Meituan CEO Wang Xing: The Impact of AI Agent on Me is Greater Than That of ChatGPT
At a management meeting on March 13, 2026, Meituan CEO Wang Xing shared his perspectives on the development of artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing that the impact of AI will far exceed that of the entire internet. He metaphorically compared mobile internet to traditional internet as "roses and peonies," while describing the relationship between AI and the internet as "monkeys and flowers," underscoring AI's significantly greater scale and influence.
Wang stressed that both companies and individuals should actively embrace the AI wave. He expressed that AI Agents have had a more profound impact on him than ChatGPT. Having experienced the transition from the internet to mobile internet, Wang firmly believes that the changes brought by AI will be even more substantial—not only generating higher productivity but also deeply transforming organizational and work models.
He highlighted that the digitization of the physical world is a critical foundation for AI. Although current large AI models are becoming increasingly intelligent, they still face limitations in accessing real-time information in practical applications. For instance, even if Einstein were a secretary, he might not know if a restaurant has available seats when making a reservation—not due to a lack of intelligence, but because of information constraints.
To adapt to this transformation, Meituan has launched multiple AI applications and developed its own large-scale models. Wang also revealed that in 2025, Meituan will increase investment in real-world information systems. During this year's Spring Festival, the company introduced an AI search product called "Ask Xiaotuan" to enhance user service experience.
