Alibaba International has rolled out Accio Work, a no-code enterprise AI agent platform aimed at assisting small and medium-sized enterprises in automating complex operational tasks without the need for technical expertise.
The platform assigns specialized agents to manage various functions such as market analysis, product design, sourcing, compliance, inventory management, and logistics. It can handle VAT filings in over 100 markets, conduct supplier negotiations, and oversee marketing and shipping via messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp.
Accio Work is an evolution of Accio, an AI-driven B2B sourcing engine launched in November 2024, with over 10 million monthly active users worldwide. The system leverages dynamic orchestration to create cross-functional agent teams that operate concurrently on designated tasks. Users can develop reusable “skills” to standardize or share business processes.
By tapping into real-time consumer trends and transaction data from Alibaba’s e-commerce platforms, Accio Work ensures a comprehensive approach. The platform operates in sandboxed environments, requiring explicit user consent for critical actions involving finances or file access. Users have the option not to store data on servers.
Accio Work is set to debut on Accio.com before the end of March.
