Youlife shares rise 11.14% intraday after partnering with VCI Global to develop AI and robotics-driven workforce-as-a-service platform targeting ASEAN labor shortages.

think> Okay, so I need to transform this Chinese text into a concise news headline following the given rules. Let me start by reading through the input carefully. The company name is Youlife, and the percentage change is 11.13636364%, which I need to round to two decimal places. That would be 11.14%. The time period is intraday, so I should mention that. The reason for the price movement is the announcement of a non-binding letter of intent with VCI Global to develop a robotics-driven Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform. They're integrating AI, robotics, and human management to address labor shortages in ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific. Also, Youlife is a leading provider of blue-collar services in China, expanding into industrial automation and labor transformation. The ASEAN robotics market is expected to grow with a 9.37% CAGR from 2025-2029, reaching over $2.1 billion by 2029, offering growth opportunities. Now, applying the rules: keep the company name as Youlife. Round the percentage to 11.14%. Time period is intraday. The reason should be brief but include key points: the collaboration with VCI Global, the WaaS platform, integration of AI and robotics, targeting labor shortages in ASEAN and Asia-Pacific. Also mention Youlife's role as a leading provider and the market growth projection. Wait, the example output includes the company's focus, so maybe I should include that as well. Let me check the example again. The example had the company's focus in the second paragraph. But the user's instruction says to provide a brief reason for the price movement. So maybe the key points are the collaboration and the market growth. But I need to be concise. Let me structure it as: Youlife surged 11.14% intraday after announcing a non-binding agreement with VCI Global to develop a robotics-driven Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform, integrating AI and robotics to address labor shortages in ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific. As a leading blue-collar services provider in China, the company is expanding into industrial automation and labor transformation, with the ASEAN robotics market projected to grow at 9.37% CAGR through 2029. Wait, the user's example had the company's focus in the second paragraph, but the rules don't specify. The example's output had two paragraphs. But the user's instruction says to transform into a concise news headline. So maybe it's better to keep it in one paragraph. Let me check the rules again. The rules mention "a brief reason for the price movement, retaining key information." So the key info is the collaboration, the platform, the integration of AI and robotics, the target region, and the market growth. Also, the company's role as a leading provider in China. Hmm. Let me make sure to include all that without being too verbose. I think the example had two sentences after the percentage and time period. Maybe I can structure it similarly. Let me try: Youlife surged 11.14% intraday, driven by the announcement of a non-binding agreement with VCI Global to develop a robotics-driven Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform. The platform integrates AI, robotics, and human management to address labor shortages in ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific, with Youlife, a leading blue-collar services provider in China, expanding into industrial automation. The ASEAN robotics market is projected to grow at a 9.37% CAGR through 2029, reaching over $2.1 billion. Wait, the percentage is 11.14%, and the time period is intraday. The example used "surged" for a 4.23% increase. So using "surged" here is appropriate. Also, the example included the date of the agreement, but in the input here, the date is January 28, 2026. Should I include that? The example didn't include the date, just the fact that the subsidiary signed an agreement. The rules don't mention including dates, so maybe it's optional. The user's example didn't include the date, so perhaps I can omit it here. The key is the collaboration and the reason for the price movement. So the final version would be: Youlife surged 11.14% intraday, driven by the announcement of a non-binding agreement with VCI Global to develop a robotics-driven Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform. The platform integrates AI, robotics, and human management to address labor shortages in ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific. Youlife, a leading blue-collar services provider in China, is expanding into industrial automation and labor transformation, with the ASEAN robotics market projected to grow at a 9.37% CAGR through.
