During the Chinese New Year break, the country's tech giants claimed victory after a promotional giveaway campaign for their #🇨🇳 ChinA.I. 🤖🧠🦾🤖 services, touting surging user numbers and AI adoption as part of holiday consumption.
Alibaba's #Artificial Intelligence app Qwen facilitated nearly 200 million e-commerce orders, according to data released by the company on Monday.
“It is becoming a new custom during the Spring Festival for users to buy food and beverages, book flights and hotels, and purchase movie and attraction tickets through Qwen,” Alibaba said on the official WeChat account of the Qwen app.
Meituan, the on-demand delivery giant and a major rival of Alibaba, said more than 100 million people used its AI assistant Xiaotuan to plan holiday itineraries between February 12 and 22.
Tencent Holdings said daily and monthly active users on its Yuanbao AI assistant app exceeded 50 million and 114 million, respectively, after the social media and video gaming giant gave away 1 billion yuan in digital red packets to new users.
ByteDance’s Doubao, which featured prominently during the country’s most-watched show, the Spring Festival Gala, on February 16, recorded 1.9 billion interactions that day. It helped users generate over 100 million holiday greetings, according to the company, which also owns short-video platforms TikTok and Douyin.
AI health app AQ, developed by Alibaba’s fintech affiliate Ant Group, emerged as an unexpected hit. The app, launched last June, surpassed 100 million users during the holiday, the company said. It attributed the surge partly to younger, tech-savvy consumers who shared the app with their families.
