Alibaba (09988) releases AI digital human image "Qianwen Xiaojiuwo", which will be integrated into various ecological applications of Alibaba.

Alibaba (09988) officially released the ecological AI assistant "Thousand Questions Xiaojiuwu" today. As the unified DIGIHUMAN image of Alibaba's Thousand Questions AI, it will not only be in the Thousand Questions App, but will also be gradually integrated into various applications within the Alibaba ecosystem such as Taobao and Fliggy, becoming a unified AI life assistant covering work and living scenarios. According to the introduction, whether it's solving difficult problems, making plans, ordering food, buying tickets, or getting a ride, users can find Thousand Questions Xiaojiuwu in the Thousand Questions App and easily "get things done" through simple conversations. Unlike traditional chatbots, the core competitiveness of "Thousand Questions Xiaojiuwu" as an ecological-level AI assistant lies in its powerful ability to take action. Leveraging Alibaba's rich commercial ecosystem, users only need to give tasks, and the complete chain from understanding the demand to transaction payment to fulfillment delivery can be completed seamlessly in the conversation, making complex tasks easy to accomplish. This release is a microcosm of Alibaba's accelerated integration of AI. Since the Spring Festival, the Thousand Questions App has successively integrated functions with Taobao Flash Sale, Fliggy, Amap, Alipay, and other ecosystem businesses, enabling intelligent takeaway ordering, itinerary planning, ticket purchasing for performances, and more. In March of this year, Alibaba established the Alibaba Token Hub Business Group, integrating model research and development, capability delivery, and ecosystem application at the group level as a unified AI combat unit. The appearance of Thousand Questions Xiaojiuwu is a direct manifestation of this strategy implementation. At the model capability level, Alibaba's AI Innovation Business Unit recently introduced the video generation model HappyHorse and the world model product HappyOyster to continuously provide underlying support for the intelligent upgrade of Thousand Questions AI assistant and the overall Alibaba ecosystem.
