From "going it alone" to "ecological symbiosis", AI community reconstruction, "super individual" entrepreneurship, new infrastructure

2026-02-09   

As the penetration of big models and intelligent agent technology accelerates, the new entrepreneurial paradigm of "single person+AI as company", "one person company (OPC)", and "super individual" quietly emerges. From the dilemma of entrepreneurs struggling alone in the past, to now relying on AI communities to achieve "ecological symbiosis", the individual entrepreneurship track is being redefined. The AI ecological support network that focuses on connection, empowerment, and service is gradually taking shape, becoming a "hedge" for individual entrepreneurial risks and an "amplifier" for innovation capabilities. The rise of "one person companies" has given rise to new demands. In the past, when starting a business, renting a venue, recruiting a team, and running procedures, one person simply couldn't handle it. Now with AI tools and community support, I alone can support an AI visual design company. ”An entrepreneur who joined the AI community admitted that AI technology has greatly lowered the threshold for individual entrepreneurship. With the support of AI tools, individuals can complete content production, product operation, and service delivery with the help of large models and intelligent agents, and the business logic of entrepreneurship has undergone profound changes. The reporter learned that the current "super individuals" and "one person companies" are accelerating their rise. These entrepreneurs rely on cutting-edge AI technology, focus on vertical sub sectors such as education, healthcare, and industry, and demonstrate strong vitality through precise positioning and efficient implementation. Unlike traditional entrepreneurship, OPC entrepreneurs do not need to invest a large amount of cost to form a team. By relying on their professional abilities and combining AI tools, they can achieve creative implementation and commercial monetization. Dong Bo, the operator of Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community Incubator and the chairman of Krypton Creative Services, said in an interview with reporters: "The entrepreneurs we interact with mostly come from universities and technology companies, either with AI research and development backgrounds or specialized abilities in specific fields, with over 50% under the age of 35. ”In his view, young entrepreneurs are sensitive to new technologies and have a strong willingness to try and make mistakes. AI technology provides them with the possibility of "using small to gain big", and big model tools greatly shorten application development time, unleashing individual entrepreneurial imagination. The entrepreneurial experience of Na Rongyu, co-founder of Beijing Suyuan Matrix Technology, who has settled in Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community, is quite representative. The company focuses on the integration of scientific intelligence and industrial intelligence, and maximizes the value of process industrial materials through AI technology. Our team of only about 10 people can undertake top technology projects for large central and state-owned enterprises; before the popularization of AI, this required a team of at least 50 people to complete. ”The rise of OPC mode has given rise to new demands for entrepreneurial services. The common pain points for most OPC entrepreneurs are high start-up costs, heavy administrative burdens, high technological barriers, difficult resource acquisition, and weak growth support. One person companies have limited energy, and they not only have to engage in research and development, promotion, but also deal with trivial matters such as industry and commerce, taxation, etc., often neglecting one aspect at a time. ”A one person company founder stated that they urgently need professional services and comprehensive support to get rid of trivial matters and focus on core innovation. Industry analysts point out that even though OPC trial and error costs are low, the lack of external support still makes it difficult to overcome capacity and resource bottlenecks, and changes in demand are driving the upgrade of entrepreneurial service models. Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuhan and other places have successively introduced policies and built platforms to safeguard OPC entrepreneurs. Shanghai Lingang Group launches the "Super Individual 288 Action" to create a zero boundary Rubik's Cube incubator, providing complete services with zero rental space; Suzhou held the first Artificial Intelligence OPC Conference, proposing the goal of cultivating thousands of OPC enterprises and gathering tens of thousands of talents by 2028; Wuhan has built a Binjiang Qincheng artificial intelligence OPC community, relying on Alibaba's ecosystem to provide full cycle support; Beijing Haidian relies on the Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community to release relevant service plans and build a full chain empowerment system... The rise of the OPC model is the result of the joint action of technological progress and market demand, and also puts forward higher requirements for the entrepreneurial service ecosystem. ”Dong Bo frankly stated, "In addition to the micro environment for innovation and entrepreneurship, it is also necessary for the whole society to create a favorable environment, so that more good ideas can be implemented and inject vitality into the economy." The AI community has built a full chain empowerment system, with vibrant orange and white tones, bright and spacious atrium, a large lecture hall that can accommodate thousands of people, a hundred person roadshow hall, and multi specification conference rooms... The reporter saw at the AI North Latitude Community in Zhongguancun that it can meet various needs such as meetings, roadshows, and training. The community space is well-equipped, covering multi-functional exhibition and display spaces, event venues, and office areas. In addition, the community is connected to Haidian Joy City through a corridor, surrounded by research institutions such as Beijing Zhongguancun College and Zhongguancun Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, forming