As Lin Shu began to speak, the room quickly quieted. Everyone focused on her, curious to see what this young woman—personally recruited by Chen Mo—could bring to the table.
"I'll start with my idea for the Artificial Intelligence+ program. The core functionality is similar to what Director Wang described—we promote the use of a personal smart assistant. Every user has a smart account, and our intelligent assistant acts as the 'brain,' connecting various devices to streamline life and work."
She took a breath, glancing across the room.
"But I think we can go a step further—to make these assistants feel personal. Give them form, give them personality."
That got everyone's attention.
"We should let users customize the appearance of their AI assistant: clothes, hairstyle, skin tone, voice, personality traits… like choosing a companion. Each person's tastes and preferences are different. By designing a customizable virtual avatar, we turn the assistant into a digital partner—not just a faceless tool."
Heads around the room began to nod.
"When someone thinks of their assistant, they won't just think 'app' or 'program.' They'll think of an image—something warm, familiar, and theirs. This makes interaction more natural and meaningful.
With holographic mobile phones, the assistant's avatar can be projected directly during use. The user no longer needs to speak awkwardly to a phone or screen—they can interact with their assistant as if it's right there with them."
Zhao Min gave a subtle, approving nod. Lin Shu's idea reminded her of Mo Nu, Chen Mo's own artificial intelligence assistant. Mo Nu had a physical projection, a vivid personality, and a presence that blurred the line between human and machine. Only she and Xiao Yu knew how advanced it truly was.
"Even on non-holographic phones, the assistant's image can still appear on-screen, maintaining that personal presence.
Add in features like encyclopedic knowledge, voice synthesis, dancing, singing, expressions… even daily help with math or language. This kind of assistant will feel integrated into both life and learning."
As she spoke, the team began connecting her ideas with Wang Sijia's framework. What Lin Shu described wasn't just an upgrade—it was the missing soul of the concept. A digital companion with a face, a personality, and emotional connection.
"Now for the holographic ecosystem," Lin Shu continued, shifting topics. "My idea overlaps a bit with Lin Zhiyuan's. Like him, I think we should start with games—especially tower defense, arena-style games, and classic chess/fighting types. They're evergreen genres, still hugely popular and perfect for holographic projection."
She paused for a moment.
"This idea actually came from my roommates. They're not tech people, just normal students—and they're obsessed with games. The excitement they showed over the holographic phone's potential made me realize something: people want fun. They want engagement. If we give them that, they'll follow."
A few chuckles and smiles spread through the room. Lin Shu was young, but she spoke with unexpected insight.
"But I want to suggest a second category—a gentler kind of game. One that's green, wholesome, and fits people's lifestyles:
Virtual pet and plant games."
That caught the room off guard.
"A lot of people love animals but can't raise pets—due to space, time, allergies, or cost. But a holographic pet, projected from your phone and responding like a real creature? That's freedom. It could be anything—cats, pandas, dolphins, hawks, even dinosaurs."
Some of the team smiled at the idea. A pet dinosaur projected on your desk? It was oddly charming.
"You could feed them, dress them up, decorate their homes. Items could be earned through gameplay or exercise. Walk a kilometer, get a food item. Take the stairs, unlock a new outfit.
We could even combine this with an eco-friendly system like Ant Forest. Do some low-carbon travel or green activities in real life, and you grow a virtual tree—or plant a real one through sponsorship. Games that blend entertainment, health, and sustainability."
Zhao Min's eyes brightened.
"And if we connect this with the AI+ assistant… you could have your assistant care for the pet, or even require care themselves. Maybe your AI needs 'energy'—which you earn through walking, learning, or completing tasks.
That way, the AI becomes not just a tool, but something you care about. It's playful, emotional, and adds real stickiness to the product."
By now, nearly everyone in the room was nodding.
What Lin Shu had done was simple but powerful—she'd injected warmth and humanity into two cutting-edge technological proposals. She had seen the emotional layer that others missed.
When she finished, Lin Shu gave a small, nervous bow and returned to her seat. A few of her teammates gave her a subtle thumbs-up.
Zhao Min looked around. "Anyone else?"
The room was quiet. Most had spoken, and those who hadn't were content to let the ideas settle.
Zhao Min stood and addressed the group.
"Good. Then here's what we'll do.
For the Artificial Intelligence+ project, we'll build around Wang Sijia and Lin Shu's framework. All departments will collaborate to flesh out the full assistant system—functions, image design, customization options, and integration. Julie, you'll take the lead in organizing the AI+ planning group.
As for the holographic ecology, Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Shu's proposals will be our entry point. We'll set up a dedicated holographic game development team under the ecological development lab. Start by creating several launch games to open the ecosystem.
Once those are ready, we'll monitor market response and adjust our direction accordingly. Other ideas are welcome—if they're feasible, I'll greenlight them."
She scanned the room one last time.
"Meeting adjourned. Everyone, submit a report summarizing the ideas you support or wish to expand on. Let's make this the next wave of innovation."
As the meeting ended and people stood to leave, there was a buzz of quiet excitement.
Everyone knew what this moment represented: the dawn of Artificial Intelligence+, and the opening chapter of consumer holography.
Two projects with the power to reshape how humans live, work, play—and think.
And quietly, at the edge of the room, Lin Shu smiled to herself.
For the first time, she didn't just feel like part of the team—she felt like she belonged.
