Alibaba Qianwen APP has more than 100 million monthly active users, connected to the AI e-commerce ecosystem and comprehensively tested the AI shopping function

Two months after the launch of Ali Qianwen APP, the number of monthly active users on the C-end exceeded 100 million, and students and white-collar users grew rapidly. Competing product traffic platforms imposed restrictions on it, and the stock price continued to rise by 5%. Qianwen plans to release a blockbuster product iteration this Thursday, showing business growth and innovation momentum. Alibaba Cloud plans to account for 80% of China's AI cloud market growth in 2026, pushing the company's stock price up sharply. The market is optimistic about the growth prospects of its AI and cloud business. Qianwen APP will hold a press conference on January 15th, announcing that it has achieved access to Taobao Flash Sale, Flying Pig and other platforms. Users can complete takeaway ordering, air ticket booking and other operations in one sentence, promote the construction of the world's first AI e-commerce ecosystem, and comprehensively test the AI shopping function and open it to all users for testing, marking the official opening of the AI service era.
