An iFLYTEK company visit in China shows how artificial intelligence moves from core technology into real business applications. This company visit introduces participants to iFLYTEK's development from speech recognition and human-computer interaction to large language models and industry solutions.
The program combines a visit to an artificial intelligence exhibition hall with a focused session on the iFLYTEK Spark Large Language Model and its industry applications. Participants can explore examples across areas such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, translation and workplace productivity, then discuss how AI capabilities can be adapted to different business contexts.
Why visit iFLYTEK?
Many people first encounter iFLYTEK through speech recognition, voice input, translation devices or other AI-powered products. These products offer an accessible introduction to the company, but a visit can go further: it can help business teams understand how AI capabilities develop from core technologies into products and industry applications.
iFLYTEK's story offers a useful lens on the evolution of human-machine interaction. Speech technologies help machines receive and process human language. Large language models extend this interaction by enabling systems to work with context, generate content, support reasoning and assist with more complex tasks.
For business leaders, the central question is not only what an AI model can do. It is how a company connects technology with its data, expertise, workflows and customer needs — and how it turns those capabilities into useful services and business value.
What can you learn?
1 — From speech recognition to intelligent interaction: how speech recognition, speech synthesis and natural language processing help people interact with machines through language, connecting familiar products such as voice input and translation tools with the technologies behind them and the business needs they address.
2 — How large language models extend AI capabilities: how large language models move beyond transcription or fixed-command responses to support language understanding, content generation, reasoning and task assistance. The session introduces iFLYTEK's Spark Large Language Model and discusses its development and potential applications.
3 — How AI enters different industries: what business problem an application is designed to address, what data, expertise or industry knowledge it relies on, how it fits into an existing workflow, and what a company should evaluate before applying a similar solution. Examples may come from education, healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, enterprise digitalization, translation and workplace productivity.
4 — What it takes to turn AI into business value: a model or tool alone does not guarantee useful results. Applying AI in a business setting may also require relevant data, domain knowledge, workflow design, technical integration and ongoing evaluation, and the visit helps teams examine how these elements work together when planning their own AI initiatives.
