ShanghaiMay 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gaming, social networking, e-commerce, short dramas, and other pan-entertainment internet sectors are crossing a new threshold of complexity. With fragmented user paths and lengthened cross-departmental collaboration chains, the traditional model of “dashboards plus manual analysis” has hit its ceiling — AI Agents capable of understanding business, making judgments, and driving collaboration are now entering real business workflows.
From Gaming to Pan-Entertainment Internet: Decision-Making and Collaboration Are Becoming New Infrastructure
Over the past decade, the data-driven industry has evolved through three stages: from “viewing data” to “analyzing data” to “making decisions with data.” The gaming industry, characterized by high-density behavioral data, fast operational rhythms, and complex collaboration chains, became the earliest scenario where AI Agents were stress-tested for enterprise deployment.
The intelligent decision-making paradigm validated in the gaming industry is now gradually migrating to pan-entertainment internet sectors such as social networking, e-commerce, short dramas, and live streaming. The common signal for 2026 is clear: businesses are moving from “data visibility” to “decision executability,” and enterprise-level AI Agent collaboration is becoming the new infrastructure for digital operations.
A Decade of Accumulation Meets Industry Shift: ThinkingAI Completes Brand Upgrade, Earning Dual Recognition from National and Local Governments
ThinkingAI (formerly ThinkingData, founded in 2015) is a long-term participant on this evolutionary path. Starting with behavioral data analysis and operational scenarios in the gaming industry, the company has served over 1,500 enterprises, covering more than 8,000 products, with business spanning gaming, social networking, e-commerce, short dramas, live streaming, and other digital sectors centered on user behavior.
A decade of industry accumulation has given the team deep practical experience in decision-making chains under complex business conditions, serving as the foundational support for ThinkingAI’s transition from a data analytics vendor to an AI Agent platform provider.
In 2026, ThinkingAI completed its brand upgrade from ThinkingData to ThinkingAI. Behind this upgrade is a strategic shift from “data infrastructure” to “intelligent decision collaboration.” Centered on this direction, ThinkingAI launched the enterprise-level AI Agent platform, Agentic Engine, built around the three pillars of “Sense, Know, Act” — enabling AI Agents to perceive the real state of business, possess judgment capabilities within business contexts, and integrate into actual workflows to form a closed loop. The product was globally launched on April 16, 2026, at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley.
This strategic shift received industry-level objective endorsements in 2026. The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology awarded the highest rating of 4+ levels, as a national authority’s assessment of enterprise AI technical capabilities; simultaneously, ThinkingAI was selected by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization for the “AI Excellent Application Cases Collection,” an official certification from the Shanghai government of the feasibility and maturity of AI deployment in real-world scenarios. These two evaluations, from both national and local government dimensions, jointly validate the feasibility and maturity of ThinkingAI’s strategic shift.
