GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LIZHI INC. ("LIZHI" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LIZI), an audio-based social and entertainment company, has announced that, with its latest technological advancements and achievements in natural language processing (NLP), the Company is working on an AI-powered online chatbot demo.

LIZHI is committed to driving ongoing product innovation for interactive audio entertainment through continuous exploration and advancement of cutting-edge technologies along with the Company’s strengths in developing online audio products.

In the years to come, LIZHI will continue advancing the technologies that support and enhance the Company’s products, and then apply these advancements to a wider range of usage scenarios – ultimately providing users with a richer and even more personalized content and audio experience.
