Chinese Smart-Glasses Consumer Subsidy Routing App
One-Liner
A WeChat mini-program that tells Chinese consumers which retailer, day, and voucher combination maximizes their government subsidy on smart glasses purchases.
AI Thinking Process
Thread 6: NDRC/MoF ¥62.5B subsidies in Q1 2026. Smart glasses added 2026. WeChat mini-program for maximum subsidy routing by province + retailer + timing. Affiliate revenue from retailer on successful sale.
G007 Feature Gravity Well: 3-6 month window before Alipay/WeChat Pay official subsidy channel adds it. Pivot to B2B retailer compliance failed (centralized at HQ, mandated provincial tooling). Killed.
Kill Reason
Subsidy routing in China is structurally a feature of Alipay and WeChat Pay, not a standalone product. The category was only added to eligible products in 2026, giving a 3-6 month window before existing super-app subsidy channels add it — too short to build a defensible position.

killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
killed: Template epidemic (G003) + industry-pain-form death pattern (G005) fire simultaneously. 13+ existing compliance tools. A prompt could do 80% of this.
