  • Available now as a desktop app or via DingTalk, Wukong serves over 20 million corporate users and will connect to Slack, Microsoft Teams, WeChat, Taobao, and Alipay.
  • Markets reacted quickly, as Alibaba Group shares rose 0.45% to 134.6 Hong Kong dollars amid rising competition from ByteDance, Tencent and Zhipu AI during the recent OpenClaw-driven surge.
  • Several senior departures preceded the launch, with Lin Junyang, Yu Bowen and Hui Binyuan resigning this year; an internal memo on Alizila called the changes a 'historic opportunity' while placing Eddie Wu, Alibaba CEO, in charge.
