The American migration to Xiaohongshu
(RedNote) may be the craziest accidental cultural exchange ever.

Hundreds of thousands of users landed in an app not localized or in their language.

One day in, and it’s already considered rude not to subtitle videos in the other language. Image
Image
Trends I’ve noticed:

- Chinese users telling Americans how not to get banned (policies are much stricter)
- Americans admiring Chinese fashion and diets
- Huge volume of subtitled American TV shows as a way to learn English
- More educational / business content
This video encapsulates the general vibe 👇

“Ni hao, my name is Ryan….I am a refugee from TikTok”

AI voice agents are on 🔥

We're moving from the innovator -> early adopter part of the curve, with new startups sprouting up weekly to serve different verticals.

What @illscience and I are seeing @a16z, and why we're excited 👇 Image
Not every business is ready for today's voice agents.

The early adopters tend to have a few things in common:

They heavily rely on calls to drive new business. These calls have a defined task or structure, and the stakes are (relatively) low - they're not life-or-death. Image
No one wants to send a prospective customer to voicemail.

Today's voice agents are great for after hours and overflow calls - and some outperform call centers. As they improve, they'll rival onshore employees, at much lower cost.

Some of the exciting products we've seen ⬇️

There were some shakeups from our last list, including 25+ new entrants.

Here's what it says about how consumers are using AI 👇 Image

1️⃣ Creative tools continue to dominate.

52% of top sites are in content generation or editing - including 60% of new entrants!

This includes 3 in video (@LumaLabsAI, @ViggleAI, @vidnoz_official) and 1 in music (@udiomusic).

Music co @suno_ai_ was the top mover by # of spots. Image

🚨 New @a16z investment thesis: AI scribes.

Imagine if you had a superhuman assistant that listened to your conversations, took perfect notes, and flagged follow-ups.

And, it could make you smarter by surfacing insights or trends you missed.

More from me & @illscience👇 Image
Let's start with the history of scribes.

It's an ancient profession dating back to the invention of written language.

The role was critical in facilitating communication of all kinds - business, legal, religious, etc. - as well as recording history. Image
Today, scribes are most commonly seen in the medical, legal, and govt fields.

There are ~100k medical scribes in the US, one for every 10 physicians.

But many other roles have scribe responsibilities - translators, educators, journalists, researchers, salespeople, assistants. Image

🚨 New @a16z investment thesis!

It's time for AI to reinvent the phone call - enter conversational voice agents 📱

What we're excited to invest in + market maps (from me and @illscience) 👇 Image
@a16z @illscience We see use cases for voice agents across B2B and B2C.

For businesses - replace labor with software!

For consumers - provide access to previously expensive services (therapy, coaching, etc.) + unlock new types of conversations.

Read our full thesis here: gamma.app/docs/a16z-Real…
Why have voice agents been challenging to build?

To have a conversation, an agent needs to:

1) Understand what you said (speech-to-text)
2) Formulate a response (LLM)
3) Verbalize the response (text-to-speech)
4) Deliver the response to you (streaming, telephony) Image
