Qianwen suddenly announces: Free trial event extended by 3 days

Shanghai Securities News China Securities Network News (Reporter Yang Xiangfei) February 14 — Qianwen suddenly announced an extension of the free order promotion for an additional three days. From 3 p.m. that afternoon until the first day of the Lunar New Year, each person can receive an additional 10 “Super Free Order Cards” worth 25 yuan. At the same time, by connecting with Damai and Fliggy, users can experience new features such as AI purchasing movie tickets, tickets, and more.

Compared to the first wave of free cards, the “Super Free Order Card” has a broader usage scope. In addition to ordering meals and stocking up on New Year goods, it can also be used to buy movie tickets, tickets, book hotels, and flights on Qianwen.

It is reported that Qianwen is the first AI assistant to enable voice-based movie ticket purchases. Simply open the Qianwen app, say “Our family of three wants to watch ‘Flying Past Life 3’ on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Help me find the nearest theater to home, and seats don’t need to be too front,” and Qianwen will automatically select the theater, showtime, and seats, generate an order, and the user can click to pay and get the ticket—all within about ten seconds.

Sources say that Qianwen will also gradually integrate new features such as AI ride-hailing, mobile phone recharge, Gaode street sweep group buying, and Taobao shopping. All of these can be used with the “Super Free Order Card,” which is valid until April 30.

The activity page shows that new users opening the Qianwen app will receive a 25 yuan “Super Free Order Card” directly, which can be used immediately after the activity starts. Additionally, for each new friend invited to download the Qianwen app, both parties will receive one “Super Free Order Card,” with a maximum of 10 cards. The card collection activity is limited to three days.

Netizens have compiled a “card collection” guide: return to their hometown, and directly share the cards with relatives, friends, and classmates at gatherings, collecting all 10 Super Free Order Cards on the spot.

An insider from Qianwen stated, “The first wave of free order activities exceeded expectations significantly. On the first day, the order volume was ten times the estimate, and engagement and retention metrics are very good. Besides AI ordering and New Year shopping, many users also want to experience more AI Agent features. Therefore, we decided to launch the ‘Super Free Order Card’ to invite people nationwide to continue experiencing the new lifestyle brought by the AI era.”

On February 13, despite the first wave of free order activities ending, the Qianwen app still ranked first on the Apple App Store free charts, marking the eighth consecutive day Qianwen has topped the charts.

According to QuestMobile data, on February 7, Qianwen’s daily active users (DAU) reached 73.52 million, far surpassing Yuanbao and approaching Doubao—Qianwen has matched Doubao’s user base in just three months, a scale that took Doubao three years to achieve. Industry insiders say this set a new record for app growth in nearly ten years.

Following the AI shopping wave sparked by Qianwen, American tech giant Google is quickly following suit. On February 11, Google announced that it has added shopping features to its AI assistant Gemini, allowing consumers to shop at any time within the AI search mode and Gemini chat.
