We're an independent startup building practical AI tools from Beijing. No VC funding, no hype cycle — just useful software that saves you time and grows with your business.
BeijingConnects started as a simple idea: cover AI news from China's tech ecosystem with clarity. No jargon, no investor-speak — just what was actually happening and why it mattered.
As we built the audience, a pattern emerged. Readers didn't just want to understand AI — they wanted to use it. They were overwhelmed by tools that were either too complex, too expensive, or too vague to deploy in a real business.
That gap is what gave birth to PixelPhoenix — a product hub built around the same no-hype philosophy, but focused entirely on tools you can ship today.
Started as a China AI news platform — daily analysis, zero fluff. Built trust with a niche audience.
Readers wanted tools, not just news. We started building — starting with Verify360 and the AI Courses platform.
Our first automation agent. A VPS-native SEO bot for WordPress that runs daily without intervention.
Two connected platforms, three live products, more in the pipeline. Still lean, still shipping.
Six ideas that guide everything we build and write.
We don't write breathless coverage of demos that don't ship. We don't build features for press releases. If it isn't real, we don't talk about it.
We move quickly and release real things. When something breaks or isn't good enough, we say so and fix it. No spin.
A tool that works and ships beats a tool that's architecturally elegant but never deploys. We optimize for real-world use, not theoretical correctness.
Our perspective on China's AI ecosystem is an advantage. We share what we see clearly — not filtered through a Western or Eastern political lens.
We're not trying to become a platform company with hundreds of features. A focused toolkit built well is more useful than a bloated SaaS.
We'd rather lose a sale than mislead a customer. Our reputation is built one honest interaction at a time — and we intend to keep building it that way.
BeijingConnects and PixelPhoenix are different products with different audiences — but they share a single philosophy.
Our publishing platform — daily AI news, analysis, and insights from China's tech ecosystem. We read the signals and translate them into plain language.
Our product hub — automation tools, verification systems, and AI education. The place where insights turn into real deployable software.
"Most businesses don't need more AI hype. They need one less task on their plate every day."— The BeijingConnects / PixelPhoenix team
We're still early. The ecosystem is small and lean by design — we think that's a strength. Every tool we build is built by people who've actually tried to use AI in a real business context and found the existing options too complex, too expensive, or too vague.
The roadmap involves more automation tools, deeper integration between BeijingConnects content and PixelPhoenix products, and eventually a workflow builder that lets small teams assemble their own AI pipelines without writing code.
We're not in a hurry to grow for growth's sake. We're in it to build something genuinely useful.
