The story so far

Ant Group released Lingguang 2.0, adding cross-session memory, long-running task scheduling, and expanded connections to tools and services so the AI assistant can continue managing tasks after users leave a conversation. With user authorization, it can use connected information and services to identify potential needs, begin analysis or monitoring, follow up, and alert users when something needs their attention. Examples include monitoring travel prices, identifying potentially forgotten subscriptions, and organizing school notifications. The update integrates APASS for identity, intent security, and privacy protection. Users can inspect, adjust, or revoke permissions at any time, with the assistant’s actions limited to the scope they authorize.
