量子位 · wechat · 2026-09-28
McKinsey data cited at Alibaba Cloud's Yunqi conference: 88% of companies now routinely use AI in at least one function, but only 6% see significant value (≥5% of EBIT). Lingyang CEO Peng Xinyu framed enterprise AI in three layers—Chat (knowing), Work (doing), Business (growth)—positioning Lingyang's AgentOne in the last tier. Cases: Lantu Auto cut campaign setup from 12-24h to under 3h with +15% CTR and +20% lead-to-order conversion; Unilever built a food knowledge engine for sales prep; Feihe cut provincial reports from 3 days to 1 hour; Anta does AI product planning on Qwen; Star Charge serves consumers via the Qwen app. Formula: Data + Agent + FDE = AI employee, with a 7-day trial plan signed by 27 companies on launch day.
