Tec-Do CEO Shuhao Li Outlines Trillion-Dollar AI for Work Opportunity at the 2026 WIC Wuzhen Summit

On November 4, Shuhao Li, Founder and CEO of Tec-Do, spoke at a summit sub-forum, sharing the technology and practical applications through which specialized models and AI agents can support global business growth. Other speakers included representatives from major technology companies and international organizations, including Qualcomm, JD.com, Xiaomi and the Arab Information and Communication Technologies Organization (AICTO).

 

From mobile internet connecting users to enterprise software reshaping workflows and AI supporting analysis, judgment and execution, digital technology is becoming more deeply embedded in business operations. Li said AI would bring changes comparable in scale to an industrial revolution, reshaping how individuals work, how enterprises organize production and how businesses are run. A key part of AI’s value, he noted, is enabling companies to explore more markets, test more strategies and generate more revenue with the same level of investment.

 

As a company applying models from the open-source ecosystem, Tec-Do builds on foundation models through specialized training that incorporates industry knowledge and business data. The company has served hundreds of thousands of brands, and its business spans more than 200 countries and regions. Li said open collaboration must connect with real industry needs, turning technological advances into practical tools that improve business productivity.

 

Discussing enterprise AI applications, or AI for Work, Li outlined a framework based on three major areas of business expenditure: marketing and sales, research and innovation, and business administration. These correspond to AI for Growth, AI for Innovation and AI for Administration, respectively. Marketing is directly linked to revenue and provides timely business feedback, making it an important setting in which Tec-Do validates AI’s impact on productivity.

 

“We focus exclusively on results-driven AI for Work,” Li said, describing Tec-Do’s strategic approach to commercial AI applications. Drawing on nearly a decade of global marketing experience, the company combines its proprietary Tec-Chi specialized models and Navos marketing agent with industry expertise, business data and AI execution capabilities. This approach helps businesses expanding internationally progress from market assessment and content creation to advertising optimization, with technology’s value measured in customer revenue, orders and returns on investment.

 

As the industry’s first Pro Agent, Navos Pro addresses businesses’ global growth needs through three core attributes: Professional, Proactive and Profitable. Professional focuses on understanding brands and business contexts, building dedicated knowledge bases and aligning strategies with company goals. Proactive continuously monitors changes in markets, advertising accounts and creative assets to identify growth opportunities and recommend actions. Profitable ties strategy, creative development and ad delivery to business metrics such as gross merchandise value (GMV) and return on investment (ROI). Through testing at scale, selecting effective strategies and continuous feedback, Navos Pro is designed to help AI move from completing tasks to generating business growth.

 

These capabilities also provide new support for Chinese manufacturers expanding internationally. Citing Zhuji’s sock manufacturing industry and Yiwu’s small-commodities sector, Li said China’s manufacturing strength and comprehensive industrial supply chains provide a solid foundation for global expansion. Tec-Do aims to use AI to strengthen companies’ branding and distribution channels, helping them move into higher-value activities at both ends of the “smile curve” and shift from competing on low prices to winning consumer preference.

 

“Global marketing is our first step in demonstrating AI’s impact on productivity. Our ultimate ambition is to help businesses worldwide generate profits with AI,” Li said. Looking ahead, Tec-Do will continue investing in specialized models and AI agents while deepening open collaboration with technology platforms and industry partners. The company aims to make professional global marketing capabilities available to more businesses, help Chinese products win over global consumers and translate manufacturing strength into market share, brand premiums and business returns.
