Ant-backed Chinese AI agent developer DeepWisdom aims to help solo entrepreneurs


Chinese AI start-up DeepWisdom, which has launched its Atoms multi-agent application, wants to make life easier for solo entrepreneurs by deploying AI agents to serve in different roles, in what may be a glimpse of the future of work.

“We want everyone to be able to realise their ideas at very low cost,” Alex Wu Chenglin, founder and CEO of DeepWisdom, said in an interview with the Post. “Each person can become one of the building blocks of society.”

Previously known as MGX, Atoms allows users to build products such as websites, apps and games simply by describing their ideas in natural language.

Behind the scenes, a virtual team of AI agents steps in, acting as team leader, engineer, product manager, data analyst, architect, deep researcher and even search engine optimisation specialist. The system, powered largely by open-source AI models including Alibaba Group Holding’s Qwen and DeepSeek, aims to deliver a finished product without the user writing a single line of code.

DeepWisdom, backed by Ant Group, Cathay Capital, Jinqiu Capital and Baidu Ventures, is pitching Atoms as the next step beyond “vibe coding”, a term popularised by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy to describe coding done with prompts based on intuition. Ant is the fintech affiliate of Alibaba, which owns the Post.

Wu called this next phase “vibe business”, where AI agents do not just help write code but effectively serve as employees who execute tasks end to end. The Atoms website showcases a library of templates designed to help users prompt and coordinate these agents.
