Ant Group launched the AI-native Zhixiaobao mobile app that aims to help users connect with all kinds of life services on Alipay.
Available for download from iOS and Android app stores, the app is designed to make everyday tasks easier through user-friendly interactions. For example, users can type or use voice chat to order meals, book taxis and tickets, and discover local dining and entertainment options.
Zhixiaobao also provides a number of built-in AI agents, each with specific domain knowledge that makes them an expert in their own fields. Its English Language Tutor agent can help users create a learning plan and provide tips for learning the language, while the Fitness Pro agent can design workout routines and come up with personalised 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.
