Imagine getting a Telegram alert at 2 AM because radiation levels near a nuclear site just spiked — cross-referenced with unusual military flight activity in the same region and a surge in conflict-related social media chatter.

Alibaba Wukong Turns DingTalk Into an AI-Native OS for 27 Million Enterprises
To ship Wukong, Alibaba didn’t just bolt an AI layer onto its existing collaboration tool.
