AI Alipay Is Coming? New Version Reportedly Being Tested
Alipay may be getting a major AI upgrade.
According to recent reports, Ant Group, the company behind Alipay, is internally testing an AI-powered version of the app. The new version may change the way users interact with Alipay, allowing them to enter a native AI interface with just one tap.
Instead of manually searching through different service pages, users may be able to ask Alipay’s AI assistant to complete daily tasks directly — such as booking a ride, ordering coffee, or getting food delivery.
The assistant is said to support both text and voice commands. Its Chinese name is reportedly set as “Abao” for now.

More importantly, with user authorization, the AI assistant may also be able to help with certain financial tasks, such as buying funds and managing investment accounts.
However, the launch date of the new version remains unclear, and Ant Group has not responded to the matter.
If eventually released, the AI version of Alipay could mark a major shift in how people use China’s super apps — from tapping throughmenus to simply telling AI what they need.
