Use case
Selecting target audiences and keywords when brand merchants run product ads on e-commerce platforms
Media buyers preset tags from experience, manually combine related keywords and audience packages, and expand reach through repeated trial and error
In a saturated market, label-based audience selection around renovation and furniture tags stops delivering growth, and high-intent but non-obvious audiences like esports players get missed

Trend: ad targeting is shifting from human-selected labels to AI reasoning directly over consumption intent, pulling growth judgment away from media buyers' experience. Entry: build intent-based audience reasoning for channels outside Alibaba's ecosystem—DTC sellers, local service merchants—where targeting is still manual, and charge for placement outcomes rather than selling seats.
