What is A1? More than a voice recorder — your AI meeting partner

What is A1? More than a voice recorder — your AI meeting partner— Don't think of it as just another "uh-huh" microphone! Launched by DingTalk in the second half of 2025, the A1 is the ultimate cure for workplace ailments like "zoning out during meetings and forgetting everything afterward." Powered by DingTalk's self-developed AI engine, it does far more than simply store audio—it’s like hiring a triple-threat assistant combining a glasses-wearing stenographer, linguistics PhD, and noise-filtering audio engineer.

While traditional voice recorders merely capture cold, lifeless audio, the A1 understands who is speaking, identifies tone and key points, and even automatically filters out background noises like air conditioner hums or the crunch of a coworker sneaking biscuits. The secret lies in its 6nm low-power AI audio chip, which not only saves energy but also processes speech in real time, enabling lightning-fast voice-to-text conversion—like instant mental translation. This isn’t just a tool; it’s an intelligent meeting companion. By evolving from passive recording to active comprehension, it lays the foundation for real-time translation, smart summarization, and task generation—making the dream of “never taking notes again” a lazy person’s reality.

Fell asleep mid-meeting and woke up to everyone speaking English? No worries! The A1 acts like your personal AI interpreter, fluently handling Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, and Spanish, even decoding accented "Singaporean English" with impressive accuracy. It doesn’t just convert sound to text—it delivers a live bilingual subtitle show. Speak Chinese, and the screen instantly displays English translation. Your foreign client nods enthusiastically, as if watching a real-time episode of *Diplomatic风云*.

This magic is powered by the 6nm-chip-enhanced AI audio system, capable of distinguishing “budget cut in half” from “overtime until we drop,” even amid coffee machine roars and coworkers interrupting. In tests involving a three-party conference call, the A1 simultaneously transcribed three languages with such high accuracy that human translators questioned their career choices. Even more impressive? It translates while recording—no post-meeting “proofreading hell.” The time saved could let you binge two K-dramas and still squeeze in a nap.



No More After-Hours Work: AI Automatically Generates Summaries and Structured Notes

"The moment the meeting ends, my brain shuts down." Sounds like a joke, but for professionals attending three meetings a day, it’s daily reality. Now, the A1 doesn’t just record every word—it’s smart enough to grasp the soul of the meeting. It doesn’t record audio. It reads minds.

The A1’s AI cuts through chaotic conversations like a detective, pinpointing critical clues such as “Who did the boss just assign this to?” or “Was the deadline next Wednesday or month-end?” It automatically organizes discussion threads into structured records: Issue → Decision → Owner → Deadline. Tasks are neatly listed, as if a silent secretary were typing furiously in the corner.

Unlike humans who often miss offhand comments like “oh, and handle that thing too,” the A1 is actually more attentive. After interviews, you no longer rely on memory for evaluations. Hidden client needs from consultations get flagged. Training sessions instantly become searchable knowledge bases. The moment a meeting wraps up, the report is already generated—and can be一键 imported into project management tools. While others are rewinding recordings, you’re already out the door with a beer in hand.

Who Needs A1 Most? Five Real-World Workplace Scenarios

Dozing off in meetings isn’t the real problem—missing key points is the disaster. That’s when the A1 stops being just a speech-to-text gadget and becomes a workplace survival cheat code!
Imagine a sales visit where a client says, “I’ll think about it,” with hesitation in their voice. The A1 captures every word and marks shifts in tone, helping you replay and spot subtle buying signals later. Even better? Verbal commitments on delivery timelines are automatically turned into tasks sent straight to your inbox—eliminating the “Did I really say that?” debate once and for all.

  • Customer interviews: When users complain, “It’s too complicated to operate,” the A1 instantly tags this as a “pain point keyword” and files it under product improvement—saving R&D teams from digging through two hours of audio;
  • Hiring managers: While sipping coffee and nodding, they might miss details—but the A1 quietly logs when a candidate mentions “independently completed API integration,” and the AI automatically flags “technical skills + project experience,” ensuring fair, data-backed evaluations;
  • Internal meetings: After heated debates over responsibilities, the A1 has already parsed “Xiao Wang handles the PPT, submit by Friday” into a task card synced to DingTalk Calendar;
  • Training sessions: Trainees replay the “three-step pricing logic” segment ten times, while trainers instantly export the transcript as teaching material—saving three days of manual work.

High verbal density doesn’t mean your brain has to overload. With A1, give your ears a break and double your output.

Using DingTalk: Before & After

Before

  • × Team Chaos: Team members are all busy with their own tasks, standards are inconsistent, and the more communication there is, the more chaotic things become, leading to decreased motivation.
  • × Info Silos: Important information is scattered across WhatsApp/group chats, emails, Excel spreadsheets, and numerous apps, often resulting in lost, missed, or misdirected messages.
  • × Manual Workflow: Tasks are still handled manually: approvals, scheduling, repair requests, store visits, and reports are all slow, hindering frontline responsiveness.
  • × Admin Burden: Clocking in, leave requests, overtime, and payroll are handled in different systems or calculated using spreadsheets, leading to time-consuming statistics and errors.

After

  • Unified Platform: By using a unified platform to bring people and tasks together, communication flows smoothly, collaboration improves, and turnover rates are more easily reduced.
  • Official Channel: Information has an "official channel": whoever is entitled to see it can see it, it can be tracked and reviewed, and there's no fear of messages being skipped.
  • Digital Agility: Processes run online: approvals are faster, tasks are clearer, and store/on-site feedback is more timely, directly improving overall efficiency.
  • Automated HR: Clocking in, leave requests, and overtime are automatically summarized, and attendance reports can be exported with one click for easy payroll calculation.
