On Aug. 17 in Hangzhou, at Alipay’s first AI ecosystem conference focused on
commercialising intelligent agents, Ant Group CEO Han Xinyi said agent-based

three converging conditions — improved AI capabilities, a leap in user demand,
and the formation of a value loop — and urged industry players to accelerate
co‑building.
