Question · Q4 2025
Yue Xu from China Securities Co. asked about the forecasted future margin trend for Agora's AI products, particularly given the current quarter's gross profit margin being dragged down by AI investment. She also inquired about the growth trajectory for AI, specifically for AI toys and customer service applications, and whether an inflection point for adoption has been observed in these verticals.
Answer
Jingbo Wang, CFO of Agora, clarified that conversational AI products have significant margin potential, expecting them to be similar to or higher than core RTE products at normal scale and utilization, with current low margins due to suboptimal scale and ongoing POCs. Regarding AI product adoption, he anticipates growth throughout the year, noting that while the technology is fundamentally ready, engineering efforts are needed for corner cases and use case adaptation. He believes adoption will penetrate more verticals gradually, not through a single turning point, and that declining model costs will not be a blocking factor.
