Tencent Cloud CSS provides native AI digital human support — not a third-party bolt-on. This means:
| Time Slot | Human Host | AI Digital Human |
|---|---|---|
| Prime time (7–11 PM) | $2,000–$10,000 revenue | $1,500–$8,000 revenue |
| Off-peak (11 PM–7 AM) | $0 (no host available) | $500–$3,000 revenue |
| Weekday daytime | $500–$2,000 revenue | $400–$1,800 revenue |
| Monthly total | $25,000–$60,000 | $35,000–$80,000 |
The key insight: AI digital humans don't just replace human hosts during prime time — they create revenue from hours that previously generated zero.
| Cost | Human Team (monthly) | AI Digital Human (monthly) |

| Host salary | $3,000–$10,000 | $0 |
| Production crew | $2,000–$5,000 | $0 |
