Alibaba Qwen Open Platform launches, opening third-party agents to mobile, PC, and AI glasses
On August 10 the Qwen Open Platform launched, with SF Express, Ziroom, Yingmi Fund, and Tianedaojia among the first batch of partners covering logistics, housing, lifestyle, finance, and automotive.
On August 10, Alibaba's Qwen Open Platform officially launched, opening AI agent integration capabilities to ecosystem partners and developers across three terminals: mobile, PC, and AI glasses.
Through the platform, third parties can create AI agents that present as independent conversation spaces in the Qwen App, delivering a complete service chain from inquiry and recommendation to fulfillment. The first batch of partners covers more than ten verticals including logistics, housing, lifestyle, finance, and automotive, with names like SF Express, Tianedaojia E-Bao, Lenovo Lexiang, Ziroom, Yingmi Fund's Slow Xiaogu, Hello Mobility, Caiyun Weather, Kuaidi100, Flash Delivery, Feichangzhun, Midea Meiju, Dudubus, and others. Meanwhile Cainiao, Quark Netdisk, Quark Scanner and other Alibaba ecosystem products are also integrated.
On Qwen, users simply @ a service or click the dot badge in the top right corner of the page to enter the corresponding agent, completing the full chain from inquiry and recommendation to order placement. Compared with traditional apps, AI agents can support complex user needs through understanding, planning, and memory — for example, the SF Express agent can remember the user's shipping addresses and complete the request directly.
The Qwen Open Platform supports ecosystem partners and developers in integrating existing agents via a standardized protocol, with one-click authorization and end-to-end debugging for fast migration and go-live. The platform provides accounts, AI payments, order integration, and other infrastructure, with built-in frontend components and templates supporting multimodal interaction.
On the AI glasses side, the platform offers both Skill integration and industry customization modes for all developers and industry partners. In Skill mode, developers can even use natural language to customize Skills, such as calling the glasses' camera to build obstacle alerts for visually impaired users. A Huatai Securities research note on August 11 noted that foundation model competition is shifting from product exploration to commercialization in high-value scenarios and enterprise markets, with competition dimensions expanding to high-value token consumption, enterprise penetration, and product distribution capability.
