Kuo continues:“ By leveraging AI, suppliers are super happy because previously they rarely encountered a buyer who was professional enough to provide such a clear design pack without endless back-and-forth communication. We see that agents are becoming involved in daily execution step by step. Just this month, we released the third version of Accio Work.”
Beyond cost-efficiency – the platform is expanding too.
“ It’ s not only an agent for sourcing, product design or supplier vetting; it’ s also an e-commerce workspace,” says Kuo.“ For example, if you own a Shopify, Amazon or TikTok shop, you’ re not only sourcing from Alibaba. com, but you also need to manage your stores across multiple platforms. You might want to update listings across different platforms using a single prompt, and the agent can handle it all. You might also want a group of agents to perform market research, identify opportunities and find manufacturers.
“ As we provide more capabilities, we see customers dedicating more complex, end-to-end tasks to agents. That is how we are evolving our agent to satisfy our customers.”
