DingTalk launches Wukong education solution, AI agents to enter 220,000 schools

On May 12, the 2026 World Digital Education Conference opened in Hangzhou. Hosted by China's Ministry of Education and the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government, Alibaba Group and the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education jointly organized the parallel session titled "Intelligence Transformation, Collaboration, and Good Governance: Global Enterprises Empowering the Future of Education." DingTalk participated alongside education administrators, renowned school principals, and leading scholars from around the world to discuss how intelligent technologies can promote educational equity and enhance quality. At the event, DingTalk officially launched its Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution, leveraging AI to reshape the entire teaching cycle.

Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution: AI Empowering Four Core Educational Scenarios

According to Cao Jian, General Manager of DingTalk Education, the Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution is the first AI-powered solution for the education sector launched under the Wukong brand. Specifically designed for school environments, this solution connects internal data sources such as school-based resource libraries, knowledge bases, and academic management systems. By deeply integrating campus data, it provides frontline teachers and administrators with comprehensive AI assistance throughout their workflows.

The Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution integrates AI deeply into four core educational scenarios, delivering holistic efficiency improvements for schools and educational institutions:

In Teaching

AI has evolved beyond being merely a supportive tool—it now acts as an intelligent teaching assistant for every educator. Capable of listening to classroom content in real time and accurately capturing changes in student learning progress, AI supports teachers through features like AI-powered lesson observation and evaluation and Super Mode, enabling more precise instructional design and more efficient classroom management.

In Research

Faced with the overwhelming tasks of literature review and data analysis, AI significantly reduces the time required for organizing academic resources and enables deeper insights into data, substantially enhancing research productivity for educators and researchers alike.

In Service Delivery

From admissions inquiries to alumni management, from process approvals to information retrieval, AI handles numerous repetitive administrative tasks, allowing educational institutions to accomplish workloads that previously required multiple teams with much leaner staffing.

In Management

Routine management tasks such as attendance tracking, class scheduling, and operational data analysis—once time-consuming and labor-intensive—can now be completed with a single click via AI. This truly frees managers from mundane duties so they can focus on higher-value decision-making and innovation.

Specifically within concrete teaching contexts, the Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution spans the pre-class, in-class, and post-class phases. Before class, it assists teachers in lesson preparation by automatically generating and optimizing lesson plans based on school-specific resources and curriculum standards, reducing repetitive labor. During class, it conducts detailed AI-powered lesson observations and real-time teaching analysis, automatically producing class summaries and personalized exercises to help teachers better understand student learning progress. After class, it helps grade assignments and generates precise learning analytics reports based on students’ responses, providing data-driven support for differentiated instruction.

DingTalk’s deep engagement in the education sector has a long history. To date, DingTalk serves 1,800 district and county education bureaus, 220,000 primary and secondary schools and kindergartens across China, reaching 8 million teachers and 140 million student parents. It also supports 1,700 higher education institutions. From education bureaus to schools, from teachers to parents, DingTalk has built a comprehensive digital education service network covering the full chain of “bureau–school–teacher–student–family.” The Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution is poised to become one of the most widely adopted digital infrastructure platforms in China’s education sector.

Moving Toward an “AI-Native” Era

The launch of the Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution marks DingTalk Education’s transition from “digital collaboration” into a new era of being “AI-native.” Unlike traditional educational IT tools, this solution does not simply add an AI module onto existing processes. Instead, it reconstructs the entire teaching workflow around AI agents. Teachers are no longer just operators of AI—they are collaborators. Educators can focus on the essence of teaching: understanding students, designing instruction, and stimulating critical thinking, while repetitive tasks such as data processing, document organization, and learning analysis are handled by Wukong.

Secure and Compliant, Protecting Privacy

In addition, the Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution inherits the enterprise-grade security architecture of the Wukong platform. When AI agents operate within school environments, they automatically comply with institutional data permission rules. All operations are executed within secure sandboxes, ensuring the privacy and security of师生 data. This design enables compliant deployment even in highly sensitive public school settings where data security requirements are extremely strict.

Building a New Paradigm for Smart Education

The Wukong Education Scenario Product Solution not only delivers an all-in-one smart education platform but also launches an education-specific skills marketplace. This marketplace aggregates a rich set of AI-powered educational skills co-created and shared by frontline educators, comprehensively covering teaching, research, and management—the three core areas of education. By harnessing the power of AI, it drives end-to-end transformation across the education ecosystem, aiming to establish a new paradigm for smart education.

During the parallel session “Global Enterprises Empowering the Future of Education,” Cao Jian moderated a roundtable discussion featuring representatives from Huawei, Zhipu AI, TAL Education, Yungu School, and a scholar from the UK. They engaged in in-depth dialogue on three central themes: “How Can Technology Truly Be Implemented?” “How Should Talent Be Cultivated?” and “How Can the World Learn from Each Other?” Panelists shared cutting-edge perspectives and practical experiences across three dimensions—educational new infrastructure, talent development reform, and global collaboration with ethical governance—earning strong recognition from the audience.

Several DingTalk clients also took center stage at the conference—Hangzhou Shangcheng District Education Bureau and Yungu School delivered keynote presentations. Institutions including Zhejiang University, China Academy of Art, Chunhui Primary School, Hangzhou No.7 Middle School, and Yanglingzi School—all long-term DingTalk customers—shared their digital transformation journeys, which formed part of the “Digital Education Hangzhou Tour.”

Meanwhile, DingTalk had a dedicated booth at the Global Digital Education Achievements Exhibition, showcasing its precision teaching solution powered by AI-based assignment grading machines and its evidence-based teaching research solution built on DingTalk AI Voice Recording Cards.
