E231 | From B2B to A2A: What Agent Infrastructure Could Do for a One-Person Global Business

E231｜从B2B到A2A：Agent新基建，如何让“一人企业”做全球生意？

Alibaba International president Zhang Kuo said procurement agent product Accio reached 10 million MAU in March and is still growing quickly month over month. The interview’s clearest metric: AI cuts procurement communication time to one-fifth, from about one week to one day, by chaining research, design-pack generation, cross-language communication, and supplier screening into an agent workflow. The real point is A2A: the post frames it as agents restructuring buyer, seller, and platform flows, not just a better chat box.

Why it matters: This is not a major launch, but it is a primary-source exec interview with concrete numbers: 10M MAU and a 1 week→1 day cycle cut. HKR-H/K/R all pass, yet the event is still below a model release or major product update, so it lands in featured, not p1.
