What’s new: Ant Group Co. Ltd. has launched a life assistant app powered by artificial intelligence (AI), tapping the nascent technology as the Chinese fintech giant seeks new revenue sources following a major overhaul of its business.
The Zhixiaobao app, powered by Ant Group’s large language model (LLM) BaiLing, can help users complete tasks such as ordering meals, hailing taxis, booking tickets, and finding dining and entertainment options through text or voice chat, the company said Thursday. Zhixiaobao is also accessible through the Alipay payment app.
