Hire an AI China market localization planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A signal table showing what is rising, on which platform, and whether it looks lasting or a short flash
• Buyer needs, pain points and risk words taken from the comments you pasted
• A list of actions with a priority from P0 to P5, effort, week and the number to measure
• A Douyin video script and a Xiaohongshu post template, ready to fill in
• A table of risk words with a prepared reply for customer service
• A launch checklist in phases, with a go or no-go point at each phase

How it does the job well

• Platform rules, ad tools, algorithms and seasonal dates change. Mark them CONFIRM: unless the user's data shows them.
• Advertising law, filing rules and data rules are not for you to rule on. Mark them for a lawyer who works in China. Do not write claims that a platform or a law may ban.
• Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
• Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.
• Every claim needs proof the business can show. Leave unproven claims out or mark them.
• Judge results against the business goal, such as profit or qualified leads, not clicks alone.

Mistakes it avoids

• Generic copy that could fit any brand.
• Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
• Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You want to sell a product in China and do not know whether to start on Douyin, Xiaohongshu or WeChat.

• Signal table. Each trend with platform, rank, direction, age and whether a second platform confirms it.
• Dual-track analysis. Which content formats work, and the needs, pain points and risk words found in comments.
• Actions. A ranked list with priority, effort, week and the number that shows if it worked.
• Content templates. A Douyin script and a Xiaohongshu post template, filled in for your product.
• Risk and FAQ table. Words that signal trouble, with a prepared customer-service reply for each.
• Launch checklist. Phases with tasks, a go or no-go test and a budget share for each.

How the work is checked

• Every claim traces to the brand brain or supplied evidence.
• Each recommendation states the expected effect, the cost and how it will be measured.
• Copy fits the platform's length limits and the brand voice.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Sort the signals. It logs each trend with its platform, rank, direction and age. It calls a trend lasting only when it shows on two or more platforms.
• Read content and comments. It checks which formats and keywords get attention, then pulls needs, pain points and risk words from the comments.
• Match platform to job. It gives each app one job in the buyer's path, such as awareness, research, buying or keeping customers.
• Rank the actions. It writes each action with a priority, effort, timing and a number to measure. It shows the sums from your own figures.
• Draft the templates. It fills a Douyin script and a Xiaohongshu post template for your product, using the pain points it found.
• Plan the phases. It sets checklist gates from checking the signal to running the business, with a go or no-go point and budget share for each.
• List what is unchecked. It names every ranking, price or platform rule it could not confirm from your data.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your product, its category and its price
• Your target buyer and the city tiers you aim for, such as big cities or smaller ones
• Your budget range and how many people are on the team
• Screenshots or pasted lists from the hot charts of Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Bilibili or Zhihu, with the date (optional, and without them you get a plan shell and a list of what to collect)
• 20 to 30 buyer comments about your category or your rivals, copied from those apps (optional)
• Channels you already use, and claims or topics you must avoid (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• Screenshots of the same chart taken on two or three different days, to show direction.
• Comments from your rivals' posts as well as your own category.
• Your real sales or ad costs if you have sold in China before.

Tools and access

• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini with image upload: You can attach screenshots of Chinese hot charts and comments and it reads them directly.
• An AI with web search: It can look up current trends itself. You still check each source it names. Do not ask it to scrape the apps or get around a login. Platform terms of use can forbid automated collection, so collect by hand if unsure.

Functions and deliverables

  • A count of results and the file name and location

  • The answer or the work, in Peter Thiel's voice, using their ideas by name
  • Anything that goes beyond their public record, marked

Tasks you can use it for

• You want to sell a product in China and do not know whether to start on Douyin, Xiaohongshu or WeChat.
• You have screenshots or lists from China's hot charts and comments, and want product picks and content ideas out of them.
• You are a solo founder or small team and need a launch plan that works in one-week steps.
• A product is rising on TikTok and you want to know if China has the same demand and what to change.

Limits to check before starting

• You already run a China store and want help with daily operations. Use the China ecommerce operations planner.
• You ship goods across borders and need customs, tax and shipping rules. Use the Cross-border ecommerce planner.
• You promote health products and need ads checked for banned claims. Use the China healthcare marketing reviewer.
• Your product is not for China or Chinese apps. Use the New country expansion planner.
• You need legal advice on advertising law or company filings. Ask a lawyer who works in China.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack from this page and add it to your AI as a skill. If you cannot, paste SKILL.md into a new chat, then paste references/source-agent.md after it.
• Collect your data first, by hand or from data you are allowed to use. Open the hot charts in each app, screenshot or copy the top entries for your category, and note the date. Repeat on two or three different days, because one snapshot cannot show which way a trend is moving. Copy 20 to 30 comments from the top posts. You can attach screenshots and the AI reads the Chinese text.
• Paste your product facts, budget and team size with the data, and type "Write the China market entry brief."
• Check each signal against the screenshot it came from. A trend seen on only one platform stays marked unconfirmed, so treat it as a test and not a plan.
• Before you publish, check advertising rules and claims with someone who knows Chinese law. The AI publishes and spends nothing.
