Alibaba launches agentic AI tool for businesses with Slack, Teams integration plans

Alibaba released Wukong, a new agentic AI tool (software that can take proactive actions on company systems, not just respond to questions) designed to help businesses manage multiple AI agents through a single interface with planned integration into messaging apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams. The platform handles tasks such as document editing, approvals, and meeting transcription, though the company acknowledges that giving AI agents broad access to company data raises privacy and security concerns.
