From December 5 to 7, the 23rd "China Entrepreneur" Influential Entrepreneurs Annual Conference (formerly the China Enterprise Leaders Annual Conference) was held in Beijing. This year's conference used DingTalk's first AI hardware, the DingTalk A1, along with DingTalk AI Listening to record the entire event and generate meeting minutes, marking the first time in the conference's 22-year history that AI has been used for recording.

The First Entrepreneurial Conference Recorded by AI

The "China Entrepreneur" Influential Entrepreneurs Annual Conference, formerly known as the "China Enterprise Leaders Annual Conference," was founded in 2002 by China Entrepreneur Magazine. Dubbed "China's Davos," it is one of the most influential annual events in China's business community. The magazine, launched in 1985, is a publication directly affiliated with Economic Daily and one of the earliest magazines in China to bear the title "Entrepreneur." It holds significant influence among entrepreneurs. This year marks the magazine's 40th anniversary, and the conference's theme—"Emergence·Infinity"—reflects the explosive development of cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing, large models, AI agents, brain-computer interfaces, and embodied intelligence in the AI era. These technologies are reshaping industry landscapes and redefining future life. Over three days, the conference brought together more than 130 entrepreneurs, featuring 38 speeches and dialogues, creating a thought-provoking feast with a strong technological flavor. All content was recorded throughout the event by DingTalk A1 and DingTalk AI Listening, signaling the official entry of meeting recording into the AI era.

3-Day Non-Stop Recording, Instant Text-and-Image Minutes After the Meeting

DingTalk A1 and DingTalk AI Listening are new products launched by DingTalk in version 8.0. DingTalk A1 is DingTalk's first AI hardware—a portable recording card that attaches to a smartphone, enabling on-the-go audio recording and automatic AI-powered generation of meeting minutes. In the three months since its launch, DingTalk A1 has received widespread acclaim for its outstanding performance and is hailed as an "AI office gadget." It consistently leads in the recording pen and 3C digital product rankings on platforms such as Tmall and Douyin, emerging as a "dark horse" product among domestic AI hardware.

At this year's conference, DingTalk A1's powerful far-field audio pickup, up to 45 hours of continuous recording, and 60-day standby time ensured clear recording of guest speeches from any location in the venue, with real-time generation of speech summaries. Throughout the three-day conference, no charging was required, enabling non-stop recording.

In addition to the hardware, attendees can also start recording instantly by long-pressing the DingTalk app and selecting the "Create AI Listening" feature. The AI automatically organizes minutes and notes, dividing them into sections and highlighting key points. The newly launched text-and-image minutes feature can also generate a "content overview map," presenting everything from the title to the structure in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand format, making complex information instantly digestible.

One entrepreneur attending the conference said, "DingTalk AI Listening is refreshing. It effectively addresses the challenges of 'no post-meeting follow-up' and 'difficult implementation.' I plan to roll it out company-wide."

The organizing team also reported that, by leveraging DingTalk A1 and DingTalk AI Listening, they significantly reduced the manpower and verification time traditionally required for stenography, greatly improving event efficiency and content output speed. "As a content team, we've always strived for accuracy and immediacy in recording. In the past, we needed dedicated staff on-site to take notes; now, with AI automatically generating summaries, it's so much more convenient!" said a representative from the organizing team.

Currently, DingTalk A1 and DingTalk AI Listening, as a new-generation meeting recording solution, have been adopted by several large enterprises and major conferences, including Fortune 500 company Xiangyu Group, leading health screening provider Meinian Health, and global PV inverter leader Sungrow Power Supply.
