At Meituan's 2026 management communication summit, Wang Xing, the CEO of Meituan, expressed that AI Agents have left a far more profound impression on him compared to ChatGPT. Having navigated Meituan through the transition from the traditional internet era to the mobile internet age, Wang Xing emphasized that the transformation ushered in by AI will eclipse the impact of the internet in its magnitude. This evolution is poised to unleash tremendous productivity and exert a profound influence on organizational structures and work paradigms.

Wang Xing further elucidated that for Meituan, the digitization of the physical world constitutes a crucial foundation for the advancement of AI. Despite the burgeoning intelligence of large-scale AI models, he illustrated with a hypothetical scenario that even if a genius like Einstein were to attempt booking a restaurant, he would remain unaware of seat availability. Wang Xing clarified that this predicament stems not from a lack of intelligence but rather from an absence of pertinent information.
