TREE NEWS update: Alibaba’s agent platform Qoder launched two collaboration features, Projects and Discussion, at the 2026 Hangzhou Apsara Conference on September 23. Teams can organize development work within a single project, split goals into specific tasks, and invite colleagues and agents to discuss requirements, review proposals and track execution. Qoder also introduced custom agents and custom agent teams, letting users configure and dispatch agents by task.
Alibaba’s Qoder Agent Platform Adds Project and Discussion Collaboration Features
The notable shift here is organizational rather than technical: Qoder is positioning agents as team members that can be invited into discussions, assigned tasks and tracked alongside human colleagues, which puts Alibaba's platform in direct competition with enterprise collaboration suites rather than just developer tooling. Custom agent teams suggest buyers will be configuring agent workflows by role, making governance and auditability the practical bottleneck. Whether enterprises treat agent participation as a normal part of project management or keep it siloed is the open question.
