AI TRENDS | Zhaogang Launches NextB2B With Tencent WorkBuddy Team

Zhaogang (06676) said it has jointly launched the NextB2B product with Tencent's WorkBuddy team, according to ETNet. NextB2B is described as the first B2B end-to-end AI agent solution based on Tencent WorkBuddy. It includes four enterprise intelligent-agent modules covering procurement, sales, back office and operations, with functions such as sourcing suppliers and comparing quotes, identifying customer inquiries and procurement needs, generating quotations, following up with clients, recording business history, and checking counterparty business registration, litigation and public-opinion risk information. The product also includes A2A transaction capability and is expected to support direct agent-to-agent communication in the future. The group said NextB2B will use a pricing model combining a base version, value-added modules and Token top-ups. The standard price for the base version is RMB 20,000, while value-added modules and Token top-up services will be charged separately based on customer requirements. Zhaogang said the launch could help it offer its accumulated industry data, business experience and AI application capabilities to external corporate clients, while exploring new revenue streams from basic software services, value-added functions and Token top-ups.
