Today, when I opened Aliyun Drive, I suddenly received a prompt for the personal beta version of DingTalk. I opened it and, wow, when did DingTalk become so cool! At first glance, it looks similar to Notion's interface, combined with AI functionality. It's quite impressive. If you are a heavy user of note-taking and AI, it's definitely worth a try.
Personally, I have a habit of taking notes and have tried many different note-taking software, from Typora to Yuque, and now Obsidian. I can be considered a heavy user of markdown note-taking.
Why am I suddenly talking about this personal version of DingTalk? Besides the basic note-taking functions, the personal version of DingTalk also integrates AI creative services. The key point is that it is currently free, including text generation, image generation, character dialogue, and AI creative services.
I am personally a heavy user of AI (ChatGPT, Cloude) and use it almost every day. Currently, DingTalk's AI is Alibaba's large-scale model: Tongyi Qianwen (text generation) and Tongyi Wanxiang (image generation).
Below is a regular document, and you can summon AI writing by pressing the spacebar. The text part of the image below is completed by DingTalk's AI.
Of course, DingTalk is also capable of writing code. The second option in the leftmost column is AI creative writing. Jarvis, based on Tongyi Qianwen, can write documents and code, and the personal version of DingTalk provides many preset instructions.
Muse, based on Tongyi Wanxiang, is similar to Midjourney. It can generate corresponding images based on text descriptions.
Overall, the AI creative function is quite useful. DingTalk also has several advantages. One is that it can directly access Aliyun Drive, which is very convenient in certain scenarios. Another advantage is that, like Notion, the personal version of DingTalk provides many commonly used templates.
For example, the Four Quadrant Work Center:
For example, the Travel Checklist:
Of course, there are many other templates. If you are interested, you can try them out yourself.
There is also a cloud storage function, which is Aliyun Drive. The entire ecosystem is quite good, combining cloud storage files with notes.
