DingTalk

DingTalk is Alibaba's enterprise collaboration platform, currently being remade around AI agents under the leadership of Wu Zhao (无招), who returned to helm the product with what one observer described as a "tinkerer's" appetite for experimentation . The platform is being repositioned from traditional list-based workflows toward an AI-native operating system: at an end-2025 event, Wu unveiled DingTalk Real, a dedicated enterprise hardware device pitched as the "world's first enterprise AI hardware built for agents," running multiple agents with unified permission and data-access controls across an organization's devices . The software layer is being restructured as an Agent OS with a development platform allowing companies to train and deploy custom agents on their own data . Elsewhere's corpus also notes partnerships with Xiaobing for digital-human integration and CoolCollege for enterprise training scenarios , though the depth of current integration is unclear. The 199 yuan monthly pricing for the Real device drew particular commentary as characteristically aggressive .
