Chapter 41 Promotion Methods

came up with this idea, Lu Yuan immediately modified it according to his own idea, first adjusted the voice assistant's voice, and deliberately modulated it to a younger girl's state, of course, not everyone likes this sound, so there is still an option to turn off "Coco", replace it with a more calm male voice, and support self-setting naming.

But having a good idea doesn't mean you have to get it all at once, a successful businessman will never be stupid enough to sell all the good things at once, but to learn from Intel and Apple, squeeze toothpaste every time to get something new, or even just add a new color, it's enough for the world to pay.

The idea of virtual idols, with the development of later technology, can be fully expanded, such as designing a real appearance, facing users with actual images, and adding many new features. If you can do this, just expanding the content update version at will is a big gimmick.

If it is further developed in the end, when artificial intelligence and hardware technology mature, everyone in the society can customize their own exclusive housekeepers, partners, friends, etc., this selling point is too big.

It took Lu Yuan a whole day to debug "Coco", and it was really difficult to decide what kind of voice he wanted to set "Coco".

In terms of his preferences, he naturally chooses a soft and cute tone, but considering that he wants to face the market, he can't use personal preferences as a benchmark, but think about the bottom line that many users can accept. Because of this, after a day of debugging, he adjusted the sound of "Coco" into a fresh and crisp, more lively girlish voice, this tone only needs to be heard, no matter what age group, it is easy to accept, so that the sound is too sticky and greasy.

"Sonny, looks like we're going to have to limit it......"

After he had really completed most of the work, listening to the anthropomorphic answer of "Coco", Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

All programmers and engineers in this world want their products to get better and better, and at this time, Lu Yuan actually had the idea that they must be restricted.

That's right, Lu Yuan really didn't expect that with the current level of hardware, he would make this junior AI, and after brushing into an ordinary mobile phone, it would still perform so well, to be honest, there is no problem with passing the Turing test at such a level. If it weren't for the fact that as a developer, you know that "Coco" is just an artificial intelligence, and if you are an ordinary person to test it in front of a computer, it is estimated that it is difficult to know that it is AI on the other side.

It is true that "Coco" still has some shortcomings, and ordinary people can't recognize her as AI when they test it without knowing it, but if you tell the computer in advance that an AI is mixed in, after careful comparison and careful observation, you can still find traces. However, this is appalling enough, Lu Yuan estimates that even if it is a product in IBM's top artificial intelligence laboratory, there is still a gap of two to three years from the technical level of "Coco".

With the current hardware technology, "Coco" has reached a level of inprogress with the support of new software algorithms, and at most it is functional improvement, which is very detrimental to future product launch plans, and the best way is to weaken the intelligence level of "Coco".

"The first step is to promote ...... At the same time, many samples are also tested. ”

After selecting the 20 most popular mobile phones on the current market and making a corresponding optimized flash package, Lu Yuan began to think about how to promote it.

Different from APP, the flashing package is larger and more complicated, and having a one-click flashing does not mean that most users are willing to flash, especially MIUI and Flyme, which occupy most of the market, are perfect enough, and users are less likely to be willing to try an unfamiliar flashing package.

It's really so stupid to upload the flashing package to various applications, flash markets and software, and wait for a few months, there may not be a few people to try, and the wine is afraid of deep alleys.

"You might consider finding him."

After a moment of deep silence, Lu Yuan gave up a few ideas for promotion and chose another way instead.

After all, he has been in the electronic product evaluation industry for two years, and there are many people in this industry who have come into contact with him, in addition to his boss, there is actually another person who has a larger fan base than his boss in a down-to-earth evaluation method.

Before this person set up a studio, Lu Yuan had contacted him a few times on the Internet, and the two sides were barely friends, if you asked this person to evaluate, as long as it was released on the Internet, the advertising effect would be much better than the methods he had thought of before.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked for his contact information, opened his chat window, and sent a message, "Are you there?" "The information passed.

In the past, Lu Yuan sent a message, and the speed of reply was quite fast, almost a few seconds later, but now after this person set up his own studio, he is obviously much busier than before, and a message has been sent, and there has been no response for half an hour.

Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, he was not busy with things on his side, and by the time the window vibrated and sent back the information, more than an hour had passed.

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"There's something I'd like you to help me with."

Lu Yuan stood in the distance and used a welding machine to weld work, and after hearing the sound from the Bluetooth headset, he replied casually.

When he answered, the voice was immediately transmitted to the computer, converted into text, and then automatically sent to the other party.

"What's the matter?"

The other party was silent for a minute before asking.

"I recently worked on a project with my friends and made some flashing packs, and I wanted you to test them out."

"Flashing the bag?"

The other party was obviously a little surprised, and immediately asked again: "Are there any characteristics?" ”

The words are more direct, and Lu Yuan is not an important friend of his, but there is not so much nonsense to greet, since he wants him to help, he goes straight to the point.

"A few of my friends and I are mainly researching artificial intelligence, and we have recently made some achievements, so we made a voice assistant and transplanted it to the mobile phone to test the ......"

"Why don't you come by yourself?"

"I've resigned."

"Does the voice assistant need to deliberately make a flashing package?"

"Different from the current voice assistant functions on the market, some functions cannot rely on APP, and must be realized at the system level."

As soon as this is said, it obviously makes the other party a little interested, logically speaking, although he is engaged in electronic product evaluation, but in the final analysis, in addition to the hardware aspect of electronic product evaluation, in fact, the most important thing is the system software, a good electronic product, no matter how powerful the hardware performance, there is no system software that is optimized to match, that is, waste, no one will want to give it away.

Since this is the case, then this flash package is not impossible to test, the other party was silent for a while, and said: "What kind of test do you want?" ”

"Can you be on video?"

"You're confident."

Lu Yuan understood why the other party would say this, and the studio that had achieved this level was no longer the one who used to make a small fuss and test the product as he wanted, and it was inevitable to select the product, if it was a worthless product, it would never be possible to test it on video.

As soon as Lu Yuan said the video, the other party immediately felt that Lu Yuan was very confident.

"It took my companion and me more than two years to make this product, and I think it's still worth a little bit of value for the last video."

Lu Yuan opened his mouth to talk nonsense, and the workload of a week became the result of two years of a team in his mouth.

But I have to say that this lie is still very heavy, and I heard that it took two years of hard work, no matter how much I don't care about it, the other party has to take some time to take a look.

"Okay, I'll test it if I have time, and if it's really valuable to be on the video, I don't want you to spend money on advertising."

The other party replied humorously, and then said, "You pass me something, or give me a download address." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

Lu Yuan turned off his headphones and shouted to the side, "Sonny, pass him the address." ”

A sentence without a beginning or an end, this is not a natural language that "Coco" can understand, and only Sonny, who has been monitoring all the traffic data, knows what is going on.
