From July 17 to 20, 2026, the World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance (WAIC 2026) was held across three venues in Shanghai — Expo, Zhangjiang, and West Bund. Under the theme "Intelligent Partners, Co-creating the Future," the conference featured an exhibition area exceeding 100,000 square meters for the first time, drawing over 1,100 exhibiting enterprises, 3,000+ technology products on display, and 300+ global AI product debuts. Over 140 forum sessions brought together more than 1,400 Chinese and international guests to discuss the frontier of AI technology, industrial deployment, and global governance.

eSign.AI showcased its dual-engine lineup at WAIC 2026: the AI-native electronic signature and contract intelligence platform, alongside VeriAgent.AI, a trusted digital agent infrastructure — presenting the latest practices in digital trust for the AI era. The demonstrations spanned end-to-end AI-driven contract workflows (drafting, review, signing, and compliance auditing) and trusted identity and behavior governance for AI Agents. eSign.AI Founder and CEO Jin Hongzhou was also invited to speak at the "Enterprise AI Agent: Evolution and Commercial Deployment" forum on July 20, joining industry leaders to explore pathways for commercializing AI Agents in vertical industries.

At the WAIC "Enterprise AI Agent: Evolution and Commercial Deployment" forum, Jin Hongzhou unveiled the underlying technical architecture of the eSign.AI electronic signature platform for the first time: a hybrid deployment model combining six vertical small models with one general-purpose large model.

"Take contract information extraction as an example. We trained a specialized model for this specific scenario rather than relying on a large model — driven by both cost considerations and demands for precision and domain expertise."

The architecture has been validated at production scale: intelligent contract review achieves 98% accuracy, outperforming general-purpose large models by approximately 10 percentage points, with daily AI calls exceeding 10 million. eSign.AI's AI-related revenue surpassed RMB 100 million in 2025.

At the eSign.AI exhibition booth, the team demonstrated the full contract workflow driven by natural-language commands: a single voice or text instruction triggered contract drafting, AI-powered risk clause flagging, bilingual (Chinese-English) summary generation, and multi-party visualized signing — without any manual clicks. Additionally, VeriAgent.AI's Agent identity registration and dynamic permission granting were demonstrated live, showing the complete closed loop of an AI Agent obtaining a JIT (just-in-time) short-term identity credential, executing signing operations, and automatically generating tamper-proof audit logs.

eSign.AI's brand evolution traces back to April 2026, when its predecessor eSignGlobal officially rebranded to eSign.AI in Hong Kong. According to the company's rebranding announcement, this was "not a cosmetic change" — the electronic signature platform has evolved into an AI-native contract automation platform covering the entire workflow: drafting, routing, signing, compliance tracking, and post-execution management.

A key differentiator is AI Agent Integration (eSign Automation): enterprises can complete online contract signing through natural language interactions, with no manual steps required. Whether for single-party signing, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single API call, with all signing initiations and status queries returning structured JSON output. This capability is now integrated into the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports platforms including Claude MCP and ChatGPT.
