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
