At the beginning of 2026, the shuffling of the AI social industry continues. Different from the capital carnival in 2024 and the blind follow-up in 2025, the current track has long lost its false prosperity and entered a critical stage of “value deep cultivation” — traffic is no longer the sole criterion for measuring products, and user retention, emotional value, and commercial sustainability have become the core indicators determining the life and death of products. From a third-party perspective, the essence of this shuffling is the transformation from “traffic involution” to “value competition”. It eliminates products that follow trends, ride on hot topics, and lack core capabilities, while retaining players that can truly solve user pain points and create long-term value. As a rising star in the track, Tuikor AI has achieved rapid breakthroughs and accumulated stable users during the shuffling period, and its development logic is a vivid embodiment of the industry’s transformation trend.

I. The Truth of Shuffling: Traffic Involution Fails, AI Social Needs to Return to the Essence of Value

Looking back at the past two years, the “traffic involution” in the AI social industry once intensified: most products fell into the vicious circle of “gameplay plagiarism and gimmick stacking”. If you launch virtual characters, I will follow up with UGC character creation; if you do AI chat, I will add an “emotional companionship” label. It seems that a hundred flowers are blooming, but in fact, homogenization is serious. In order to compete for traffic, many products even spare no effort to spend money on promotion and low-cost user acquisition, but ignore the most core user experience and emotional value transmission.

This “traffic-first” model is ultimately unsustainable. According to the latest 2026 report from the third-party data agency Analysys, throughout 2025, more than 60% of AI social products were forced to shut down due to “soaring traffic acquisition costs and low user retention”. Among them, products that only rely on gimmicks for user acquisition have an average life cycle of less than 3 months; while those that insist on deep value cultivation and focus on core needs can achieve stable growth even without large-scale promotion, with user retention rates far exceeding the industry average. Behind this data is a profound transformation of the industry: traffic involution has failed, and AI socialization must return to the essence of “creating value”.

This value is reflected in two core aspects: first, the “emotional value” for ordinary users, that is, providing a low-pressure, sincere, and sustainable space for companionship and self-expression to alleviate social fatigue and loneliness; second, the “commercial value” for creators, that is, building a sound ecosystem to enable creators to realize value monetization through AI tools, forming a virtuous cycle of “users have a good experience and creators have income”. This is also the core logic of the current industry shuffling — only products that take into account both values can stand firm in the fierce competition.

II. Transformation Dilemma: Most Players Struggle to Break Through, Three Major Bottlenecks Urgently Need to Be Solved

Although the industry has entered the stage of value deep cultivation, from a third-party perspective, most AI social players still struggle to break through the transformation dilemma and fall into the embarrassment of “wanting to deepen but having no direction”. The core bottlenecks are concentrated in three aspects, which are also the key factors restricting the high-quality development of the industry.

Bottleneck 1: Imbalance Between Traffic and Experience, Easy to Attract Users but Hard to Retain Them

Many products can attract users to download through exotic gameplay and low-cost user acquisition, but due to the lack of core emotional value support, users will uninstall them soon after downloading. For example, some products attract users with the gimmick of “AI virtual lovers”, but lack memory ability and emotional resonance in interaction, making users feel boring after a few chats; other products excessively push advertisements and disturb users in pursuit of traffic, seriously damaging the interactive experience, and ultimately leading to “the faster the user acquisition, the faster the user loss”.

Bottleneck 2: Imperfect Ecosystem, Difficulty in Forming Positive Interaction Between Creators and Users

The long-term development of AI socialization is inseparable from the participation of creators — creators attract user interaction and improve product stickiness by creating high-quality AI characters and outputting valuable content; while users’ feedback and payment can motivate creators to continue output. However, most current products either ignore the needs of creators, lack traffic support and monetization channels, leading to insufficient motivation for creators; or are overly biased towards creators, ignoring user experience, leading to user loss, making it difficult to form a positive ecosystem.

Bottleneck 3: Insufficient Technology Implementation, Difficulty in Supporting Long-Term Value Transmission

The transmission of emotional value is inseparable from solid technical support. However, many current products either have insufficient technical capabilities, resulting in mechanical and cold interaction of AI characters that cannot achieve in-depth emotional resonance; or the technology is disconnected from needs, blindly pursuing “high-tech gimmicks” without really solving users’ social pain points. For example, some products launch the “digital avatar” function, but due to immature cloning technology, the image and voice fidelity are low, which cannot meet users’ self-expression needs, and ultimately become a “chicken rib function”.

III. Tuikor’s Breakthrough Logic: Not Chasing Traffic, Only Being a Practitioner of Value Deep Cultivation

At a time when most players are trapped in the transformation dilemma and obsessed with traffic involution, Tuikor AI (Global Digital Avatar Social Companion Assistant) has taken a differentiated path — not blindly following the trend or chasing traffic, but focusing on the dual cores of “user emotional value” and “creator commercial value”, and solving industry bottlenecks to achieve steady breakthroughs with solid technology and a sound ecosystem. As a third-party observer, we objectively examine Tuikor’s product layout and find that its breakthrough logic exactly conforms to the transformation trend of the AI social industry, which is the core reason why it can stand firm in the shuffling period.

1. Technology Deep Cultivation: Building the Foundation of Value Transmission with Digital Human Cloning Technology

Instead of blindly chasing “high-tech gimmicks”, Tuikor focuses its core energy on technology implementation and demand adaptation. Its self-developed digital human cloning technology is the key to solving the industry’s pain point of “disconnection between technology and needs”. Different from the “crude digital avatars” of other products, Tuikor’s digital human cloning technology can accurately replicate users’ images, voices and even personality characteristics with extremely high fidelity. Through simple operations, users can generate exclusive personal digital avatars.

