According to AIbase, on December 18, Alibaba's Qwen App officially announced its integration with its first ecosystem scenario - AutoNavi Map, marking that the Qwen AI assistant has officially gained the ability to understand and act in the physical world. By integrating AutoNavi's spatiotemporal engine, which is called over 10 billion times a day, and global data of more than 200 million POIs (Points of Interest), Qwen has made a leap from simply "answering questions" to "geospatial reasoning" and "service execution."

In the latest version, Qwen no longer only outputs textual advice but can now instantly generate visual decision cards including restaurants, hotels, pharmacies, and travel plans. Users can directly trigger navigation or ride-hailing services by clicking.

This evolution enables Qwen to accurately handle complex real-world scenarios. Whether it's planning a bus route that avoids traffic restrictions based on city regulations, or extracting addresses from wedding invitation screenshots using visual understanding functions and matching nearby hotels, Qwen handles them effortlessly. For complex tasks such as "go to Lingyin Temple and buy coffee on the way," it can perform "on-the-way constraints" screening based on navigation routes, achieving seamless integration between navigation and lifestyle services.

Alibaba stated that integrating with AutoNavi is just the beginning. More core scenarios such as consumption and payments will be integrated in the future, aiming to transform the Qwen App into a "task-oriented" super entrance capable of accessing a vast fulfillment network and rapidly evolving.
