About SKODA
SAIC Volkswagen Ĺ KODA is a joint venture between SAIC Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. and the Czech automaker Ĺ KODA Auto. Founded in 1895, Ĺ KODA is one of the oldest car brands in Europe.
Challenges
Ĺ koda faced several key challenges in its efforts to adapt to the rapidly changing automotive industry:
Complexities of Localization and Customer Support
To cater to a global audience, continuous 24/7 customer support was necessary. This approach significantly increased labor costs and presented challenges in managing human resources.
High Costs of Live Streaming Operations
Setting up a professional live streaming studio requires expensive equipment and venue costs, resulting in high operational expenses. Hiring professional live streamers was not only costly but also brought challenges related to the variability in their performance due to professional skills.
Efficiency Challenges
Traditional live streaming was limited by time constraints, which restricted the frequency and duration of live sessions, thereby limiting brand exposure opportunities.
Given these challenges, creating an always-on, high-efficiency live streaming operation was a complex task, involving significant costs for studio setup and personnel, coupled with potential variability in live streaming quality.

As an early adopter of AI technologies, Ĺ KODA aligned with the "New Four Modernizations" trend in the automotive industry and embraced intelligent digital marketing. In partnership with the AIGC-powered digital marketing platform KreadoAI, Ĺ KODA launched the "Ĺ KODA AI Digital Avatar," creating a new, round-the-clock growth model.

Cost Control for Lead Generation
ROI Evaluation: KreadoAIâs digital avatar livestreams enabled Ĺ KODA to build high-quality livestream rooms, extend broadcast time, and significantly boost lead conversion rates, all while reducing costs.
Technology and Innovation Needs
