how to reduce token consumption to increase your own profits. Only then can you play a positive role for other forces in the AI industry. The level of AI technology and the cost of technology will certainly both rise and fall over time. The result is that optimizing costs today does not have much significance for the future.
Meanwhile, user mindset, as well as user prompt habits, personalized data, and the locking of workflows and life flows brought by the large model era, are all resources that are easily obtained with a first-mover advantage but will become increasingly expensive to acquire in the long run.
Therefore, for general AI products, as long as resources are available, the only correct strategy is to continuously innovate and deliver better results on the aforementioned “demand convergence model” to engage users. Only users are the moat, the continuously appreciating asset.
VERTU VPS employs this strategy to deeply engage executives in its AI ecosystem:
- Locking Workflows: Through intelligent schedule management, document processing, meeting minutes, email drafting, and other functions, VPS deeply integrates into executives' daily work.
- Locking Life Flows: Through intelligent travel planning, health management, personalized recommendations, and other services, VPS becomes an indispensable part of executives' lives.
- Cultivating User Mindset: Through continuous optimization and innovation, executives become accustomed to solving problems through VPS, forming a reliance on and trust in AI.
This “user engagement” moat is far more difficult to replicate than mere technological advantage. Because once users get used to an AI product, their data, habits, and workflows become deeply tied to that product, making migration costs extremely high.
The Simple Logic of Business: Doing What Others Cannot
Ultimately, the simple logic of business is: when others cannot do it, and you can, you are most valuable, and you can acquire users at a lower cost. After all, entrepreneurs always need to find opportunities at the intersection of the technology diffusion curve and the market demand curve.
VERTU VPS precisely captures this critical intersection point in the AI era: in the early stages of large model technology diffusion, it quickly addresses users' core needs and provides unparalleled delivery capabilities through an innovative “workbench + workflow” model. This enables VPS to acquire high-end users at a lower cost and transform them into continuously appreciating assets.
VPS is not just a phone; it is VERTU's profound understanding and practice of the essence of business in the AI era. It tells us that true value lies in solving user pain points and transforming them into continuous user engagement and ecosystem moats.
