Chinese language e-commerce large Alibaba’s famously prolific Qwen Group of AI mannequin researchers and engineers has launched a serious growth to its Qwen Deep Analysis software, which is out there as an non-obligatory modality the consumer can activate on the web-based Qwen Chat (a competitor to ChatGPT).
The replace lets customers generate not solely complete analysis studies with well-organized citations, but additionally interactive internet pages and multi-speaker podcasts — all inside 1-2 clicks.
This performance is a part of a proprietary launch, distinct from lots of Qwen’s earlier open-source mannequin choices.
Whereas the function depends on the open-source fashions Qwen3-Coder, Qwen-Picture, and Qwen3-TTS to energy its core capabilities, the end-to-end expertise — together with analysis execution, internet deployment, and audio technology — is hosted and operated by Qwen.
This implies customers profit from a managed, built-in workflow with no need to configure infrastructure. That stated, builders with entry to the open-source fashions may theoretically replicate comparable performance on personal or business techniques.
The replace was introduced through the staff’s official X account (@Alibaba_Qwen) at the moment, October 21, 2025, stating:
“Qwen Deep Research just got a major upgrade. It now creates not only the report, but also a live webpage and a podcast — powered by Qwen3-Coder, Qwen-Image, and Qwen3-TTS. Your insights, now visual and audible.”
Multi-Format Analysis Output
The core workflow begins with a consumer request contained in the Qwen Chat interface. From there, Qwen collaborates by asking clarifying inquiries to form the analysis scope, pulls information from the online and official sources, and analyzes or resolves any inconsistencies it finds — even producing customized code when wanted.
A demo video posted by Qwen on X walks by means of this course of on Qwen Chat utilizing the U.S. SaaS market for example.
In it, Qwen retrieves information from a number of trade sources, identifies discrepancies in market measurement estimates (e.g., $206 billion vs. $253 billion), and highlights ambiguities within the U.S. share of world figures. The assistant feedback on variations in scope between sources and calculates a compound annual progress fee (CAGR) of 19.8% from 2020 to 2023, offering contextual evaluation to again up the uncooked numbers.
As soon as the analysis is full, customers can click on on the "eyeball" icon under the output outcome (see screenshot), which can deliver up a PDF-style report in the proper hand pane.
Then, when viewing the report within the right-hand pane, the consumer can click on the "Create" button within the upper-right hand nook and choose from the next two choices:
"Web Dev" which produces a dwell, professional-grade internet web page, robotically deployed and hosted by Qwen, utilizing Qwen3-Coder for construction and Qwen-Picture for visuals.
"Podcast," which, because it states, produces an audio podcast, that includes dynamic, multi-speaker narration generated by Qwen3-TTS, additionally hosted by Qwen for straightforward sharing and playback.
This permits customers to shortly convert a single analysis undertaking into a number of types of content material — written, visible, and audible — with minimal additional enter.
The web site contains inline graphics generated by Qwen Picture, making it appropriate to be used in public shows, school rooms, or publishing.
The podcast function permits customers to pick out between 17 totally different speaker names because the host and seven because the co-host, although I wasn't capable of finding a option to preview the voice outputs earlier than choosing them. It seems designed for deep listening on the go.
There was no option to change the language output that I may see, so mine got here out in English, like my studies and preliminary prompts, although the Qwen LLMs are multi-modal. The voices had been barely extra robotic than different AI instruments I've used.
Right here's an instance of an internet web page I generated on commonalities in authoritarian regimes all through historical past, one other one on UFO or UAP sightings, and under this paragraph, a podcast on UFO or UAP sightings.
Whereas the web site is hosted through a public hyperlink, the podcast have to be downloaded by the consumer and may't be linked to publicly, from what I may inform in my transient utilization thus far.
Observe the podcast is far totally different than the precise report — not only a straight read-through audio model of it, somewhat, a brand new format of two hosts discussing and bantering concerning the topic utilizing the report because the leaping off level.
The net web page variations of the report additionally embody new graphics not discovered within the PDF report.
Comparisons to Google's NotebookLM
Whereas the brand new capabilities have been effectively acquired by many early customers, comparisons to different analysis assistants have surfaced — notably Google’s NotebookLM, which lately exited beta.
AI commentator and publication author Chubby (@kimmonismus) famous on X:
“I am really grateful that Qwen provides regular updates. That’s great.
But the attempt to build a NotebookLM clone inside Qwen-3-max doesn’t sound very promising compared to Google’s version.”
Whereas NotebookLM is constructed round organizing and querying present paperwork and internet pages, Qwen Deep Analysis focuses extra on producing new analysis content material from scratch, aggregating sources from the open internet, and presenting it throughout a number of modalities.
The comparability means that whereas the 2 instruments overlap normally idea — AI-assisted analysis — they diverge in method and goal consumer expertise.
Availability
Qwen Deep Analysis is now dwell and obtainable by means of the Qwen Chat app. The function may be accessed with the next URL.
No pricing particulars have been offered for Qwen3-Max or the precise Deep Analysis capabilities as of this writing.
What's Subsequent For Qwen Deep Analysis?
By combining analysis steerage, information evaluation, and multi-format content material creation right into a single software, Qwen Deep Analysis goals to streamline the trail from concept to publishable output.
The combination of code, visuals, and voice makes it particularly enticing to content material creators, educators, and impartial analysts who need to scale their analysis into web- or podcast-friendly kinds with out switching platforms.
Nonetheless, comparisons to extra specialised choices like NotebookLM increase questions on how Qwen’s generalized method stacks up on depth, precision, and refinement. Whether or not the energy of its multi-format execution outweighs these issues could come all the way down to consumer priorities — and whether or not they worth single-click publishing over tight integration with present notes and supplies.
For now, Qwen is signaling that analysis doesn’t finish with a doc — it begins with one.
Let me know if you need this repackaged into one thing shorter or tailor-made to a selected viewers — publication, press-style weblog, inside staff explainer, and many others.
