Alibaba is also making AI devices,QwenBook starting with an office tablet.

Dongcha Beating AI Newsflash: LatePost reports that Alibaba Cloud's Wuying team is developing QwenBook QwenBook, an "native Agent computer" focused on office work, in a form factor closer to a tablet with a keyboard. The team has independently developed the product definition and hardware, while leveraging Wuying's existing system and device-cloud capabilities. It currently integrates Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-Flash.IT Zhi Jia also saw a demonstration unit at the Apsara Conference today.

Simply put, Alibaba wants to embed Qwen directly into the system, enabling Agent QwenBook to access context such as files and meeting records, then call tools to complete tasks, rather than merely serving as a chat app.QwenBook QwenBook has already developed proprietary applications including transcription and note-taking, Wiki, Smart Folders, email, the MyNote knowledge base, and MyZone memory management, and is also working with Kingsoft to integrate WPS.

This differs somewhat from the approach of the Doubao phone. Doubao primarily operates apps already installed on a phone by reading the screen and simulating taps;QwenBook QwenBook is starting with office applications it can control. Doubao's approach has previously encountered restrictions from third-party apps. The newly released Nubia NaviX Ultra is still unable to automatically execute tasks within apps such as WeChat, Taobao, Meituan, and Xiaohongshu.QwenBook QwenBook remains an early-stage exploratory project. LatePost reports that the team has approximately 150 employees and began around April this year; the full product is not expected to be released until the end of this year or the beginning of next year. At this stage, Alibaba appears to be first building an office environment in which Agent QwenBook can genuinely perform work, before gradually connecting third-party software.
