As an AI-native application powered by Ant Group’s BaiLing foundation model, Zhixiaobao is designed to make everyday tasks easier through user-friendly interactions. Through typing or voice chat in Zhixiaobao, users can order meals, hail taxis, book tickets, and discover local dining and entertainment options, accessing third-party services in Alipay more easily.
The app also provides a number of built-in AI agents, each with specific domain knowledge that makes them an expert in their own fields. For example, the “English Language Tutor” agent can help users make a learning plan and provide tips for learning the language. The “Fitness Pro” agent can help users design workout routines and come up with personalized training advice.
"The evolution of AI extends beyond mere technological progress, it’s about applying these advancements to practical, user-focused solutions. Alipay is committed to harnessing AI’s potential to improve the user experience, ensuring that AI assistants like Zhixiaobao become valuable tools in everyday life for all," said Cyril Han, President of Ant Group.
To use Zhixiaobao’s services, users can either download the dedicated mobile app, or simply pull down the home page of the Alipay app.
In addition to Zhixiaobao, Ant Group also introduced other AI-powered products and solutions at the INCLUSION Conference.
