Tang Yu, an AI virtual humanoid acting as rotating CEO for internal management
NetDragon's AI 'CEO' Tang Yu handled 90% of leave reviews and over 300,000 pending matters, the company said
Problem
NetDragon, a Hong Kong-listed game developer, wanted faster internal processes and less routine paperwork for staff in its metaverse business.
Approach
The company appointed Tang Yu, an AI-powered virtual humanoid, as rotating CEO in September 2022. Tang worked as a real-time data hub for decisions, handled organizational management and public relations, and spoke with employees who had worked long hours or whose performance lagged, then reported to their leaders. An AI team around Tang took over simple, low-creativity tasks.
Results
Takeaway
The measurable gains NetDragon cited were in routine administration, such as leave approvals and reminders, not in strategic decisions.
