KICKER
Kicker
Kicker is an AI agent product founded by Liu Jiabei (Alex), a 28-year-old serial entrepreneur who previously founded the tech media outlet "Suyuan Yuxin" and built a game with 1 million registered users that received North American seed funding . The product connects to users' calendars, emails, and chat records, then actively intervenes in their lives through a "toxic friend" persona—roasting and nagging them to tackle procrastination and become who they want to be . Yunqi Capital investor Wei Xin (Gavin) met Alex in winter 2025, downloaded the TestFlight that same night, and was impressed by the team's daily midnight update cadence; Kicker became one of the first investments under Yunqi's "Y Transformers" program for post-'98 founders . The team later rebuilt its technical architecture in six days following the launch of OpenClaw .
