Qianwen Office 2.0 swaps in Qwen4-Max, tested against WorkBuddy

On November 9, Qwen Office released version 2.0, described as its largest upgrade in the three months since launch. The release introduced a collaboration feature for multi-user and Agent work, which 36Kr, Leiphone and InfoQ China all described as the industry's first such capability, alongside human-machine co-creation, a data workspace, scheduled automation and cross-client sync. The framing is a shift from Agents that serve individuals toward Agents that serve teams and organizations; Leiphone and InfoQ China call it a Team Agent collaboration framework. All features are now available across the Qwen Office clients. In a same-day blog post, "Qwen Office 2.0: Proactive and Collaborative, Toward the Team Agent Era," the company argued that mainstream office Agents still center on individual use and that team collaboration itself has not changed, so the next generation of Agents needs to work where teams actually collaborate.

The core of the release is the collaboration space, which brings an Agent into work groups. Users set up a space where a team and a digital employee work side by side. Within it, the digital employee connects to multiple DingTalk group chats, documents, AI spreadsheets and AI meeting notes, processes several conversations in parallel, and manages tasks and assignments. When a member assigns a task, the digital employee draws on the space's context to track progress, summarize consensus, create to-dos and follow them up. InfoQ China adds that the new automation feature lets an Agent proactively run tasks when events or rules trigger them.

Qwen Office cites the card and voucher operations team at Intime Department Store as an early adopter, saying the capability improved that team's efficiency. Previously, five operators handled related work across more than 60 stores. Leiphone's report cuts off at that point, so further detail on the Intime deployment is not available in the available material.
