Alibaba Launches Qwen Office E-commerce Agent in Beta

Alibaba officially released the e-commerce edition of Qwen Office on October 14, introducing an AI productivity tool designed to assist merchants with cross-platform operations and data analysis. The new e-commerce agent has officially entered beta testing, allowing users to experience it by switching to the 'e-commerce operation' mode. This release shifts AI tools from passive chat interfaces to active operational agents by addressing deep industry scenarios and integrating with mainstream merchant tools. It helps e-commerce vendors streamline daily tasks such as inventory tracking, ad optimization, and material generation across multiple platforms. The Qwen Office e-commerce edition functions as an independent third-party agent that connects with major tools like生意参谋 (Business Advisor), Youzan, and Qianniu. It features proactive management capabilities that autonomously detect anomalies in inventory, conversion, and after-sales, and handles them upon authorization.
