❯ Qwen Open Platform Launches, Enabling Services Across Phones, PCs, and AI Glasses

THREE-TERMINALAlibaba’s Qwen Open Platform has officially launched, opening service integration for phones, PCs, and AI glasses to ecosystem partners in its first batch, covering more than a dozen sectors including logistics, rental housing, finance, and autos. Users can directly @ a relevant service or tap a badge to launch an agent, completing the full journey from consultation and recommendation to placing an order.

FIRST BATCHFirst-batch partners include SF Express, Ziru, and Lenovo — service providers spanning logistics, rentals, and office hardware — plus Alibaba ecosystem products such as Cainiao and Quark, giving the platform notably broader coverage than the agent store the Qwen App previously tested on its own. On the AI glasses side, the platform currently offers two models: skill integration and industry customization. Developers can even define skills directly in natural language — for example, calling the “camera” interface to build an “environment broadcast” feature for visually impaired users.

ENTRY POINTFor small and mid-sized service providers, the Qwen Open Platform is effectively an additional distribution entry point that lets them embed directly into conversational scenarios without building their own app, at a far lower integration cost than building a mini-program or standalone app. For Alibaba itself, it pushes Qwen one step further from a chat application toward a unified orchestration layer for everyday services, putting it in direct competition with local-life platforms like Meituan and Douyin, all vying for developers at the same traffic entry point.

▪ SIGNALWhat Qwen is competing for this time isn’t the chat entry point — it’s the single click that invokes a service inside an AI conversation.
