Alibaba has launched the international edition of QwenWork, an artificial intelligence agent platform designed to automate workplace tasks across web and desktop environments.
The platform is available in public beta through the QwenWork website and desktop client, initially targeting users and businesses in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
QwenWork currently supports English and simplified Chinese. Alibaba said it plans to add Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages.
The platform combines capabilities from three of Alibaba’s existing AI agent services — QoderWork, MuleRun, and Wukong — into a single system.
After receiving user authorization, the agent can navigate websites, operate a local computer, and carry out multi-step tasks based on natural-language instructions.
QwenWork is offered through individual and enterprise subscription plans supported by a credit system. Users can choose between Standard and Advanced model tiers depending on the complexity of their tasks.
The Standard tier includes Alibaba’s Qwen3.8 Flash model, which the company claims uses 75% fewer tokens per task and generates responses at roughly twice the speed of the platform’s previous model.
The desktop client also includes an opt-in feature called Awareness, which retains user preferences, working conventions, and previous context across sessions. Users may disable the feature at any time. Completed workflows can also be stored as reusable skills.
QwenWork includes tools for creating and deploying websites, with hosting, database services, and custom-domain support. Alibaba said users can issue instructions such as “build and deploy a static course homepage for Data Structures and Algorithms” to produce a publicly accessible site without manually writing code or configuring a server.
The platform can also generate images, videos, and audio. Other capabilities include document generation, research, voice input, file analysis, cloud-based task scheduling, browser automation, and authorized operations on locally stored files.
QwenWork supports registration using Google accounts or email addresses. Alibaba said it plans to connect the platform with more enterprise productivity tools through a connector framework.
Alibaba initially introduced QwenWork in China in early August. The company said the platform ranked first among eight workplace AI agents in a proprietary evaluation conducted by investment bank Jefferies on Aug. 17.
The company did not disclose pricing for the international subscription plans or a timeline for the platform’s full commercial release.
