Chinese technology giant Alibaba has unveiled Tongyi Qianwen, an AI chatbot which the company intends to incorporate into all of its business applications. The application is described as an efficiency assistant and idea-generator, and can operate in both English and Chinese. It will be integrated into workspace messaging application DingTalk and Tmall Genie, Alibaba’s smart voice assistant. The chatbot is currently only available to corporate clients and a select few media outlets, and is being used as a foundation for custom large language models. Developers can access a beta version of the Tongyi Qianwen.
