DingTalk
钉钉
DingTalk is Alibaba's enterprise collaboration platform, founded inside the Alibaba system roughly a decade ago by Chen Hang (known as 无招), who later returned to lead it — per an AI闹 interview with CEO Wu Zhao . Lately it has repositioned itself around AI: in 2025 it launched the DingTalk A1, a "recorder + meeting device + translator + AI assistant" that auto-transcribes speech, extracts to-dos, and feeds everything into DingTalk's document and task workflows — as 十字路口Crossing put it, not a note-taking gadget but a piece of the enterprise digitalization puzzle . By late 2025 it went further with DingTalk Real, a ¥199/month enterprise "Agent OS" host for running office agents, and by 2026 it had been folded into Alibaba's "千问办公" alongside QoderWork and Mulerun . It competes head-on with Lark (Feishu) on AI meeting and recording features, with both effectively subsidizing recording hardware to lay infrastructure, as 葬AI described it .
