/PRZWT/Beijing, October 2025 - Geek Time, a knowledge service platform dedicated to cultivating digital and intelligent talents, is celebrating its eighth anniversary. At this significant milestone, on October 23, 2025, Huo Taiwen, the founder and CEO of Geekbang Technology, officially released the new slogan of GeekBang Time, "Learn AI, Use Geekbang Time", at the QCon Global Software Development Conference Shanghai Station. This is not merely a change in slogan, but also a strategic upgrade of Geeker Time in the AI wave - transforming from "a provider of IT knowledge" to "a navigator for learning and growth in the AI era".
Since its establishment in 2017, Geek Time has been committed to helping developers make the most of fragmented time for systematic learning. Over the past eight years, the platform has grown into a trusted "learning partner" for millions of tech professionals, witnessing countless developers keep pace with the latest industry practices through Geek Time in scenarios such as commuting, waiting, and going to bed.
Huo Taiwen said at the press conference, "The most important reason why GeekTime has come this far is that there is a group of users who are willing to trust, accompany and move forward with us." Eight years ago, we created this platform with the aim of helping tech professionals "do something practical" and making learning a habit. Nowadays, at this critical juncture when the AI technology wave is sweeping in, we need to have a clearer positioning and accompany developers to embrace this new era full of opportunities and challenges.
Innovate service models and build a talent engine for enterprise digitalization and intelligence
While continuously serving individual developers, GeekTime Enterprise Edition has also achieved leapfrog development. In response to the demand for digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises brought about by the AI technology wave, GeekTime has systematically transformed its profound experience accumulated over the years in the personal service field into a new driving force for serving enterprise organizations.
Compared with the flexible and autonomous learning of individuals, the cultivation of digital and intelligent talents in enterprises pays more attention to systematic construction and large-scale effectiveness. To this end, Geek Time has broken through the traditional course output model and innovatively launched a deeply customized AI talent cultivation solution: by holding AI competitions to stimulate learning enthusiasm, setting up AI technology certifications to establish ability standards, and conducting in-enterprise AI training to solve practical business problems, it ensures that every learning experience can be directly transformed into productivity and innovative achievements.
This innovative model has been fully verified by the market. Up to now, Geek Time has successfully served over 4,000 typical clients, with its business covering key industries such as the Internet, finance, manufacturing, and consumption, fully demonstrating its outstanding value in promoting technological upgrading and organizational capability evolution of enterprises.
New strategies for technological learning in the AI era
Since the advent of ChatGPT in November 2022, the development of AI technology has entered an unprecedented period of acceleration. Facing the deluge of information and the dilemma of tool selection, GeekTime has clearly defined its position: in the AI era, it will continue to be a reliable learning partner for developers, embracing new technologies while also adhering to its technological foundation.
We will help you screen out truly valuable content - not only AI, but also the basic courses of supporting technologies such as operating systems, compiler principles, network protocols, and data structures. In a letter to users, Geek Time emphasized, "When technology is evolving, a solid foundation is more important than ever."
Three major measures to build a new learning ecosystem in the AI era
To address the learning demands of the AI era, GeekTime announced that it will focus on promoting three major measures:
Continuously select high-quality global content: The platform will continue to "screen and precisely translate" valuable public materials and practical cases from a vast amount of information, providing users with learning resources that can directly solve problems.
Create more "hands-on" courses: Geek Time will make its courses more scenario-based, clearly demonstrating through real examples how a problem was solved in the past, how it is now solved with AI, where the differences lie, and the comparison of the effects.
Adhere to and update the basic courses: In an era of rapid technological iteration, the platform promises to continue delving into the underlying theories and practices, thoroughly and deeply explaining the unchanging technical fundamentals.
AI technology reshapes the learning experience
Over the past year, Geek Time has deeply integrated AI technology into the product experience:
Search engines have integrated semantic AI search, enabling them to understand users' questions more accurately.
The homepage for new users has added personalized recommendations driven by positions and directions to help users quickly plan their learning paths.
Each course is equipped with a 1-minute AI-guided learning text and audio, significantly saving users' trial-and-error time.
The course audio is more natural and humanized. We have created an AI sound color for the instructors that is closer to the original sound.
Co-create and share, and evolve together with users
Geek Time emphasizes that the platform is never a one-way knowledge transmitter, but a learning ecosystem that evolves together with users. Every comment and feedback from users is influencing the development direction of the platform.
Your confusion, experiences, failures or useful practices when using AI are all our most valuable references. In its letter to users, Geek Time called on them to keep sharing their ideas and provided a dedicated feedback channel to distinguish the different needs of enterprise and individual users.
Looking to the future: Ride the waves forward and live up to time
Behind the brand upgrade lies Geek Time's profound understanding of the essence of technological learning: "AI will not replace the value of 'continuous learning'." It merely poses one question: Are you willing to keep learning and turn it into the driving force that propels you forward?
Looking ahead, Geek Time hopes to work with users to make "Learn AI with Geek Time" a more confident and less lonely way of learning in this era.
May you not be swept away by the waves, but ride them forward. May you be a friend of time and also a friend of Geek Time. This is not only a message for GeekTime's eighth anniversary, but also a beautiful expectation for the growth path of digital and intelligent talents in the AI era.
