Ant Group's AI assistant LingGuang surpasses 200,000 downloads in a day

LingGuang, the multimodal artificial intelligence assistant from Alibaba’s (9988) Ant Group, has surpassed 200,000 downloads within a day of its launch, according to mainland media.

The AI application can create personalized, interactive flash apps on mobile devices using natural language within 30 seconds, supporting editing, interaction, and sharing, beyond traditional text-based conversations.

Focusing on the customer-side market, LingGuang features interacting with users through code-driven outputs, marking the industry’s first general-purpose AI tool that empowers non-technical users to develop functional applications effortlessly.

Alibaba's founder, Jack Ma Yun, reportedly appeared at Ant Group's Hangzhou campus on Tuesday, a move that the market believed was related to its recent AI product strategies.
