According to Dongzha Beating monitoring, Ant Group is secretly testing an AI-powered version of Alipay, planning to launch an AI assistant named "Ally." Users will be able to complete daily tasks such as hailing a ride, ordering coffee, and purchasing funds through voice or text commands, and will be able to authorize financial transactions like fund purchases. Insiders have revealed that this version is currently in the internal testing phase, and the official release date is yet to be determined.

This upgrade will intensify the direct competition between Ant and Tencent - the latter is also testing an AI assistant prototype within WeChat. With both Alipay and WeChat having over a billion users, the AI deployment of these two super apps will be closely watched by the market and may become a benchmark for the industry to implement AI assistants. The first party to successfully execute this strategy will gain a competitive edge in the key competition of the Chinese internet.
