In the past, enterprise digitalization and operational data analysis often relied on structured data: tables, databases, logs.
However, most information in the real world actually exists in the form of natural language: business information flows, communication records, user reviews, product feedback, news...
The first problem enterprises face when promoting digital transformation is how to structure historical unstructured data, but most companies lack this capability. When confronted with vast, diverse, cross-system information records, the digitalization process often struggles to make progress.
What's more complex is that the Chinese market is not a market defined by SaaS. Each enterprise has its own unique management methods, leading to diverse and difficult-to-unify data types.
This creates an awkward reality: SaaS products are misaligned with enterprise needs.
SaaS vendors typically hope to use a set of standardized operational methodologies and software tools to help enterprises complete AI-driven upgrades in production and operations. But what they face are various non-standardized and difficult-to-change enterprise management practices.
The ultimate result is that SaaS vendors can only provide a basic set of software tools and conduct deep customization for different enterprises. This business model represents huge investment and meager profits for software companies.
How AI Changes This Situation
The true value of AI lies in its processing of natural language. It does not require enterprises to first standardize processes; instead, it can directly process unstructured natural language data and transform it into computable, analyzable results.
Simultaneously, it can align the same type of data expressed in different ways.
For example, using multimodal capabilities, it can merge transaction records from Alipay, WeChat Pay, and supermarket receipts into a unified, standardized digital transaction ledger. This not only converts physical world information into digital information but also unifies data of different formats and languages into a single standard format for unified management.
In terms of data processing, AI's capabilities can be summarized into four levels:
Cross-Language Understanding Capability
AI can recognize not only numerical language but also natural language simultaneously. For instance, skills, events, time, objects, and it can understand their true meaning in context, extract key information, and convert it into structured data.
- Example: "Customers frequently complain about delivery delays" would be recognized as [Link=Logistics, Problem=Delay, Sentiment=Negative];
- "Sales have failed to meet targets for three consecutive months" would be recognized as [Metric=Sales, Trend=Decline, Period=3 months].
Structuring Capability
AI can break down vague text into clear data units, converting it into tables or JSON format for easy use by enterprise management systems.
- Original input: "Responsible for team goal setting and performance tracking";
- Conversion result: {Responsibility: Team Management, Action: Goal Setting/Performance Tracking, Object: Team Members}.
Data Alignment Capability
AI can align similar information expressed in different ways, avoiding loss of value due to "different phrasing."
- "Customer feedback," "after-sales issues," "user opinions" → aligned to [Topic: Customer Satisfaction];
- "Insufficient inventory," "out of stock," "supply chain disruption" → aligned to [Problem: Supply Chain Risk].
Data Analysis Capability
After completing structuring and alignment, AI can further calculate and reason about the data, generating valuable conclusions.
- Trend Analysis: The frequency of a certain type of problem is gradually increasing;
- Matching Analysis: A certain result deviates from business requirements;
- Risk Warning: A certain type of negative feedback is concentrated in a specific area.
Case Study: Person-Job Matching (From the Job Seeker's Perspective)
Taking person-job matching within enterprises as an example, in recruitment and job-seeking scenarios, matching positions with resumes is a typical natural language data matching problem. When job seekers browse job postings, traditional methods rely on the job seeker's subjective judgment, which is both time-consuming and prone to being affected by experience and information asymmetry.
Here, a design approach for a person-job matching application is presented.
Demand Analysis: By summarizing the problems job seekers encounter during the job search process, five basic job-seeking needs are abstracted.
- A large number of fake job postings are rampant, wasting time and energy;
- Job Descriptions (JDs) are broad and all-encompassing, making it difficult to assess match;
- Job seekers need to pass HR first before they can speak with the actual hiring department;
- The scope of employment is too narrow, unable to break through the "experience wall";
- Labor dispatch companies disguise themselves as direct-hire recruitment.

Scoring Calculation Method
- Single Item Score = Score × Necessity Weighting
- Total Score = ∑ All weighted single item scores
- Full Score = ∑(10 × Necessity Weighting)
- Person-Job Match Percentage (%) = (Total Score ÷ Full Score) × 100%
Output Results
- Above 80% → High match, worth focusing on applying
- 60–79% → Moderate match, can apply, highlight strengths in interview
- 40–59% → Low match, suitable for trying or accumulating interview experience
- Below 40% → Match too low, not recommended to invest excessive effort
Position Credibility Assessment: Use AI to list key evaluation metrics, score the credibility of recruitment information, and filter out fake job postings or unclear position requirements.
