Alibaba’s Qwen app has added scheduled tasks, an office assistant, voice calls, a research mode and an agent marketplace, while adding support for the Qwen3.8-Max flagship model.

The scheduled-task feature can handle recurring work such as compiling industry news and sorting emails. The office assistant can connect to notes, calendars and email, operate browsers, process files and generate office documents. The app also supports cross-device workflows in which tasks started on a phone can be executed on a PC. [TechNode reporting]
