WorkBuddy is Tencent’s AI agent for office work, released under the CodeBuddy brand as a new paradigm for agent-powered productivity. Instead of answering one question at a time, WorkBuddy takes on multi-step office tasks and carries them through on your behalf — researching, drafting, crunching data and coordinating schedules inside Tencent’s work ecosystem.
WorkBuddy sits inside the tools Chinese teams already use every day. It connects with WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) and the wider Tencent workplace suite, so the agent can reach your documents, messages, meetings and files rather than working in an isolated chat window. You describe the outcome you want — a briefing document, a cleaned-up dataset, a week’s schedule coordinated across a team — and WorkBuddy breaks the job into steps, executes them, and reports back with the finished work instead of a wall of suggestions. It has quickly become one of the most talked-about AI agent products in China, as big tech races to ship personal and workplace agents that keep working between conversations.
WorkBuddy follows a freemium model, with a free way to try the agent and paid plans for individuals and teams that need more capacity and enterprise features.
Office workers, team leads and companies already running on WeCom and Tencent’s workplace tools who want an agent that does the follow-through work — preparing documents, wrangling data and keeping schedules moving — instead of another chatbot to prompt. It is aimed primarily at the Chinese workplace market.
