In his opening remarks, Wu Nanqing, Director of the Yunnan Provincial Data Bureau and the Yunnan Provincial Data Development Promotion Center, stated that we are currently in a critical period of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation driven by artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing. He expressed his hope that this DingTalk Summit will serve as an opportunity to seize strategic AI opportunities, using data as a bridge and collaboration as a driving force, to propel various industries in Yunnan toward a leap from informatization to digitalization and intelligentization, jointly writing a new chapter of high-quality development for "Digital Yunnan."

Youxianmeijia is a well-known fruit supply chain platform based in Kunming, integrating retail chains, wholesale trade, and e-commerce technology into one. It is also a deep user of DingTalk. Lou Weihao, the company's Online Operations Director, shared his practical experience on how to drive AI transformation through DingTalk.

Since introducing DingTalk in 2023, Youxianmeijia has expanded from 216 stores with an annual revenue of 360 million yuan to 300 stores and over 1,000 employees by the end of 2025, with total revenue exceeding 400 million yuan.

With DingTalk's digital tools, the company has optimized standardized store operating procedures and built a DingTalk-based business school training system, significantly improving training efficiency. At the same time, DingTalk's store inspection feature has strengthened management execution and supervision effectiveness.

Lou Weihao particularly praised DingTalk's AI transcription and AI spreadsheet features: "Now we use AI transcription at every meeting to automatically generate text-and-image records and instantly create to-do items, greatly improving information transmission and task tracking efficiency."

In addition, DingTalk's AI spreadsheet can instantly integrate online operational data, providing clear rankings for different regions and stores, helping the company continuously optimize customer service quality.

Xiong Lianglin, Vice President of Yunnan Open University

Xiong Lianglin, Vice President of Yunnan Open University, introduced the school's practical achievements in building a "digital and intelligent campus with unified integration" using DingTalk. He pointed out that in the past, the campus had dozens of independently operating information systems, requiring teachers and students to install multiple apps, with scattered access points for frequently used functions, resulting in a poor mobile office experience and limited collaboration efficiency.

"We wanted to integrate all services into a single super app, covering hundreds of thousands of students, including vocational students, distance learners, and community cadre trainees, but the challenge was immense."

DingTalk successfully helped realize this vision. Through the "Digital and Intelligent YunKai App" built on DingTalk, various campus systems have been integrated into a unified digital platform, significantly enhancing collaboration efficiency between teachers and students.

The app supports diverse teaching systems—whether it's on-campus online courses or overseas vocational education programs—all accessible through a single platform. After logging in, overseas students can also participate in classroom interactions and submit assignments.

Based on DingTalk's multilingual support and AI technology, the platform can automatically recognize video and voice, generate subtitles, and translate them into multiple languages in real time. For example, a high-quality Chinese course can generate English subtitles with a single click, accelerating the internationalization of courses and breaking down language barriers.

Developed based on DingTalk's AI, the "YunKai Assistant" has three intelligent functions: First, it integrates school rules and administrative processes to build a dedicated knowledge base; second, it enables intelligent Q&A, accurately understanding user intent and responding quickly; third, it supports multilingual switching—for example, if a Vietnamese student asks a question in Vietnamese, the system will respond in the same language.

Xiong Lianglin emphasized that DingTalk has become an important hub connecting people and services, providing a one-stop service experience from learning interaction to administrative affairs. The deep integration of AI has turned the "Digital and Intelligent YunKai App" into a personalized smart terminal for every teacher and student.

On December 23, 2025, the AI DingTalk 1.1 New Product Launch and Ecosystem Conference was held in Hangzhou, where DingTalk officially launched Agent OS—the world's first enterprise intelligent operating system designed specifically for AI—marking the arrival of a new work model of "human-AI collaboration."

As a smart collaboration platform with 700 million users and covering 26 million enterprise organizations, DingTalk has been deeply engaged in China's enterprise digital transformation for more than a decade, accumulating rich practical experience.

Zhao Zhong, Vice President of DingTalk

Zhao Zhong, Vice President of DingTalk, positions DingTalk as the enterprise operating system of the AI era. He said that the team is reshaping the underlying collaboration architecture with the concept of "AI + DingTalk" rather than "DingTalk + AI." Through applications such as AI spreadsheets, AI transcription, and AI hardware, artificial intelligence is deeply embedded into business processes, moving toward a new paradigm of "human-assisted AI work." He proposed a "three-step approach to AI implementation," aiming to achieve an AI system in which agents collaborate with each other, leading enterprises from a "data-driven" stage to a new phase of "AI for all."

Zhou Hua, Senior Expert of Yunnan Yunling

Professor Zhou Hua, an authority in the field of AI and a senior expert of Yunnan Yunling, believes that DingTalk is an outstanding platform in the AI era, possessing "listening, speaking, reading, and writing" capabilities and comprehensively integrating "text, images, audio, and video." He pointed out that the widely popular DingTalk AI spreadsheet is essentially a low-threshold application development platform—accessible to everyone and capable of being created by everyone. As an educator, he feels deeply that DingTalk has not only revolutionized working methods but also opened up innovative learning models, demonstrating tremendous potential in teaching and research in the AI era.