a linkage ecology between industry and life. ”Liu Mengyi, the person in charge of the community exhibition hall, introduced. Space security is the foundation of OPC entrepreneurship, and AI communities across the country have generally introduced rent free and low rent policies. Shanghai Lingjie Magic Cube offers up to 3 years of free workstation fees, Wuhan Binjiang Qincheng launches free startup space, and Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community provides high-quality office space for OPC entrepreneurs. In addition to space vehicles, AI communities across the country have established comprehensive service systems. In terms of public services, Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community integrates one-stop services such as business registration, financial and tax agency, and policy declaration to help entrepreneurs get rid of administrative chores. In the past, running business and taxation required running multiple departments, but now there is a dedicated person in the community to handle it, allowing me to focus on technology research and development, "said a founder of a settled enterprise. It is worth mentioning that this one-stop service is also the core service content of communities such as Shanghai Lingjie Magic Cube and Wuhan Binjiang Qincheng. Technological empowerment is the core advantage of the AI community. Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community actively collaborates with institutions and enterprises such as China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and iFlytek to promote the co construction of an open technology platform and enterprise level AI Agent (artificial intelligence agent) operating system for OPC. It provides free domestic large model APIs (application programming interfaces) and standardized intelligent agent templates, and relies on the Beijing computing power dispatch platform to provide flexible and low-priced GPU computing power. It also builds public empowerment carriers such as "AI tool supermarkets". The integration of talent and resources is the key to OPC's growth. As a "Haidian Alumni Station", Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community collaborates with 37 universities in Haidian to provide precise talent and project docking services for settled enterprises. The community often organizes technical exchange activities, which not only allows us to recruit talents but also provides opportunities for technology implementation, "said Na Rongyu. The community also connects investment institutions and large enterprises through roadshows to help enterprises expand cooperation. In addition, the comprehensive living facilities and growth support system also enable entrepreneurs to move forward with ease and grow rapidly. Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community is equipped with discounted talent apartments, discounted canteens, subway connecting lines, and plans to establish a social security bureau station. The community also uses the artificial intelligence OPC night school as a carrier to optimize the course system of 'AI tools+entrepreneurship practice', invites expert mentors to provide accompanying support, and organically links with scene docking, financing roadshows and other activities to build a full process training loop of 'learning empowerment practice verification resource docking'. ”Dong Bo introduces. Targeting the goal of creating an OPC innovation source and achievement transformation highland, AI communities across the country are accelerating their efforts to build an innovation source and achievement transformation highland. Since the release of the service plan in December 2025, Zhongguancun AI North Latitude Community has gathered more than a hundred AI native enterprises, with active OPC entrepreneurial forms, and has initially formed a cultivation channel that connects "talent university incubation industry". These OPC enterprises exhibit the characteristics of 'precision, specialization, early implementation, and practicality': team size of 1 to 4 people, founders with high education or background in well-known enterprises, project focus on the 'AI+' vertical field, emphasis on technology implementation, reflecting a development trend of light assets and high potential. ”Dong Bo said. Talent aggregation is the foundation of innovation strategy, while achievement transformation is the key to OPC's sustainable development. AI communities across the country are connecting with university resources and building solid talent support, while also linking investment institutions and industry resources to construct a virtuous cycle of "scenario product financing growth". Wuhan Binjiang Qincheng has opened up real scenes and orders from Alibaba, Shanghai Lingjie Rubik's Cube has provided cooperation opportunities with industry leaders, and Zhongguancun AI North Wei Community has promoted the establishment of an OPC special scene list, promoting the integration of products into real scenes such as urban governance and industrial upgrading through methods such as "unveiling and leading". With the rise of the OPC entrepreneurial paradigm, the ecological value of the AI community is becoming apparent. Some AI community operators have stated that the core value of the community is to gather AI talents, industries, and ecosystems. "The atmosphere of settled enterprises is harmonious, and although they focus on the same AI track, they often develop through differentiated development in segmented fields without vicious competition. Instead, they often exchange experiences and share resources through community activities, forming a healthy development ecosystem. ”From "going it alone" to "ecological symbiosis", the growth of OPC entrepreneurs cannot be separated from the empowerment of AI technology and the support of entrepreneurial ecology. The practice of AI communities has shown that the full chain empowerment system can effectively solve individual entrepreneurial pain points and stimulate entrepreneurial vitality. Under the wave of "AI+", with the rise of more AI communities and intensified policies, individual entrepreneurship will usher in a broader space, injecting surging momentum into high-quality economic development.
