The Hangzhou-based tech giant Alibaba has unveiled the world's first AI capable of completing real-life transactions end to end, allowing users to order food, shop online, book flights, and access government services with a single prompt.

At a Qwen App launch event held in Hangzhou on Jan 15, Alibaba announced a major upgrade to its Qwen AI, fully integrating Taobao, Alipay, Taobao Flash Sales, Fliggy, and AutoNavi Map. More than 400 services — including takeout ordering, ticket booking, and over 50 government services such as those related to visas, household registration, and housing provident funds — are now open for public testing.

During a live demo, Alibaba executive Wu Jia showed the AI completing a bulk milk tea order, payment, and delivery within minutes, all through one command. The system also supports shopping recommendations based on real transaction data, travel bookings, phone-call ordering, and administrative services.

Powered by advances in coding, multimodal understanding, and long-context processing, Qwen now functions as a task assistant capable of multi-step planning, report generation, research, and tool creation. The feature is being trialed on the app and web and will be released for free after testing.

Alibaba said the upgrade marks a shift from chat-based AI to action-oriented AI, positioning Qwen as a super entry point for real-world AI services.
