EnglishAfter a business trip ends, employees no longer need to spend time organizing invoices, and the finance department no longer has to spend hours verifying hundreds of scattered receipts. Businesses can also significantly reduce operating costs—such an efficient and convenient scenario is now gradually being realized through DingTalk. DingTalk's latest "AI Travel" feature addresses common pain points in travel management for small and medium-sized enterprises, providing an intelligent solution.
On January 20, DingTalk officially released version 8.2.5, and the "AI Travel" service—jointly developed by DingTalk, Amap, and Alipay—is now live. All enterprise users can simply search for keywords such as "AI Travel," "Travel Car," "Flights," or "Hotels" within the latest version of DingTalk to activate the related services for free, with no upfront fees or additional charges. At the same time, this version also fully launches several smart tools, including AI Print, AI Transcription, and real-time simultaneous translation.
Helping SMEs Reduce Travel Burdens
DingTalk AI Travel is specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises with fewer than 500 employees. It integrates Amap Ride-Hailing and Alipay Enterprise Payment, covering four major travel needs: flights, hotels, train tickets, and car rentals. Compared with other corporate travel platforms, AI Travel connects directly to the systems of mainstream hotel chains such as Jinjiang, Home Inn, Dongcheng, Hodo, and Yast, ensuring more competitive booking prices. Its built-in AI price-comparison engine automatically scans information across the web, displaying real-time price comparisons from multiple platforms to help users quickly choose the best deal.
For employees who frequently work on the road, the AI Travel assistant greatly simplifies trip planning: With just a single sentence describing their needs—even complex itineraries involving multiple cities—the system can generate the optimal travel plan within 30 seconds and automatically create a travel request form, eliminating the tedious process of manual form-filling.
Even more convenient is the "seamless reimbursement" car service launched in partnership with Amap. After employees submit an outbound or business trip itinerary, they can request a ride directly in the approval form or by searching for "Amap Ride-Hailing." Once the trip is completed, the relevant invoices and trip data are automatically linked to the corresponding request form, completely eliminating the hassle of collecting paper receipts one by one. In terms of payment, thanks to Alipay's enterprise code pay-on-behalf function, employees do not need to advance funds, and businesses can flexibly enable the service based on actual needs.
For management, AI Travel provides professional control tools that support customized travel policies—for example, setting flight booking windows, maximum hotel rates, or train seat classes. The system can also generate consumption breakdowns and rankings by department or individual, making travel expenses transparent and effectively monitorable.
The HR manager at Hangzhou-based robotics company Yuanli Wuxian compared pricing between DingTalk and other platforms and immediately decided to adopt this service. He noted, "DingTalk covers a full range of chain hotel brands, and the pricing is also very attractive." Since activating the service one month ago, the company has reduced the time required for employees to complete the reimbursement process from 10 days to just 3 days, and monthly travel expenses have been cut by approximately RMB 150,000.
Designing and printing materials is expensive and troublesome?
DingTalk's "AI Print" integrates the design and printing process for corporate promotional materials into the platform, offering a one-stop service that ranges from AI-generated content and design fine-tuning to one-click printing and logistics delivery. This makes poster creation and printing as simple, efficient, and cost-effective as online shopping.
The days of relying on outsourced design, juggling multiple quotes, and struggling to track printing progress are over. Today, even marketing or operations staff without a design background can generate professional-quality promotional posters in just a few minutes and place orders directly, connecting to six major printing plants nationwide. Common materials such as roll-up banners, color pages, and brochures are all covered, with prices significantly lower than traditional print shops. Same-day or next-day delivery is available in major cities.
Jiang Ying'an, CEO of Hangzhou Fubaba Network Technology Co., Ltd., said, "In the past, creating a roll-up banner often required repeated negotiations and communication. Now, the entire process is handled in one stop. By combining AI design with the platform's logistics, quality, efficiency, and delivery accuracy have all improved significantly. Not only does it eliminate the hassle of comparing quotes, but it also markedly enhances output quality and operational speed."
No fear of language barriers
In version 8.2.5, DingTalk further enhances its AI transcription feature, improving real-time translation and simultaneous interpretation capabilities during audio and video conferences. Whether in face-to-face conversations or cross-border video meetings, users can instantly hear the translated content. Even if their foreign-language skills are limited, they can confidently handle overseas trips or international conferences.
The newly added face-to-face simultaneous-translation feature not only provides real-time subtitles but also supports voice playback. Users simply need to wear standard Bluetooth headphones to achieve real-time translation between multiple languages, including Chinese, English, and Japanese. They can also set each earbud to play a different language, allowing two people wearing one earbud each to communicate smoothly. In DingTalk video conferences, the system supports multilingual two-way simultaneous interpretation, allowing each participant to choose the language they are most comfortable with. After the meeting, the system automatically generates meeting minutes and action items, greatly improving the efficiency of cross-border collaboration.
A manager from a Hangzhou-based outdoor furniture company shared, "We have production bases in mainland China and Vietnam, as well as branches and distributors in Europe and the United States. Every meeting involves multiple regions, departments, and languages. AI simultaneous-translation technology allows us to no longer rely on professional translators and ensures smooth communication every week and every month."
From AI Travel and AI Print to AI Transcription, DingTalk is leveraging artificial intelligence technology to bring professional services once available only to large enterprises to a broader range of small and medium-sized businesses. This makes travel easier, printing more convenient, and cross-language communication smoother—reducing operating costs while truly freeing up the time and creativity of every employee.
