Alibaba adds ChatGPT-style AI to meeting assistant app with wider roll-out plans including DingTalk integration


Alibaba is adding generative artificial intelligence to its meeting assistant app Tingwu to help it summarise recordings. The features are expected to soon be integrated into Slack-like DingTalk as competition ramps up with other domestic players like Baidu. — SCMP

Alibaba Group Holding has started baking its ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence (AI) into a range of service offerings, including meeting assistant Tingwu and Slack-like office collaboration platform DingTalk, as local technology firms ratchet up efforts to promote their own flavours of generative AI.

The Hangzhou-based ecommerce giant, which owns the South China Morning Post, said on Thursday that it integrated its large language model (LLM) Tongyi Qianwen into Tingwu, which records and transcribes meetings. It was originally launched in October 2021, when online conference calls were still the norm in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.
