In an interview after the meeting, Wang Xiaochuan said that in the AI era, Sogou's main revenue routes include the following:
The first is to open the input method. In the past is three rocket input method to promote the search, but set a track before the sogou listing, that search as the core battlefield .In this case, the input method of compression of their own growth, so this year The big strategy is to loosen input methods, which start connecting information, connecting services, and connecting goods, including the input method now being used in Medina Q & A. The input method becomes important and 'opens up a new battlefield'.
The second is the use of information flow as the input method, the browser to provide personalized services.Because the flow of information and search of advertisers closer to the user form can complement each other, the former provides recommendations for user portraits, post The user is active cross-border search,
The third is the conference released two hardware products are also an important part of Sogou revenue, translation is in AI and language, than the voice, the image is complex, but the dialogue is relatively simple and easier to use than a question and answer Technology.
