Ant Group's Lingguang AI hits 20 million users one week after 2.0 launch

Lingguang 2.0, an AI assistant from Ant Group, launched on October 27. In just one week, it has helped users manage over 1.16 million items and completed more than 3.6 million tasks. Its user base has now surpassed 20 million.

The biggest change in Lingguang 2.0 is that AI now steps in earlier. In the past, users had to spot a problem, make a request, and then wait for the AI to act. Now, with user permission, Lingguang can actively spot potential needs, run analysis and monitoring, and send timely reminders when attention is needed.

On security, Lingguang 2.0 connects to Ant Group's APASS system, which brings identity checks and privacy protection into the agent process. Agents can complete tasks without touching authorization keys, and users can check, adjust, or cancel permissions at any time.
