Alibaba Group on Tuesday introduced a new enterprise-focused artificial intelligence platform aimed at automation, ramping up competition in China’s fast-growing AI agent market amid the surge in popularity of OpenClaw.
The platform, named Wukong, is designed to orchestrate multiple AI agents to perform complex business tasks—such as document editing, spreadsheet management, meeting transcription, and research—within a single interface. It is currently available through an invitation-only beta.
The launch follows Alibaba’s recent restructuring under the newly formed Alibaba Token Hub (ATH) unit, highlighting a broader push into enterprise AI agents. Wukong serves as the flagship product of the Wukong Business Unit within ATH.
Users can access the platform as a standalone desktop application or via DingTalk, which has over 20 million corporate users. It will also integrate with services like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WeChat.
The move comes as OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent tool, has recently gained traction across China, driving strong user interest and experimentation. This trend has prompted several tech firms—including ByteDance, Tencent, and AI startup Zhipu—to roll out similar offerings, even as regulators caution about potential security risks.
