What Inspires Us

Human voice is powerful. It reveals our feelings and thoughts, creates understanding and empathy, and fills us with joy and inspirations. It establishes companionship and brings us together in a way like no other medium.

Over 100 years ago, radio was invented to connect the world through human voices. Its massive reach, seamless transmission, and ubiquitous presence have changed and enriched everyone’s life. Fifteen years ago, the rapid development of internet gave rise to podcasts, attracting a younger audience and nurturing audio hosts of the future.

Now, with the rise of mobile technology, we saw an opportunity to transform audio creation and sharing to elevate the roles of voices in people’s lives. That’s why we built Lizhi six years ago - to revamp traditional radio and podcasts to create a bigger and more accessible stage for everyone to create, store, share, discover and enjoy audio, and interact through it.

Artificial Intelligent (AI) technology has been transforming the way we create and share audio content. Human voice is unique in expressing one’s mood and feelings, as the pitches and tones associated with different moods are often subconscious and difficult to forge. AI technology can help us discern one’s voices to understand their feelings and behaviors and further elevate the role of voices in people’s lives. We will also endeavor to integrate social responsibilities into our product offerings, through finding people the voices they like, relieving their stress, providing companionship, and bringing them happiness.

What we do today is just the beginning. We envision a global audio community - a place where everyone can become a host, record their lives, share stories, and empathize and connect with each other, through voices and across cultures.

What We Do

We are a leading online UGC (user-generated content) audio community as well as one of the largest online audio and interactive audio entertainment platforms in China in terms of average total MAUs.

We launched our Lizhi app in 2013 to allow users to record and share their lives with voices on mobile devices with the help of intuitive recording, and to reach their audience through various discovery tools. Since then, we have amassed extensive and growing user-generated audio content. Through our extensive podcast library, we attract a growing and active user base, which presents attractive monetization opportunities.

With user interactions built into every podcast, live streaming and social entertainment product, our users don’t just listen on our platform. We launched audio live streaming as our first audio entertainment product in 2016, making it possible for our users to enjoy a multi-dimensional, interactive audio experience. Through Lizhi, users can follow their favorite hosts and channels, become a host and create their own podcasts, perform in live streaming, and interact with others through various interactive features. Today, it is not only easy and fast to discover one’s favorite audio on Lizhi - we also offer a far more engaging and diversified entertainment experience through audio. We believe this audio-centric interaction is a natural extension of the power of voices. Since our launch, we have also introduced a wide range of interactive audio products to drive user interactions.
