Quick Integration with Mainstream Apps
Achieve interoperability with over 200 applications including WeCom, DingTalk, Tencent Docs, Feishu, Kingdee, Vika, QQ Mail, and NetEase Mail.
Double Efficiency with AI
Leverage more than ten AI applications such as health code recognition, image-to-Excel conversion, ID card recognition, and business card recognition to reduce repetitive manual tasks.
No-Code Visual Operations
Visual design, drag-and-drop operations, and no-code implementation make it easy for non-technical users to get started without programming expertise.

III. Customer Cases
1. B&B Cleaning and Inventory Management
Builder: Lei Yang, Owner of Olai B&B
Housekeepers scan QR codes to document pre- and post-cleaning photos, which are manually reviewed by supervisors. Room conditions are logged, and maintenance requests are reported in real time. Data synced to Tencent Docs enables analysis of cleaning hours, supply usage, key replacement progress, and repair tracking. Details
2. No-Code Cross-Organization Service System with Closed-Loop Management
Builder: Manager Zhu, Anhui Supply and Marketing Group
Used for internal service requests and system issue reporting, forming a "collection-review-tracking-resolution-knowledge base" workflow. Previously, scattered reporting methods led to duplicate issues and lack of integration with the knowledge base. Details
