The AI ride-hailing function, launched on March 23, allows users to request rides through natural conversation rather than navigating multiple booking screens.

Combined, the two rounds now give Qwen users access to discounts, instant coupons, hotel breakfast packages and late checkout benefits, with savings reaching as much as 300 yuan ($44) per booking.
The rapid integration reflects Alibaba’s strategy of pairing foundation models with deeply embedded enterprise scenarios, Wukong’s spokesperson said.

Since the launch of its AI experience initiative on March 30, Qwen has collected more than 100,000 user evaluations.

The Yangtzeer’s reporter tested the service, successfully topping up 50 yuan via voice command and receiving 12 yuan in ride-hailing credit.

Automakers increasingly view vehicles as a natural platform for AI assistants because drivers rely heavily on voice interaction while managing complex, decision-heavy travel scenarios.

The ability to recognize and process such cultural references represents a major leap forward in natural language understanding for AI assistants.

Alibaba’s AI division made notable strides, with its consumer-facing product, Qwen, surpassing 300 million monthly active users.

The recruitment push comes as Alibaba accelerates development of AI agents — software systems designed to execute tasks autonomously on behalf of users — a strategy the company sees as the next evolution of digital services.
