## Summary

CaoCao Inc. announced on September 22 at the 2026 Apsara Conference a partnership with Qwen AI Glasses to roll out an AI‑powered, hands‑free ride‑hailing service. Users will wear the glasses, state a destination, and the system will automatically identify pickup and drop‑off points, choose a route, and provide real‑time trip updates on visual cards.

The service builds on CaoCao’s existing integrations with Doubao Mobile Assistant, HONOR YOYO and OPPO Breeno, extending its on‑device AI hardware ecosystem to smart wearables. Technically, the solution uses a two‑layer architecture: CaoCao’s MCP Server is registered as a plugin on the Qwen Open Platform, while a Qwen AI Glasses Skill orchestrates service calls, voice output and on‑screen presentation. This design lets each side iterate independently, aiming for smoother user experiences.

The partnership creates a closed loop of device sensing, model understanding via the Qwen foundation model, and service fulfillment by CaoCao, illustrating a growing trend of integrating AI directly into consumer hardware for everyday mobility tasks.

## Key points

- CaoCao and Qwen AI Glasses announced a joint hands‑free ride‑hailing service on Sep 22.
- The system uses Qwen foundation model and CaoCao’s MCP Server plugin on the Qwen Open Platform.
- Service integrates with Doubao Mobile Assistant, HONOR YOYO and OPPO Breeno, expanding on‑device AI hardware ecosystem.

## Why it matters

The deal shows how AI models and hardware can combine to create seamless, voice‑driven mobility services, signaling a shift toward AI‑enabled wearables in everyday transport.
