Using DingTalk Agent as an Advisor in Group Conversations
DingTalk agents are revolutionizing the way teams collaborate by serving as intelligent advisors within group
The world no longer works in one time zone—or one language. Across Asia, businesses are navigating a future where collaboration is digital, teams are distributed, and productivity depends on how efficiently ideas move between people.
For decades, video conferencing tools have tried to bridge that gap. But today, a new class of platform is emerging: AI-powered collaboration ecosystems. And at the forefront of that evolution is DingTalk—Alibaba’s all-in-one communication, project management, and productivity platform.
If you think DingTalk is just another “Zoom for China,” think again. It’s an AI-driven business operating system designed specifically for Asia’s multilingual, fast-moving work culture.
Let’s explore why it’s becoming the go-to platform for organizations that need smarter meetings, faster execution, and instant understanding—across borders and languages.
Traditional video meetings are passive. You join, you talk, you leave—and then spend hours writing follow-up notes or updating spreadsheets.
DingTalk flips that model. Every meeting becomes a self-documenting, AI-powered workspace.
As soon as a meeting begins, DingTalk automatically records the session, generates real-time subtitles, transcribes the conversation, summarizes key points, and even identifies who said what. The AI Meeting Assistant creates an actionable to-do list right inside Teambition, DingTalk’s built-in project management tool.
No one needs to ask, “Who’s doing what?”—because the system already knows.
Asia’s diversity is its greatest strength—and also its biggest communication challenge.
Enter DingTalk’s real-time AI subtitles and translation engine. Powered by Alibaba’s Qwen large language model, it provides instant bilingual captions as participants speak.
A manager in Shenzhen speaks Mandarin. A designer in Kuala Lumpur replies in English. A supplier in Tokyo reads it all in Japanese—instantly, accurately, and with context.
This isn’t a simple translation tool. It’s context-aware AI that recognizes professional terms, emotional tone, and conversational nuance. Whether you’re discussing a marketing budget or a product defect, everyone sees clear, accurate subtitles in their preferred language.
No more “lost in translation.” Just pure collaboration.
After the meeting, DingTalk’s AI Recording and Minutes feature automatically generates a complete, structured summary—instantly.
You get:
It’s like having a personal secretary who never misses a word.
And because it’s powered by machine understanding—not just speech-to-text—you don’t get useless word dumps. The AI understands meaning, filters noise, and prioritizes what matters.
If your team holds 10 meetings a week, this feature alone saves hours of manual note-taking and ensures no decision ever gets lost.
We’ve all joined meetings late or missed one entirely. With DingTalk, that’s no longer a problem.
The built-in AI Assistant acts like a real-time meeting analyst. You can ask it questions during or after a session:
“What did I miss in the first 10 minutes?”
“Who’s responsible for the next product demo?”
“Did we finalize the Malaysia campaign budget?”
The assistant replies instantly—summarizing what’s been discussed or referencing the exact part of the transcript or recording.
It even helps after the meeting. Days later, you can still ask the AI about previous sessions, and it will pull up the correct information. It’s like having a team memory that never forgets.
This is what turns DingTalk from a communication tool into an AI knowledge companion.
DingTalk’s magic really shines when connected with Teambition, Alibaba’s enterprise project management platform.
Here’s how it works:
That means less time managing logistics—and more time managing outcomes.
This integration is why DingTalk is becoming a standard operating platform for large organizations across China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. It turns conversation into coordination.
Data governance is becoming a boardroom issue. With new data localization and cybersecurity laws rolling out in 2026 across Hong Kong and mainland China, companies need systems that are not only powerful but compliant.
DingTalk is built on Alibaba Cloud’s enterprise security framework, meaning all meetings, recordings, and documents are encrypted end-to-end. Companies can choose data storage regions—China, Hong Kong, or international servers—to comply with local regulations.
This gives enterprises the flexibility to operate regionally without risking data violations or geopolitical friction.
In short: DingTalk is designed for Asia’s regulatory future.
DingTalk’s AI doesn’t stop at transcription. It actually analyzes meeting performance.
Managers can see:
If the system detects inefficiency—say, too much time spent on reporting—it recommends structure improvements for the next meeting.
Over time, this transforms meetings from chaotic discussions into data-driven collaboration sessions.
Let’s imagine a Hong Kong fintech company managing teams in Penang, Shanghai, and Bangkok.

The result: decisions made 40% faster, productivity up, and cross-border communication running smoother than ever.
DingTalk isn’t just a video app—it’s part of a connected ecosystem that includes:
This ecosystem creates a feedback loop of productivity:
Meetings feed tasks → tasks feed data → data drives insights → insights improve the next meeting.
It’s what Alibaba calls “The Smart Office Brain.”
While many collaboration tools are built for Western workflows and adapted for Asia, DingTalk takes the opposite approach. It’s designed natively for Asian enterprises, supporting the complexity of bilingual teams, hierarchical communication styles, and cross-border coordination.
It also operates seamlessly across the Great Firewall, making it the most reliable bridge between Hong Kong and mainland China operations.
With expansions in Malay, Thai, and Vietnamese language support, DingTalk is quickly becoming the pan-Asian standard for intelligent enterprise communication.
DingTalk’s roadmap points toward agentic AI collaboration—meetings that don’t just record information but actually understand it.
Soon, your meeting summary won’t just tell you what happened; it will suggest next steps:
“Budget discussion remained unresolved—schedule a follow-up next Tuesday?”
“Two deliverables are overdue—should I send reminders to the project owners?”
This evolution turns the meeting itself into a decision-making intelligence system.
The future of work in Asia is multilingual, cross-border, and AI-enhanced. DingTalk is already ahead of that curve.
It brings together:
It’s not just a communication tool—it’s the nervous system of the AI-first enterprise.
We used to think of meetings as time sinks. But what if meetings could think?
With DingTalk Video Conference, every conversation becomes a living, searchable, multilingual knowledge base. It captures, translates, summarizes, and connects everything—automatically.
In an age where speed, clarity, and intelligence define competitiveness, DingTalk gives Asia what it needs most:
a collaboration platform that doesn’t just connect people—it connects understanding.
