Beijing Lingxin Intelligent Technology

Beijing Lingxin Intelligent Technology, established in November 2021, operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and mental wellness. The company emerged as a commercial spin-off from Tsinghua University's computer science department, founded by Professor Huang Minlie. Professor Huang, a tenured faculty member at Tsinghua specializing in natural language processing, was driven to create the company after a personal experience highlighted the potential for AI to provide mental health support. His academic background in dialogue systems forms the technical bedrock of the company's offerings.

The firm focuses on creating 'hyper-anthropomorphic' large models, which are AI systems designed to be controllable, configurable, and human-like. The core of its business is the development of AI companions, or 'AGI Companions', that possess both emotional and social intelligence. This technology is engineered to understand not just language, but also human emotion and intent. The business model involves providing these advanced AI systems to both individual consumers and enterprise clients. For businesses, Lingxin offers its technology through three primary service models: an open API for easy integration, a cloud-based private deployment, and a full on-premises installation of the model and code for large-scale enterprises.

Lingxin's product portfolio is centered around its proprietary large models, such as the CharacterGLM. One of its initial public-facing products was "AI Utopia," a platform allowing users to create and interact with customized AI characters by providing simple descriptions. The system is designed to facilitate deep, persona-consistent conversations. Beyond general chat, the company has developed specific applications, including the Emohaa emotional healing robot, which was created in partnership with the mental health platform "Good Mood." Lingxin has also collaborated with automotive brand Beyonca to develop an intelligent in-car assistant. The technology serves B2B clients in sectors like gaming, marketing, and emotional support, which have shown significant commercial interest.
