Alibaba International to launch world's first AI-driven B2B search engine

Following the release of SearchGPT by OpenAI a few days ago, the ignited " AI Searc h" track has welcomed a new heavyweight player: the AI-driven B2B search engine developed by Alibaba International will be officially launched in September this year.

At present, the emergence of AI has completely changed the search experience. Alibaba International's new product will be the world's first professional AI search engine, with very clear application scenarios and commercial value: focusing on global B2B e -commerce, targeting small and medium-sized business owners around the world, and aiming to change the global procurement process to make it more intuitive and efficient.

It can actively understand the natural language of buyers and convert it into professional purchase requests. Furthermore, it can predict demand and provide suggestions based on global market data to achieve more accurate matching. It is reported that the AI ​​search engine will integrate all e-commerce platforms on the Internet in the future.

In short, if you are a business owner who wants to purchase goods from all over the world, just ask in plain language in the new AI search engine. It will understand your needs more accurately through dialogue with you, recommend multiple options for you, and actively compare and summarize the pros and cons, and ultimately help you complete the transaction and fulfill the delivery.

Industry insiders believe that the launch of this product is a subversion and iteration of the current B2B purchasing experience and will become the next generation of B2B Google in the AI ​​era .

The biggest difference between it and the current Google search experience is:

Today’s Google searches are just passive responses, mechanically matching web page content with keywords, and cannot truly understand people’s needs, so recommendations will not be accurate. However, the AI ​​search engine launched by Alibaba International can more accurately understand your intentions through an active dialogue experience and recommend the most suitable results.

This new AI search engine will change the way small and medium-sized enterprises operate and trade. It is expected that this will greatly increase the market demand for global trade and bring more overseas business opportunities to Chinese merchants.

For Alibaba International , the new experience brought by AI will also be an important growth point for its global e-commerce business.

As early as November last year , Alibaba International released its first AI product , Aidge; recently, Alibaba International announced the latest AI progress . In the past year, it has tested AI capabilities in more than 40 scenarios, served more than 500,000 small and medium-sized businesses, and optimized 100 million products.
