Alibaba Group has deepened its push into artificial intelligence by launching the public beta of its consumer-facing 'Qwen App' in China. The application, powered by the Qwen3 model, is designed as a smart personal assistant capable of tasks like deep research and generating presentations, and is now available for free on major app stores. An international version is planned for a later date. Simultaneously, the company's B2B e-commerce platform, Alibaba.com, introduced a new 'AI Mode' at its CoCreate Europe event. This feature integrates agentic AI to help automate the cross-border procurement process for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The goal is to allow buyers to use natural language to analyze specifications, compare suppliers, and receive tailored recommendations. These announcements represent a significant strategic effort by Alibaba to integrate its AI technology across both its consumer and business-oriented platforms. While the company is betting on AI to drive future growth and streamline global trade, there was no significant market reaction reported in the immediate aftermath of these specific launches.
