Alibaba’s international division launched Accio Work, an artificial intelligence agent designed to automate enterprise tasks. The platform manages logistics, executes requests for quotations, and conducts multi-round supplier negotiations.
Accio Work utilizes Alibaba’s e-commerce ecosystem to ensure commercial accuracy and reduce AI hallucinations.
This launch follows heavy investments in AI and cloud infrastructure that caused a recent sharp decline in profits. Chairman Joe Tsai identified AI as a primary growth engine, citing China’s structural advantages in the sector.
The tool represents a strategic move to monetize the company’s AI capabilities despite compressed margins.
