## The Rapid Rise of Chinese AI Teams Worldwide

In 2025, the **pace of AI globalisation** is so fast it’s almost impossible to keep track. Every few days, new Chinese teams launch innovative products worldwide — spanning **AI design assistants**, **video generation platforms**, **voice models**, and **smart hardware**.  

Products are multiplying, iterations are accelerating, and the density of information flows is **unprecedented**.

Despite this surge, a subtle asymmetry persists:  
**Chinese teams can build world‑class products, yet often fail to make the world truly understand them.** Users recognise features but rarely know who’s behind them or what those innovations represent.

---

## The Challenge of Being Understood Abroad

Many export‑focused AI teams share the same challenge:  
- **Excellent product quality and performance**
- **Top‑tier engineering capabilities**
- Yet little **mainstream awareness** overseas.

**Algorithms can win attention, but they cannot automatically win trust.**  
With technical capabilities already on par with the world, the next barrier for Chinese AI teams is *being understood*.

One company repeatedly emerges when exploring solutions to this problem — **Cubo** (矩阵魔方).

---

## Cubo: More Than Marketing

Described as *"the outbound engine of the AI era"* and *"the company that helps Chinese teams be understood by the world"*, Cubo is **not** a traditional marketing agency.  

They don’t:
- Sell ads
- Run operations for clients

Instead, they rebuild a new logic:  
**AI industry competition is shifting from technology to cognition, and true growth comes from the ability to be understood.**

In Cubo’s view:
> Going global is never simply “going out” — it’s “letting others understand you.”

---

## Redefining AI Global Expansion

Cubo’s positioning is **“GTM for AI”** — a Go‑To‑Market engine. Their insight is clear:
- The core contradiction in AI exports is not capability or cost, but the **cognitive gap**.

They’ve created **three main channels**:

1. **Partnerly** — global cold starts & communication rhythm (100+ projects)
2. **Oncely** — marketplace linking AI/SaaS with users & subscription deals
3. **AI Secret** — newsletter to 1.9M professionals, building trust via content

These form an **inter‑driven loop**:  
- Partnerly → **seen**  
- Oncely → **conversion**  
- AI Secret → **trust**

## Lessons from the Mobile Internet Era

Cubo’s team comes from a **golden era of mobile internet entrepreneurship**, having:
- Built products from scratch
- Achieved ¥3B annual GMV
- Served 2.3M paying users

Their experience confirms:  
**The product is only the starting point; growth is systematic engineering.**

---

## Three Strategic Keywords

Cubo distills its AI‑era strategy into:
1. **GTM for AI** — build market infrastructure, not just tech
2. **Version-as-Event** — make every update a marketing event
3. **Zero-Waste Growth** — ensure all content & spend compound over time

---

## Growth Through Understanding

Cubo’s “understanding engine” has **three steps**:

### 1. Define the Category
- Use concise labels that signal *which future* you belong to.  
Example: Overseas, “next-gen workspace” resonates more than “AI writing.”

### 2. Shape the Narrative
- Universal semantics, understood in 5 seconds.  
Example: Rewrite *“AI content generation platform”* as *“We help ideas publish themselves.”*

### 3. Build the Trust Network
- Identify **trust agents** in communities, focusing on:
  - Community density
  - Contextual match
  - Long‑term compounding

---

## De‑Advertising Growth

For Cubo, **ads amplify understanding — they don’t create it**.  
> Technology determines if you can be used; narrative determines if you will be chosen.

---

## Cold Start: Signal Strength Matters

A cold start isn’t when you launch — it’s when **the world begins talking about you**.

**Five stages** to densify signals:
1. **Signal** — seed curiosity with influencers
2. **Spread** — top KOLs frame your category
3. **Amplify** — organic conversations & memes
4. **Solidify** — pin awareness via retrospectives & rankings
5. **Settle** — turn generated content into long‑term assets

Example:  
An AI tool entered North America by **seeding hints**, sparking YouTube/Reddit reviews, then media coverage — all without heavy ads.  
> *Traffic bought is noise; traffic earned through trust stays.*

---

## The Logic of Being Seen

Cubo starts projects by asking:
1. Which **future** do you represent?
2. Who should understand you?
3. When should they hear about you?

They advise:
- Spend first dollars **where you’ll truly be seen**
- Engage trusted voices, build in credible communities
- Treat **version releases** as **brand events**

---

## Hardware & AI Launches

For AI hardware:
- Sync product launch cadence with consumer electronics
- Add tech/AI narrative touchpoints
- Shape perception as well as make sales

---

## Summary: From Going Global to Being Understood

> In global expansion, only teams the world truly understands will go further.
