What changed in price and access
What it gives a manager
- Security policies per department: blocked folders, commands that need confirmation, an allowed-sites list and an audit log
- Team at $40 per seat a month: a shared credit pool, an admin console and one bill for the whole team
- Sign-in via SSO or Tencent OneID: access is granted and revoked from the console along with the org structure
- Send a task from Telegram or Slack to your work computer and get the result back in the same chat
Weak points
- No country list: in September the vendor named six markets, in November "more than 21"; Russia was never mentioned.
- The built-in read tool cannot open PDFs: the agent had to install a library itself to pull text out of the report.
- Schedules and tasks sent from Telegram run only while the computer is on and WorkBuddy is running.
- The agent rejected its own first slide draft as ugly and redid it: the trends report took 3 minutes, the deck another 4.
How to check this agent’s work
- In the enterprise edition set blocked paths and commands that need approval, and read the audit log.
- Check the scheduled-run history: did the task run, and with what result.
- Run the outcome through a second model: WorkBuddy lets you pick DeepSeek, GPT or Claude.
Picking an agent takes an evening. After that the question is not the price but whether you can trust what it did.

Example from a review: Nvidia annual report into a deck
The reviewer attached Nvidia's fiscal 2026 annual report PDF (175 pages) from his Downloads folder and asked for a summary. The built-in read tool could not extract PDF text, so the agent installed tooling on its own and returned a summary with financial highlights, segment performance and the Groq acquisition. Asked to 'create a small ppt deck to present these findings', it invoked the Tencent-pptx skill and produced an 8-slide Nvidia-branded deck saved to a folder; the video gives no timing. The reviewer called it a good starter deck that still needs manual edits.

The video authors’ opinions, not our conclusions.
- WorkBuddy: Tencent's AI Agent That Does EVERYTHING · AI Anytime, 14 August 2026The reviewer prefers WorkBuddy to Manus and similar agents for its easy install, uncluttered UI and free start; he did not check the accuracy of the outputs.
- WorkBuddy AI Agent: Best AI Productivity Tool & Agentic AI Demo 2026 · Neural Net, 14 August 2026In the author's view the value is task completion into files rather than the model: a trends report in 3 minutes, a 5-slide deck in 4, a video plan in 26 seconds.
- Tencent's CodeBuddy + WorkBuddy – Full Setup & Review · Code Scrapper (English), 11 September 2026Mostly a CodeBuddy walkthrough (CLI and IDE on the same account) praising free access to DeepSeek, GPT, Gemini and GLM on the free tier; almost nothing on WorkBuddy office tasks.
