How Qwen seeded its task assistant on Douyin through everyday-life videos

Qwen ran a ten-creator, all-video Douyin campaign around its new task assistant. Lifestyle vlogs put app demonstrations into wedding preparation, holiday shopping, travel and other chores, with no discount or gift offer.

The idea

Make the task assistant prove its value inside everyday chores

Qwen built the work around “千问上线能干活的任务助理” (Qwen Launches a Task Assistant That Gets Work Done) and “千问APP接入阿里商业生态” (The Qwen App Connects to Alibaba's Commercial Ecosystem), presenting the app as an assistant that completes tasks rather than only retrieving information. Each creator tied a vlog to a specific situation, from wedding preparation and holiday shopping to education support, stray-cat rescue, coastal driving, dating, fandom and outfit planning. Spoken demonstrations showed Taobao shopping-recommendation links, charging-route planning and automatically generated webpage galleries, anchored by “一分钟搞定一小时的事” (Finish an Hour's Work in One Minute).

The campaign addressed urban young women and Gen Z students through a relaxed, aspirational lifestyle tone. There was no price discount or gift mechanism; the offer was a feature-led route to app discovery and download. A matrix of product hashtags, including “#千问ai” (#QwenAI), built search entry points around the platform activity, while spoken instructions told viewers to tap pushed product-link cards to jump through.

Playbook

The first step to copy

  1. 1
    Start with deliberate off-category casting

    Use Xingtu to build a top-heavy pyramid: lead with a head creator, then add mid- and lower-tier creators. Choose general lifestyle voices across romance, family, fashion, comedy and sport, and give each one a concrete chore rather than defaulting to technology reviewers.
