Have you ever experienced this situation:
AI tools are popping up everywhere—Claude, Qwen, various large models keep emerging... Yet these technologies seem to stay confined to your personal computer, with no connection to your team's daily collaboration.
When someone asks a question in the group chat, you still have to respond yourself; after a script finishes running, you still need to send notifications manually; AI helps you get work done, but it can’t share results with your colleagues in real time.
This “last mile” disconnect has held so many people back, hasn’t it?
Rethinking the Process
In the past, setting up an intelligent robot within DingTalk felt dauntingly complex:
Create a developer account → Fill out an approval form → Configure permissions → Set up a server → Write callback interfaces → Debug webhooks → Go live and maintain...
Completing this entire workflow could take anywhere from three days to a full week. Before you even start using it, you’re already exhausted.
"I just wanted Claude to help my team solve a few technical issues, but I spent two whole days just configuring the environment—and ended up giving up,"
— A genuine sentiment from a tech team leader.
As a result, most people’s AI applications remain stuck on their personal desktops—helping only themselves, not the entire team.
Then DingTalk DWS arrived—no backend code required, no server rental needed. Just type a few commands on your local terminal, and your AI capabilities are instantly “mapped” to a DingTalk bot. Mention it in a group chat, and the AI behind it responds immediately!
DWS (dingtalk-workspace-cli) is a command-line tool launched by DingTalk that wraps all of DingTalk’s features—including group chats, messages, documents, calendars, spreadsheets, approvals, attendance, and more—into a simple set of commands.
It’s not just a developer’s power tool; it’s a “universal remote control” anyone on your team can master.
The most compelling feature? With a single command, you can turn any locally running AI into an “intelligent spokesperson” for your DingTalk group. No servers, no callbacks, and no app approval process required.
No abstract concepts—let’s dive straight into the practical steps!
Step 1: Install DWS in One Minute
No matter if you’re on Mac, Linux, or Windows, installation takes just one command. Even better—you can hand the command off to a local AI assistant to execute (we recommend tools like Qoder or Wukong that support offline operation for data security):
# Mac / Linux (copy and paste directly to your AI assistant)
