❯ Tencent launches Buddy One and cloud storage to connect AI office workflows

WorkBuddy becomes the workspaceTencent introduced the Buddy One office suite and Tencent cloud storage at its October 29 Digital Ecosystem Summit. According to Sina Technology’s event report, Buddy One connects tools including Tencent Docs, ima and cloud storage through WorkBuddy, using a unified account and credit pool. AI can call different tools to create multimodal content that teams can revise and review together.

Answers across authorized applicationsIT Home’s walkthrough says users can connect application accounts through the management center after updating the WorkBuddy desktop client to version 5.9.0 or later. WorkBuddy can search authorized documents, meeting records and knowledge bases, then produce answers with source references. This reduces copying between applications and repeated authorization. Shared cross-application memory is planned for a later stage.

Keeping an agent’s working contextTencent cloud storage is intended to hold company content alongside the context and outputs accumulated by agents. Context includes the materials and history needed to understand a task. Saving it in a common repository allows teams to reuse authorized materials in later work, rather than repeatedly assembling inputs for isolated conversations.

Shared benefits and consumptionBuddy One credits can be used across WorkBuddy, Tencent Docs, ima and cloud storage. A continuously renewed VIP subscription costs RMB700 per month and includes premium WorkBuddy, Meeting and Docs plans plus 1TB of storage. The common balance brings cross-application work and AI consumption into the same workspace.
