On August 27, 2026, Alibaba launched the new Qoder, redefining its positioning from a “smart agent programming platform for real software” to one “more than just programming”. Its target users were expanded from developers to everyone. The new version of Qoder integrates three product lines: QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun, defining it as “a flagship unified AI-native productivity smart agent”. The interface now displays both “general” and “coding” functions simultaneously in the upper left corner of the input box, allowing users to generate documents using browsers, computer applications, and local files after describing tasks in natural language. Although this integrated product was launched less than a month after the public beta test of Qianwen Office, and there are issues such as overlapping functions and incomplete integration of account systems between the two products, some users still use the old version of QoderWork. However, it is speculated that the integration of related products may not be fully completed by the end of 2026.
On August 27, Alibaba launched the new Qoder, shifting its positioning from “an intelligent programming platform for real software” to “more than just programming”. The target users were expanded from developers to “everyone”. Less than a month after Qianwen Office began public beta testing, this product, integrated from QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun, was defined as “the flagship unified AI-native productivity intelligent agent”. In the new version of Qoder, “general-purpose” and “coding” were listed side by side in the upper left corner of the input box, allowing natural language descriptions to trigger the invocation of browsers, computer applications, and local files to generate documents. Although Qianwen Office had integrated three product lines, Alibaba launched a new Qoder capable of handling general office tasks within less than a month, and its interface design received more positive reviews. Currently, the functions of the two products overlap, and the account system is not fully integrated; some users still use the old version of QoderWork. It is speculated that the integration of related products may not be fully completed until the end of 2026.
