LingGuang 2.0

LingGuang 2.0 (Chinese product name 灵光 2.0) is Ant Group's 2026-10-27 major upgrade of its personal AI assistant. The pitch: move from waiting for instructions and finishing one-shot tasks to proactively spotting needs and managing ongoing affairs—within user authorization—using connected data/services, with analysis, monitoring, and reminders, on a dedicated cloud host that can keep working after the chat ends.

What Ant highlights

1. Affair management: cross-session memory, long-horizon scheduling, tool connections; task life-cycle not tied to a single chat turn.
2. Example life scenarios (after auth): Alipay bills/subscriptions and saving tips; post-booking travel price watches; DingTalk class-group notice → todos; long-horizon reminders (pets, vaccines, anniversaries, vehicle inspection).
3. Connectors: Alipay ecosystem plus DingTalk / Feishu / email / Mi Home; open side can call MCP and CLI tools.
4. Security: Ant APASS as unified account/security infrastructure across agents/devices/apps; auth keys hosted separately from the agent; users can view/adjust/revoke grants.
