[Sources: Alibaba to Integrate Qwen AI with Taobao, Launch Intelligent Shopping Service] According to Jintou News, informed sources revealed that Alibaba (09988.HK) is preparing to announce its plan to integrate its artificial intelligence platform Qwen with the e-commerce platform Taobao. This move aims to facilitate shopping through conversations rather than keyword searches. Reportedly, the integration will allow consumers to interact with an AI assistant via the Qwen app to browse, compare, and purchase products without manually scrolling through product lists. The Qwen app is expected to access the complete catalog of over 4 billion products on Taobao and Tmall, supported by a "skill library" capable of managing logistics and after-sales services. It will also provide shopping recommendations based on users' order history and shopping preferences. Additionally, within the Taobao platform, Alibaba will launch an AI shopping assistant powered by Qwen, featuring tools such as virtual try-ons and 30-day price tracking.
