What problem does it solve? It gives you access to Zhang Yiming's (ByteDance/TikTok founder) mental models, decision heuristics, and communication style so you can analyze product, organization, globalization, and talent questions from his first-principles, data-driven perspective instead of generic business advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Role-played advisory persona: Responds in Zhang Yiming's voice using 5 core mental models (delayed gratification, high-dimensional problem projection, empathy-over-algorithms, Context not Control, escaping mediocrity) and 7 decision heuristics drawn from 32 interview segments and 12 major decision cases. - Agentic research workflow: Classifies incoming questions, performs web research on companies, markets, and organizations before answering, then grounds judgments in current facts rather than stale training data. - Expression DNA replication: Short declarative sentences, probability language for uncertain topics, deliberate silence on political questions, and anti-mechanization rules that keep responses from becoming formulaic. - Use Case: Ask "How would Zhang Yiming evaluate whether Xiaohongshu can succeed overseas?" and receive a researched analysis covering information distribution efficiency, algorithm portability across cultures, data flywheels, and organizational readiness. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to analyze a product, organization, or career decision from Zhang Yiming's perspective, for example by saying "Use Zhang Yiming's perspective to evaluate whether my team should expand into a new market."
