On January 15th, the QianWen App unveiled its comprehensive integration with a range of businesses within Alibaba's extensive ecosystem. These include prominent platforms such as Taobao, Alipay, Taobao Flash Sale, Fliggy (a travel service platform), and Amap (a mapping and navigation service). This strategic move positions QianWen as the world's pioneering application to offer AI-driven shopping functionalities, encompassing food delivery orders, online purchases, and flight bookings. The app has now commenced open testing for all users, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of e-commerce.

In comparison, while Google has previously announced its intentions to collaborate with retailers like Walmart on AI-powered shopping initiatives, these partnerships have yet to materialize into official product launches. This contrast highlights QianWen's proactive approach and swift execution in bringing cutting-edge AI technology to the forefront of the retail industry.
