Enterprise-grade cloud architecture purpose-built for orchestrating and scaling AI agents

Agent Native Cloud is Alibaba Cloud's next-generation cloud architecture designed from the ground up for AI agents operating at enterprise scale. Unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026 in Shanghai, it introduces two flagship capabilities: AgentTeams, which enables the orchestration of multiple specialized agents working collaboratively on complex tasks, and Agentic Computer, which provides secure, isolated cloud-based execution environments for agent workloads. The platform's redesigned infrastructure features native sandbox environments, strong workload isolation, elastic scaling, and enterprise identity integration. It is underpinned by Alibaba Cloud's broader agentic stack—including AgentBay (Wuying AgentBay), AgentScope, AgentRun, and Model Studio—and leverages the Qwen model family. Billing for underlying services like AgentBay follows a hybrid model combining basic packages, subscription tiers, and pay-as-you-go usage, though Agent Native Cloud enterprise pricing is negotiated directly.

Use it for

  • — Orchestrating fleets of specialized AI agents across enterprise workflows
  • — Secure, isolated execution of autonomous agent tasks in the cloud
  • — Multi-agent collaboration for complex, long-horizon business processes
  • — Automating internal IT operations and enterprise software workflows
  • — Building and deploying agentic applications on top of Qwen models
  • — Web browsing, data extraction, and multi-step automation via Agentic Computer

Get the most out of it

  1. 01Use AgentTeams to decompose large tasks into subtasks handled by specialized agents—this mirrors Alibaba Cloud's own internal deployments where agent clusters delivered measurable productivity gains.
  2. 02Leverage AgentBay's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration to plug cloud-hosted execution environments directly into existing AI agent frameworks without custom infrastructure.
  3. 03Take advantage of the free 100-point AgentBay trial coupon to prototype and validate your agent workflows before committing to a subscription or pay-as-you-go plan.
  4. 04Schedule long-horizon or compute-intensive agent tasks during off-peak hours to benefit from Alibaba Cloud's discounted nighttime pricing on Qwen model API calls (as low as 20% of daytime rates).
  5. 05Enable session recording and ASP live streaming in Agentic Computer for real-time visual debugging of browser-based agent workflows—this dramatically speeds up troubleshooting in complex multi-step automations.

No-Code AI Automation Consolidation Play

ZapierMakeOmniRouteGemini AgentAgent Native Cloud

A future-proof automation stack that hedges against the predicted M&A consolidation in the no-code space. Combines the strengths of multiple platforms with AI-native routing and failover to avoid vendor lock-in.

How the workflow runs
  1. 01omniroute — Route automation requests across multiple AI providers with automatic fallback if one service is down
  2. 02zapier — Connect consumer and SaaS apps for simple trigger-action workflows
  3. 03make — Build complex visual automations requiring branching logic and data transformation
  4. 04gemini-agent — Deploy enterprise AI agents for Google Workspace automation that Zapier and Make don't natively support
  5. 05agent-native-cloud — Scale high-volume agent workflows on enterprise-grade infrastructure

With no-code platforms racing toward M&A consolidation, this stack avoids single-vendor risk. OmniRoute ensures you can switch providers without rewriting workflows, while combining Zapier's breadth with Make's power and Gemini Agent's enterprise capabilities creates a best-of-breed approach. When the consolidation wave hits, you're positioned to negotiate rather than migrate in panic.

Physical AI Home Automation Breakthrough Stack

richard-companionEnviousWisprAilynWalkerS2Agent Native Cloud

Build the autonomous home assistant infrastructure before consumer robotics achieve mass adoption. Combines local LLM control with voice interfaces and cross-device orchestration to control robots, sensors, and traditional smart home devices.

How the workflow runs
  1. 01richard-companion — Deploy self-hosted voice-controlled home automation powered by local LLM
  2. 02enviouswispr — Enable sub-second on-device voice dictation for issuing commands to AI systems
  3. 03ailyn — Orchestrate AI intelligence across multiple devices and edge computing nodes in the home
  4. 04walkers2 — Integrate humanoid service robot for physical tasks once consumer models become available
  5. 05agent-native-cloud — Scale home AI infrastructure as more robotic and IoT devices come online

Physical AI and robotics are predicted to achieve breakthrough consumer adoption through home automation. This stack positions early adopters to control the entire ecosystem: voice input via EnviousWispr, local reasoning via Richard, cross-device orchestration via Ailyn, and future robot integration via WalkerS2. When consumer robots hit shelves, you'll have the control plane ready.
