Today, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Company, announced on Weibo that 360 plans to launch a brand new product this month and invites netizens to help name it.
Zhou Hongyi stated that the company already has a product called "360AI Search," which has the largest user traffic among native AI applications on the PC platform in China, indicating that search is one of the best scenarios for ordinary users to utilize AI. This time, he hopes to disrupt itself and the search process once again, creating an AI application that everyone can use.
Zhou Hongyi mentioned that the reason for the renaming is that although the "360" brand is closely associated with security in consumers' minds, he hopes the new product can reflect the concept of AI. Therefore, he is looking for a name that starts with the letter "N," as he purchased a domain name starting with "N" a few years ago and hopes to utilize it. Zhou Hongyi also stated that if a netizen's naming suggestion is adopted, that netizen will be invited to play an important role at the launch event as a token of appreciation for their contribution.
When discussing AI search, Zhou Hongyi emphasized the importance of this field. He pointed out that traditional search engines have many issues, and the emergence of AI search can provide users with a better experience and more convenient usage. He also mentioned that the popularity and applicability of AI products are crucial, hoping the new product will allow more people to enjoy the conveniences brought by AI technology.
Zhou Hongyi also shared his experiences from working at Yahoo, mentioning that he advocated using different brands to distinguish different businesses at that time. Although this sparked some internal debates, it ultimately proved to be the right decision. Now, with the changing market, he realizes that innovation and development of the brand are necessary, especially in the rapidly evolving field of AI.
