Investing.com -- Alibaba unveiled a new enterprise artificial intelligence platform called Wukong on Tuesday as the company undergoes internal restructuring.

The platform allows businesses to manage multiple agents through a single interface while offering enterprise-grade security infrastructure, according to a CNBC report. Wukong is currently in an invitation-only testing phase.

The platform can manage agents handling tasks including document editing, approvals, meeting transcription, and research. Unlike chatbots that respond to prompts, AI agents can take proactive actions and often require broader access to company data and systems.

The platform is named after the Monkey King character from the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West." Wukong is available as a standalone desktop application or through DingTalk, a cloud-based communications platform similar to Salesforce's Slack.

DingTalk has over 20 million corporate users. Alibaba plans to connect Wukong with other messaging platforms, including Slack, Microsoft Teams and Tencent's WeChat, expanding access to mobile devices.

Wukong will be progressively integrated into Alibaba's broader suite of e-commerce platforms including Taobao and Alipay.

The platform was unveiled a day after the company announced a reorganization. The AI agent platform falls under Alibaba's new Alibaba Token Hub business group.

The new business group will focus on developing and applying AI tokens and will oversee existing Alibaba units Tongyi Laboratory, MaaS Business Line, Qwen and AI Innovation. Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu will lead the group.

AI tokens refer to units of data or value used within AI systems, including inputs, outputs or usage tied to computing.

In an internal memo published Monday on Alizila, the company's news portal, Wu described the changes as a "historic opportunity" as the company stands at the "threshold of an [artificial general intelligence] inflection point."
