On September 25, the 4th Global Digital Trade Expo opened in Hangzhou. As the only national-level expo in China dedicated to digital trade, this year’s event brought together cutting-edge digital technologies and AI innovations from around the world, creating a “black-tech carnival” that blends the present with the future.
AI DingTalk 1.0 debuts; DingTalk A1 becomes the center of attention
Alibaba’s DingTalk showcased its newly released AI DingTalk 1.0 at the main exhibition hall, with the first AI hardware device, DingTalk A1, emerging as the star product. The device drew countless international business visitors eager to experience it firsthand, and long lines formed in front of the booth, making it one of the most sought-after items at the expo.
Slim design, powerful functionality packed in
This AI voice recorder, just 3.8 mm thick—about the size of a few stacked credit cards—integrates four functions: voice recorder, meeting device, translator, and AI assistant. When paired with DingTalk’s AI transcription feature, it enables end-to-end intelligent processing, including voice-to-text conversion, multilingual translation, content summarization, and AI-driven analysis.
Equipped with a 6nm low-power AI audio chip and a 6-microphone array, the device supports ultra-long-distance audio pickup, offers up to 45 hours of recording time, and provides up to 60 days of battery life—combining portability with high performance.
Smart translation and speech recognition attract global attention
International business visitors showed strong interest in DingTalk A1’s real-time speech-to-text and multilingual translation features, which are especially suited for cross-border meetings, effectively giving users a personal simultaneous interpreter on the go. These capabilities are powered by a speech recognition model jointly developed by DingTalk and the Tongyi Lab, trained on 100 million hours of audio data, enabling precise recognition of dozens of languages and regional accents worldwide.
Applications across multiple scenarios, boosting work efficiency
DingTalk A1 targets a wide range of users, including business professionals, lawyers, customer service representatives, and content creators. It comes preloaded with more than 30 scenario-specific smart note templates, suitable for meetings, interviews, classrooms, legal consultations, client visits, job interviews, and many other use cases.
The device also features over 10 AI assistants with different roles, capable of analyzing communication processes, generating automated workflows, and storing AI analysis results in a knowledge base or AI spreadsheet, enabling closed-loop information management.
A tech company executive from Brazil marveled on-site: “China’s AI development is moving so fast—it’s truly eye-opening! This kind of AI voice recorder is not only cleverly designed but also beautifully crafted. I hope it can be launched in the Brazilian market soon to help us improve our productivity.”
Showcasing China’s AI innovation prowess
DingTalk’s exhibit this time goes beyond the deep integration of AI software and hardware; it signals a transformation in how work is conducted globally in the AI era. Many international visitors noted that the speed of AI application development in China is astonishing, and DingTalk’s innovations provide a new pathway for businesses worldwide to engage with artificial intelligence.
