At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), foundation model company StepFun and Alipay announced a system-level partnership, further expanding the capabilities of AI agents from conversations to complete complex tasks in everyday life.

Under the partnership, users will be able to access AI-powered daily life services through Alipay’s Ah Bao by speaking to the AI agent on StepFun’s AI-native terminal or via its large model.
