Tencent Cloud has launched WorkBuddy, a productivity-focused AI agent for global users after first rolling out the product in China. The company said WorkBuddy is aimed at office workflows and can use natural language prompts to break down tasks, call external tools, and generate deliverables across work and study scenarios.
WorkBuddy supports remote task execution through messaging apps including Slack, Telegram, Discord, and WeChat, and connects with external tools such as GitHub, Jira, Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, and Slack through MCP. Tencent also said the product includes more than 100 built-in expert roles and supports model integration through API keys. [TechNode reporting]
