On February 1, the DingTalk·2026 Jiangsu Business (Nantong) Entrepreneurs Annual Conference and the High-Quality Development Summit for "Specialized, Sophisticated, and Innovative" Enterprises was held in Nantong. Co-organized by DingTalk and the Jiangsu Provincial Association for Entrepreneurs' Development, this summit focused on core topics such as "AI+" and high-quality development for specialized, sophisticated, and innovative enterprises. It brought together hundreds of industry representatives and experts to discuss digital transformation, intelligent upgrades, and how AI can deeply reshape the future of businesses, supporting these enterprises in achieving sustainable growth.

The Era of Human-Machine Collaboration Has Arrived

Wang Yuan, Secretary-General of Alibaba Research Institute, pointed out during his speech that the era of human-machine collaboration is already here. AI has evolved from a mere tool into a "colleague" within enterprises, marking a shift from "humans using tools" to a new phase of "human-machine collaboration." AI not only replaces repetitive tasks but also establishes private knowledge bases and intelligent operating systems, enabling automated decision-making and intelligent process management, thus comprehensively reshaping enterprise productivity.

Wang Yuan explained that DingTalk has built a closed-loop ecosystem comprising "platform + partners + customers," empowering AI with brain-like decision-making and planning capabilities. Numerous well-known companies, including FAW Group, Sanhua Holdings Group, and Yochan Kogyo, have already achieved human-machine collaboration on the DingTalk platform in the AI era. Computing power serves as the body, while AI interaction acts as the senses—combined, they are ushering in a new civilization of human-machine cooperation.

Data shows that over 80% of China's Fortune 500 companies in the Nantong region are entering the AI era through DingTalk.

AI Assistants Driving Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrades

Gong Man, a solutions expert at DingTalk, shared several practical case studies during the event. She emphasized that in the future, companies will no longer be categorized by size, but simply divided into those that "use AI" and those that don't.

DingTalk’s enterprise AI assistant creation and management platform enables businesses to independently build their own AI assistants while maintaining full control over security, allowing safe operations and centralized management of numerous AI assistants.

Taking Shandong Weiqiao Group—one of China’s top ten private enterprises—as an example, the company has implemented nine industry-level intelligent agents based on DingTalk AI across procurement, production, and supplier management. Through these intelligent agents, Weiqiao Group has achieved automatic Q&A for procurement knowledge, end-to-end data visibility in order processing, and smart linking between product models and delivery progress, significantly improving operational efficiency and advancing manufacturing toward intelligent manufacturing.

Gong Man believes DingTalk AI is an ideal platform to help specialized, sophisticated, and innovative enterprises achieve efficient collaboration and sustained growth.

She also noted that today’s AI advancement extends beyond software into hardware, enabling AI to connect with the physical world. For instance, DingTalk’s hardware device, the DingTalk A1 voice-enabled intelligent assistant, recorded the entire conference automatically and generated meeting minutes and full transcripts afterward. By integrating "software + hardware + enterprise management experience," DingTalk provides comprehensive support across countless industries.

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.
