About Noti Intelligent

KnowDee Intelligence, officially launched in December 2021, operates as a cognitive and decision-making artificial intelligence enterprise strategically incubated by the Lenovo Group. The company was established as a spin-off from Lenovo's AI Lab, a testament to the technology's maturity and market readiness, with the entire development team transitioning to the new entity to ensure continuity and deep expertise.

The firm was founded by Dr. Hu Changjian, who serves as the CEO. Dr. Hu possesses a profound background in both artificial intelligence and manufacturing, holding a Ph.D. in Mechanical and Automation from the prestigious Tsinghua University. His 20-year career has been dedicated to this intersection, including his role as the Senior Director of the AI Lab at Lenovo Research, making him a pivotal figure in the development of the company's core technology. The role of Chairman is held by Dr. Rui Yong, Lenovo Group's CTO and Senior Vice President, whose extensive experience includes an 18-year tenure at Microsoft, where he served as the Deputy Managing Director of Microsoft Research Asia. This leadership duo provides a unique blend of deep technical knowledge and high-level corporate strategy.

KnowDee Intelligence is focused on the "AI + Manufacturing" sector, aiming to drive digital transformation and operational efficiency for industrial clients. The company's principal offering is its proprietary industry-specific large model, named "Pivot" (支点 in Chinese). This platform is not a general-purpose AI but has been meticulously trained on Lenovo's vast, multi-decade dataset from the 3C (Computer, Communication, and Consumer Electronics) manufacturing sector. The Pivot model offers capabilities across the entire manufacturing value chain, including R&D, production, supply chain management, sales, and customer service. It provides solutions such as a conversational AI system for global customer service, a holographic knowledge management platform to turn experimental data into reusable assets, and a decision-making platform to help teams make scientific choices. For instance, its supply chain intelligence can monitor thousands of risk factors in real-time to prevent disruptions.

The company's business model is centered on providing tangible value, primarily through private deployment of its models to ensure data security for its enterprise clients. A noteworthy aspect of its strategy is the inclusion of performance-based billing, where fees are tied to the results and efficiencies delivered to the customer, aligning the company's success with that of its clients. KnowDee has already attracted a portfolio of nearly 100 manufacturing clients, including prominent names like CATL and Sanyuan Milk, demonstrating the applicability of its solutions. This traction is supported by a significant Pre-A funding round of nearly CNY 100 million, co-led by Wu Yue Feng Technology (武岳峰科创) with participation from existing shareholder Lenovo Group, which will fuel the further development of the Pivot model and market expansion.
