Tencent WorkBuddy is now becoming China’s #1 PC-based productivity AI agent.

Tell it what you need, then it reads files, calls tools, writes reports, builds decks, analyzes data, uses 100+ expert roles.

Connects to GitHub, Jira, Notion, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack and more through MCP, runs tasks in a sandbox, and can even be controlled from Slack, Telegram, Discord, or WeChat when you are away from your desk.

WorkBuddy breaks a big task into smaller jobs, picks the right skills or connected apps for each job, and for complex work it can use Expert Teams where multiple specialized sub-agents work in parallel while 1 lead agent coordinates the final output.

So if you ask for a report, it is not just generating text. It can read the file, send the data-analysis part to an analyst-style expert, send the writing part to another expert, use connectors like Google Drive or Gmail if needed, and then combine everything into a finished file.

👋 Here are a few practical use cases you can do immediately with it.

- Read PDFs, images, and documents, then organizes the extracted content. - Create reports, proposals, manuals, and presentations from raw material. - Analyze spreadsheets, finds trends, and turns data into charts. - Create platform-ready posts, scripts, articles, and content ideas. - Automatically research news and sends scheduled summaries to your channels. - Run desktop tasks from Slack on your phone. Manage Calendar and Drive tasks directly through conversation. - Build working apps without needing you to code. - Turn repeated workflows into reusable WorkBuddy skills.

For my own workflow, I installed Tavily AI Search because I post a lot about research papers on X.

And paper content needs outside context: project pages, GitHub repos, author links, related papers, previous methods, and the reason a paper is worth posting about. @TencentAI_News

On safety: WorkBuddy runs tasks in a secure sandbox by default, and it only touches local files when you clearly give permission

Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai

The phone control feature is a nice practical detail.

You can send a task from Slack, Telegram, Discord, or WeChat, let the desktop agent work on your computer, and get the result back even when you are not sitting at your desk.

For example, if you upload a dataset and ask for a report, the useful part is not the summary alone.

It can analyze the file, find the important points, write the report, format it, and return something much closer to a finished work file.

Here, I’m using NVIDIA’s financial report inside Tencent WorkBuddy to analyze the numbers, find the biggest business trends, and turn the data into a clean visual dashboard with charts and simple insights.

The part I liked most is that WorkBuddy feels closer to a teammate than a chatbot.

It will take a task, break it down, use the right skills, and give you a finished output you can actually use.

It turns a plain idea or dataset into an interactive website, where it plans the layout, writes the frontend code, adds visual sections, and creates something that looks like a usable web product instead of just giving me text.

For bigger tasks, WorkBuddy can use Expert Teams.

That means 1 agent can research, another can write code, another can draft the report, and a lead agent coordinates the whole thing, which is closer to how real team work happens.

Connectors work like authenticated bridges between WorkBuddy and your existing tools, so after you approve access through OAuth or API credentials, the agent can pull context from apps like GitHub, Jira, Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, and Slack during the task itself.

That means the agent is not working from copied text alone; it can read the live workspace, take actions like creating tickets or drafting emails, and combine those app-level steps into 1 larger workflow.

The Skill Marketplace works like a capability layer for WorkBuddy: you install specific skills such as web search, browser control, document creation, Google Drive, calendar, transcription, or frontend design, and the agent can call those skills when a task needs them.

So WorkBuddy is not limited to whatever it can answer from the model alone; it can expand its toolset, use the right skill for the job, and even scan skills for risky behavior before installation.

The Expert Center gives WorkBuddy a role-selection layer, where you can summon a specialist like a data analyst, copywriter, full-stack developer, UI/UX designer, or business analyst instead of using the same general AI behavior for every task.

So when the task changes, the agent can switch its working style, prompts, and domain assumptions to match the job, which makes it feel less like 1 generic assistant and more like calling the right teammate for the right problem.

Memory gives WorkBuddy a user-specific context layer, so it can remember your recurring preferences, writing style, work habits, and past instructions instead of treating every new session like a blank chat.

The interesting part is that it can also import habits from other AI products, which means WorkBuddy can start with your existing workflow patterns instead of learning everything from scratch.
