Alibaba releases Qwen Office 2.0, bringing AI agents into DingTalk work groups
DingTalk says the release adds multi-person and agent collaboration, event-triggered automatic tasks and in-document co-editing; all features are live in the client.
Why it matters
Qwen Office 2.0 moves Alibaba's office agent from serving one user to serving teams: a shared workspace links several DingTalk chats, documents, AI tables and meeting notes so a digital employee can track progress, summarise consensus and follow up on tasks. Automatic tasks let the agent start work when set events occur, such as a named person's message or an approval request. It competes with ByteDance and Tencent office agents in China. Watch for adoption figures and pricing.
