The Beijing News Shell Finance reported (by journalist Luo Yidan) that on March 17, Alibaba launched the world’s first enterprise-grade AI native work platform—“Wukong,” enabling every team and company to have a 24-hour working “lobster army.” Wukong is an independent application that starts inviting testing today and will be directly integrated into DingTalk, which serves over 20 million enterprise organizations.

DingTalk CEO Chen Hang stated: “Today, we are breaking DingTalk apart and rebuilding it with AI, forging ‘Wukong.’ In the past, people used DingTalk to work; in the future, AI will use DingTalk to work. Unlike all the lobster agents on the market, Wukong is inherently embedded in enterprise organizations and can be safely used in real corporate environments.”

Specifically, DingTalk has rewritten its underlying code and undergone a comprehensive CLI (command-line interface) transformation, allowing the Wukong Agent to natively operate thousands of capabilities on DingTalk, rather than simulating human clicks on a graphical interface, achieving “communication equals execution.” Wukong fully supports connecting users’ DingTalk accounts, secure access permissions, and application systems within enterprises. Meanwhile, Alibaba’s ecosystem business’s ToB capabilities will gradually be embedded into the platform in the form of skills, serving as a unified outlet for Alibaba’s AI capabilities in enterprise work scenarios.

Beike Finance reporters noted that this is another official announcement from Alibaba moving closer to “lobster.” On March 16, Alibaba officially established the Alibaba Token Hub (ATH) business group, directly overseen by CEO Wu Yongming, to comprehensively promote the implementation of AI (artificial intelligence) strategy. This adjustment revealed the mysterious “Wukong Business Unit,” which is positioned to create a B-end (enterprise-facing) AI native work platform.

Now, the “Wukong” platform’s debut proves that beyond the C-end Q&A, Alibaba is also deeply integrating AI capabilities into enterprise workflows, focusing on the B-end AI application market.
