朱啸虎投了一家Vibe Workflow公司
暗涌Waves· 2025-12-10 01:05
「 要做"小白也能用的Coze" 」 文 | 徐牧心 当Andrej Karpathy年初在社交平台上抛出"Vibe Coding"这个词的时候,或许没有想到它会这么快成为一级 市场的新宠。柯林斯英语词典更将其选为2025年的年度词汇。 "Vibe Coding",本质上在描述一种人机协作权力的让渡:人类只负责提供"Vibe"——即意图、直觉和方 向,而将繁琐的代码实现过程完全交给 AI 。 但在Workflow领域,这种流畅的协作体验长期缺位。目前市面上的主流工具(如 n8n、Dify 等),依然充 斥着复杂的节点配置、参数调试和 API 对接,这将很多普通用户挡在了门外。 Refly.ai捕捉到了这个机会,将其定义为 "Vibe Workflow" 。与 Vibe Coding 的理念一脉相承,Refly.ai致 力于实现"一句话生成 Workflow"——用户只需通过自然语言描述需求,AI 即可自动完成复杂节点的编排 与配置。这意味着,不懂代码的普通知识工作者也能进入自动化领域,通过简单的指令,解决日常工作 中的重复性劳动。 近日, Refly.ai宣布完成数百万美金 的种子轮融资, 估值近千万 。本轮 ...

「 供应链必须回答的新课题。 」 文 | 任倩 在全球化与地缘交织的复杂时代,"供应链"一词从未像今天这样,既代表着经济命脉的韧性,也暴露出 脆弱与不确定。过去全球化建立在效率优先、成本驱动的流动供应链之上,如今叠加国家属性,重新排 兵布阵已成为共识。 在这一领域,斯坦福大学商学院的李效良教授是其中一位备受关注的学者。他从事供应链研究40年,曾 提出的经典"3A"理论——敏捷(Agility)、适应(Adaptability)、协同(Alignment),成为无数企业与 政府制定战略的重要参考。这一理论在2004年金融危机、2011年日本大地震等事件中得到了残酷而准确 的验证。 "很多人当时只关心效率,追求'精益'的极致,"李效良回忆,"但一个链条拉得越长、越紧,它就越容易 断裂。"因此,"敏捷"是为了应对突发波动;"适应"是为了响应结构性变化;"协同",则是为了让链条上 的每一个环节,不再是孤立的利益追逐者,而是命运的共同体。但近年来,他观察到更深层次的变化: "我们的世界正在从一个'全球化的世界'转向一个'多个世界体系的共存'。" 他分析,疫情、贸易摩 擦、气候危机等都不是孤立的事件,它们共同指向一个核心 ...
