en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 14, 2026, Alibaba's AI Qwen officially launched its Table Agent feature, allowing users to directly generate and edit Excel files through natural language conversation. Users can request Qwen to search for information and then generate a table, organize multi-turn conversation content into a table, or generate one based on images or files. The system can output a downloadable Excel file within 1 to 2 minutes, eliminating the need for secondary copy-pasting, and supports modifications via natural language. This functional upgrade marks the evolution of large model applications from "providing text answers" to "delivering direct results."
In terms of technical implementation, Qwen breaks down table generation into a complete Agent execution chain. Starting from the user's input requirements, the system first performs task planning, determining whether code writing or data consultation is needed, then precisely executes complex operations step by step. The Agent writes code in an independent sandbox environment, generating professional Excel files with real formulas, conditional formatting, complex layouts, and data logic. When the system determines that existing information is insufficient to support table generation, it automatically triggers online searches to supplement data.
Qwen's Table Agent possesses multimodal input capabilities. Users can upload PDF, Word, or PPT files, or directly take photos of hand-drawn charts, payslips, etc. The system can accurately recognize the content and generate structured Excel files. Furthermore, this feature does not rely on fixed templates and can directly output standard Excel files. Users can also perform in-depth editing of generated tables using natural language, such as requesting format adjustments, data modifications, or adding calculated columns.
The application scenarios for this feature are broad, covering information organization, data cleaning, report generation, and more. For example, users can input "organize the latest VAT preferential policies into an Excel file" or "compile English grammar knowledge into a printable table," and the system will automatically search and generate the corresponding files. Enterprise users can directly convert key points from multi-round meeting discussions into tables or batch-generate data reports based on project documents.
The launch of Qwen's Table Agent aligns with the trend of large models extending into structured data processing. Alibaba Cloud released the Qwen3.5 series models on February 16, 2026, explicitly designed for the "Agent AI Era." Subsequently, from March 30 to April 2, 2026, Alibaba's Tongyi Lab intensively released the Qwen3.5-Omni full-modal interaction model, the Wan2.7-Image image model, and the Qwen3.6-Plus flagship model, continuously strengthening Agent capabilities and multimodal processing performance. The launch of the Table Agent represents the concrete implementation of this series of capability iterations in office scenarios.