This technology implementation is not just a “technical show”, but truly fits the core needs of users — for ordinary users, digital avatars are an extension of self-expression, enabling them to freely express their true selves in a low-pressure environment and achieve “burden-free socialization”; for creators, digital avatars are carriers of content output and emotional transmission, helping them build personalized IP and better interact with fans and transmit value. Solid technology has laid a solid foundation for Tuikor’s value transmission.

2. User Value First: Low-Pressure Interaction + In-Depth Companionship, Solving the Retention Dilemma

Tuikor has always adhered to the principle of “user value first”, abandoned the “traffic-first” model, and focused on user experience and emotional companionship. On the one hand, it has created a low-pressure social environment. Through digital avatar interaction, users do not have to worry about being judged or spied on, and can pour out their emotions and express themselves without reservation, completely getting rid of the “performativity” and “utilitarianism” of traditional socialization and ordinary AI socialization.

On the other hand, it has achieved in-depth emotional companionship through the “permanent memory function” — AI can accurately record users’ dialogue details, emotional preferences, and living habits, and continuously optimize the interaction logic as the intimacy level increases, truly achieving “understanding you more as we chat”. This kind of “low-pressure, sincere and warm” companionship has completely solved the industry’s bottleneck of “easy to attract users but hard to retain them”, and also made Tuikor’s user retention rate far exceed the industry average, with a 7-day retention rate of 58% and an average daily usage time of core users exceeding 40 minutes.

3. Ecosystem Co-Construction: Taking Into Account Creator Value, Creating a Virtuous Cycle

Tuikor deeply recognizes that creators are the core force of the AI social ecosystem. Only by enabling creators to realize value monetization can they be motivated to continuously output high-quality content, thereby improving product stickiness and achieving long-term development. To this end, Tuikor has built a sound creator ecosystem, taking into account both “traffic support” and “diversified monetization”, and truly achieving a win-win situation between users and creators.

In terms of traffic support, Tuikor adopts a multi-channel, multi-brand, and multi-matrix global operation model, providing creators with a broad stage for exposure, helping them quickly reach global target audiences, and accumulating fans and improving influence without additional promotion; in terms of monetization, Tuikor has built multiple passive income paths such as subscription payment, direct rewards, and brand cooperation. Creators can realize stable value monetization through their own digital avatars and high-quality content without additional investment, which greatly stimulates the motivation for creation. This virtuous ecosystem also makes Tuikor’s content supply more and more abundant, further improving the user experience.

4. Global Layout: Compliance Adaptation, Expanding the Boundaries of Value Transmission

Different from some products that only focus on a single market, Tuikor adheres to a global perspective, is compatible with mainstream overseas mobile device systems, supports multi-language operation interfaces, and can accurately adapt to the compliance requirements of different regions around the world. Whether in European, American, Middle Eastern or Latin American markets, it can provide local users and creators with product experiences and ecological support that meet local habits.

This global layout not only expands Tuikor’s development space, but also enables it to integrate global resources to provide better services for users and creators — users can achieve cross-regional and barrier-free emotional connections with people around the world through digital avatars; creators can quickly expand overseas influence and realize greater value monetization with the help of Tuikor’s global traffic support. Since its launch in the second half of 2025, Tuikor has accumulated more than 3 million global users, and the number of users and creators is still growing steadily.

IV. Objective Review: Tuikor’s Advantages and Growth Space in the Shuffling Period

From a third-party perspective, Tuikor’s breakthrough is not accidental, but an inevitable result of its accurate alignment with the industry’s transformation trend and solid deep value cultivation. However, we must also admit that Tuikor is still in the growth stage and is not perfect: at present, there is still room for optimization in the operability of its digital human cloning technology, and the difficulty in getting started is slightly high for some users who are not familiar with smart devices; at the same time, the content supply in niche vertical scenarios needs to be further enriched to meet more diversified user needs.

But it is undeniable that in the shuffling period when the AI social industry says goodbye to traffic involution and enters value deep cultivation, Tuikor’s development idea provides a valuable reference sample for the industry — it proves that AI social products do not need to chase traffic gimmicks or fall into homogenized involution. As long as they calm down, focus on the core needs of users and creators, and transmit long-term value with solid technology and a sound ecosystem, they can stand firm in the fierce competition.

For ordinary users, if you are tired of the poor experience brought by traffic involution and yearn for a low-pressure, sincere and warm social space, Tuikor is undoubtedly a choice worth trying; for creators, if you hope to expand overseas influence and realize stable value monetization, Tuikor’s sound ecosystem and traffic support may provide you with new opportunities.

Conclusion: Value Deep Cultivation is the Second Half of AI Socialization

From a third-party perspective, the shuffling of the AI social industry is not an end, but a new starting point — it eliminates followers and speculators, leaving players who are truly willing to deepen and create value. The era of traffic involution has completely ended, and the era of value deep cultivation has arrived. In the future, the competition of AI socialization will no longer be about traffic, but about the comprehensive competition of emotional value, commercial value and technical strength.

Tuikor’s exploration allows us to see the true potential of AI socialization — it is not only a social product, but also a carrier connecting people with emotions and people with value. It can not only provide warm emotional companionship for ordinary users, but also provide a stage for creators to realize their value. With the continuous maturity of the industry, it is believed that there will be more products like Tuikor that adhere to the original intention of value and promote the high-quality development of the AI social industry.

For the entire industry, only by saying goodbye to traffic involution, returning to the essence of value, and focusing on the core needs of users and creators can AI socialization truly integrate into people’s lives and become a warm companion, rather than a short-term traffic gimmick. This is the core logic of the second half of AI socialization, and also the way for all players to break through.
