On January 15th, Alibaba's (09988) Qianwen App launched more than 400 service functions, officially entering the "AI service era" from "chat dialogue". Based on the strongest Qwen model and Alibaba's most abundant ecosystem, Qianwen App integrates Alibaba's ecosystem businesses such as Taobao, Alipay, Taobao Flash Sale, Fliggy, and Amap, achieving for the first time in the world AI shopping functions such as ordering takeout, shopping, booking flights, and hotels, and opening testing to all users. Wu Jia, President of Qianwen's C-end business group, said, "After AI possessed a super powerful brain, it has begun to develop hands and feet that can reach the real world, actually replacing users to 'work' in their lives."
