Alibaba.com has launched ‘Accio Work’, an agentic AI business team designed for SMEs in Malaysia. The offering claims to be a plug-and-play AI agent team that automates end-to-end business operations for SMEs.
“Across the global trade environment, AI is no longer a future technology. It has become core infrastructure that is fundamentally reshaping the way businesses operate,” said Shawn Yang, general manager for the APAC Region at Alibaba.com. ” Accio Work was designed to help SMEs and solopreneurs access and operate in global markets with enterprise-level execution.”

Accio Work claims to enable AI agents to automate business operations, from market research, product planning, and sourcing to product listing, global marketing, and store management. Beyond answering queries, it is designed to execute user instructions autonomously.
“Accio Work is designed to give SMEs a truly plug-and-play AI team, one that is simpler to adopt, more professional in execution, and more autonomous in operation” James Zhang, head of Global Seller Product & Services and APAC Buyer Growth at Alibaba.com, said: “By helping businesses launch faster, make smarter decisions, and run around the clock, we believe it can redefine how small teams compete and grow globally.”

Powered by Accio Work, Alibaba.com also announced the upcoming CoCreate Pitch 2026 (Malaysia Division), an AI-powered startup competition designed to identify and support product-driven innovators.
