Accio began in November 2024 as an AI-powered B2B sourcing search engine from Alibaba International, then expanded substantially in March 2026 when Alibaba International launched Accio Work, an agentic AI platform aimed at small and midsize businesses and solo e-commerce operators. The company reports Accio has grown to more than 10 million monthly active users globally.
Rather than a single chatbot, Accio Work runs a squad of specialist agents that each handle a distinct job: product-trend research, supplier sourcing across 1.5 million-plus verified suppliers spanning Alibaba.com, 1688, and AliExpress, email-based price negotiation, store setup, compliance paperwork, and marketing tasks. Sellers connect existing accounts (Gmail, LinkedIn, Alibaba.com, and others) so agents can act inside tools the business already uses rather than requiring a separate workspace.
Accio Work suits solo founders and small e-commerce teams who want to offload sourcing and back-office work without hiring staff for each function, and existing Alibaba.com Gold Supplier members get bundled access to some features. Pricing runs on a subscription-plus-credits model starting around $45/month, with a Growth tier near $99/month and a 14-day free trial to test the workflow; Alibaba.com sellers get a 20% discount on paid plans.
