36Kr learned that Hangzhou Juyi Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Juyi Intelligence") recently completed a nearly ten - million - yuan Pre - A round of financing. The investor is Xuntu Capital. This round of financing will be mainly used for technology deepening and national market expansion.
Beijing, January 19, 2026 —— Zhang Jin, the pioneer of China's "Intelligence + Manufacturing Industry" and the founder of Hao Taotai Intelligent Security Door, announced today that his self - developed "Ant AI Intelligent Agent Customer Acquisition and Conversion Integrated Model" has completed a nearly ten - million - yuan Series A financing. The investor is Xuntu Capital. This round of financing will be used for technology deepening and national market expansion. The company plans to officially launch large - scale promotion in February 2026, aiming to empower one million merchants to achieve full - process automation of customer acquisition and conversion.
From Traditional Manufacturing to AI Innovation: The "Game - Changer" with Six Years of Accumulation
Zhang Jin has been deeply involved in the intelligent hardware field for many years. In 2019, Hao Taotai Intelligent Security Door, founded by him, quickly signed up with more than 200 agents within six months thanks to its innovative technology and channel explosive power. It was reported by many media such as Tianjin TV and Jilin TV, setting a miracle of industry expansion. However, in 2025, affected by the macro - environment, the traditional business faced a bottleneck in profit growth.
"When serving customers, we found that 80% of small and medium - sized merchants are trapped by three major pain points: 'difficulty in content production, high customer acquisition cost, and long conversion chain'," Zhang Jin said. Based on in - depth insights into industry pain points, his team spent more than a year self - developing the Ant AI Intelligent Agent model and took the lead in implementing and testing it in internal business. Data shows that this model can increase customer acquisition efficiency by more than ten times and reduce labor costs by 90%, verifying the feasibility of the technology and the market.
Cross - industry Verification Yields Results: AI Intelligent Agent Becomes a New Growth Engine
To test the universality of the model, Zhang Jin's team replicated the Ant AI Intelligent Agent to enterprises in multiple industries such as catering, retail, beauty, and manufacturing. After a certain chain catering brand introduced it, the private - domain conversion rate increased by 68% and the customer acquisition cost decreased by 73% within three months. A certain retail merchant increased the production efficiency of short - video content by more than 20 times through the AI intelligent editing function. "From a single hardware to a full - link AI service, we have found the core secret to help merchants'reduce costs and increase efficiency'," Zhang Jin emphasized.
After more than a year of technological iteration, the Ant AI Intelligent Agent has formed four major modules: "intelligent editing - precise customer acquisition - private - domain conversion - data center", supporting full - process automation from content generation to customer conversion. Its adaptive learning ability can optimize strategies according to different industry characteristics, solving the pain point of traditional marketing tools that are "highly universal but weakly targeted".
Tens of Millions of Financing Injected: National Expansion to Begin in 2026
The partner of Xuntu Capital pointed out in the investment statement: "Zhang Jin's team has both in - depth experience in marketing and the ability to implement AI technology. The Ant AI Intelligent Agent directly addresses the real needs of small and medium - sized merchants, and its business model is clear and replicable. We are optimistic about its explosive potential in the 'AI + Marketing' track."
It is reported that after this round of financing, the Ant AI Intelligent Agent will focus on the East and South China markets and quickly penetrate through the "low - cost usage + industry solutions" model. Zhang Jin said: "In 2026, we will invest at least ten million yuan in product R & D, aiming to serve 100,000 merchants and make the AI intelligent agent the 'automated growth engine' for every merchant."
