What Is WorkBuddy? A Hands-On Look at Tencent's AI Agent, From Download to a Seedance 2.5 Clip

WorkBuddy is Tencent’s international desktop and web-based AI office agent, launched globally in May 2026, that can turn a single prompt into multi-step outputs such as reports, slide outlines, code, and rendered videos by combining preconfigured experts, installable skills, and MCP-based connectors. Available for Mac, Windows, web, and mobile-assisted control, it differs from the China edition in its platform support, sign-in options, pricing, and integrations. The guide tested Atlas Cloud skills with WorkBuddy’s web app to create a six-slide product-launch outline and an eight-second Seedance 2.5 video opener, with the agent writing files, checking model settings, presenting a quote, submitting the job, and attaching the completed MP4 in roughly ten minutes. WorkBuddy’s free tier includes monthly credits, experts, skills, and connectors, while paid plans add larger credit pools, broader model access, automation, and organizational features; external Atlas media generation is billed separately by clip. Users can upload Atlas skill packages or configure an Atlas MCP connector on the desktop client, but should consider API-key handling, task-history settings, and the distinction between Tencent’s WorkBuddy domains and unrelated products with the same name.