- Requirement clarity and verifiability of recruitment information (whether it includes clear business goals, KPIs);
- Responsibility focus (whether it's broad and all-encompassing or focused on core tasks);
- Details of tools and methodologies (whether real tools, processes, or tech stacks are mentioned);
- Company information transparency (direct hire vs. outsourcing, business info risk, employer reputation, etc.).
Resume and Position Match Calculation: Compare position requirements with the resume item by item, calculating the match percentage.
- Hard Skill Match: Required tools/skills vs. resume skills (e.g., SQL, A/B testing, Electron, etc.);
- Experience Fit: Required industry and years vs. resume experience;
- Project Achievement Alignment: Business goals vs. achievements on resume (whether there are KPIs or case alignments);
- Soft Skill Fit: Whether communication, collaboration, learning abilities are reflected in the resume;
- Transfer Potential: Whether there is cross-industry experience or quick learning cases.
Calculation Method:
- Single Item Score = Score × Necessity Weighting
- Match Percentage (%) = (Total Score ÷ Full Score) × 100%
Analysis Results:
- Above 80%: High match, worth focusing on applying;
- 60–79%: Moderate match, can apply and highlight strengths in interview;
- 40–59%: Low match, can try or accumulate experience;
- Below 40%: Not recommended to invest excessive effort.
Through this method, AI can not only break down vague natural language into calculable metrics but also align different expressions, and conduct quantitative analysis on this basis. This method allows job seekers to objectively assess the true value of a position and also enables enterprises to screen talent more efficiently, achieving bidirectional data-driven decision-making.
More Application Scenarios: From Recruitment to Enterprise Management
Person-job matching is just one entry point for AI's natural language processing in enterprises.
In fact, the vast majority of information in enterprise management exists as natural language: job descriptions, employee weekly reports, customer complaints, supply chain communications, contract terms... If this data remains only at the "text" level, it has almost no computational value or is difficult to utilize. But once parsed, aligned, and structured by AI, it can be transformed into measurable metrics, providing real-time insights and decision support for management.
Recruitment and Human Resource Management
In the recruitment phase, AI can automatically generate position requirements based on project needs within the enterprise. When receiving candidate resumes, it can automatically parse the job description (JD) and candidate resume, convert both into structured data, and calculate the person-job match, thereby helping HR screen suitable candidates faster.
But recruitment is just one part of HR. AI's capabilities can extend to performance and training management. For example, employee OKRs, weekly reports, and evaluation comments are often described in natural language. AI can identify keywords and behavioral patterns within them. For instance, "led the team to complete a cross-departmental collaboration project" can be transformed into "Capability=Cross-departmental Collaboration, Result=Project Delivery." This not only helps in more fairly evaluating performance but also helps enterprises identify skill and knowledge gaps in employees, thereby providing more targeted training.
Customer Relationship and Market Feedback
In customer relationship management, enterprises are often immersed in vast amounts of scattered textual data: customer service tickets, social media comments, user feedback forms, etc. The value of this information is often overlooked, or relies on manual summarization, which is inefficient, incomplete, or misses key details.
AI can automatically perform semantic clustering and sentiment analysis on this textual information, unifying "delivery delay," "slow delivery," "logistics too slow" into the category "logistics problem," while labeling it as negative sentiment. When the frequency of a certain type of problem suddenly increases, AI can provide an early warning, prompting the enterprise to accelerate improvements in the supply chain.
This capability can not only improve customer satisfaction but also provide first-hand market intelligence for product iteration.
Supply Chain and Operations Management
The stability of the supply chain is often reflected in countless communication records and contract texts.
AI can automatically scan procurement contracts, extract key clauses such as delivery dates and liability for breach, thereby quickly identifying potential risks.
Simultaneously, it can also parse informal texts like emails and order conversations. For example, "supplier's recent production capacity is insufficient" can be labeled as "Risk=Unstable Supply."
Once this structured data is further input into operational systems, it can form trend analysis and prediction models, helping management proactively address issues like inventory shortages and transportation delays. For enterprises, this means a significant improvement in risk prevention and control capabilities.
Strategic Decision-Making and Corporate Governance
Management deals with a large volume of documents and meeting minutes daily, with severe information redundancy. AI's value lies in automated extraction and aggregation.
It can extract core topics from dozens of pages of strategic reports, such as "Focus: International Market Expansion," "Risk: Compliance Review." It can also identify communication bottlenecks from cross-departmental email exchanges, discovering overlapping responsibilities or information delays.
This "information compression" capability allows senior management to quickly grasp the overall situation and
