Internal “green light”: It is reported that WorkBuddy has become one of Tencent’s AI application strategic priority products

IT House reported on August 8 that Jiemian News reported today that since May this year, Tencent WorkBuddy’s advertisements have spread from Beijing Zhichun Road to Shenzhen High-tech Park. When you turn on your phone, WorkBuddy is almost everywhere in the information flow of the head application. According to reports, this is a rare saturated product launch by Tencent in recent years. Behind this intensive offensive is Tencent’s concentrated tilt in channels, computing power, organization and ecological resources. According to Tencent CSIG sources, WorkBuddy has become one of Tencent's highest strategic priority products in AI applications, and there is also talk within the company of being "the third strategic product after QQ and WeChat." In addition to Ma Huateng's personal participation in product meetings, most of the computing power, technology and market resource requirements proposed by the team were quickly approved and were described as a "green light" within Tencent. At the same time, many Tencent employees believe that WorkBuddy has a high probability of entering Tencent's "Famous Product Hall" this year, which is one of Tencent's highest honors for landmark products. Analysys analysis data shows that Tencent WorkBuddy ranked first in the domestic PC-side AI native office intelligent market with more than 20 million monthly visits in June, surpassing the combined number of second-placed Tencent TRAE and third-placed Alibaba QoderWork. IT House learned that WorkBuddy is a desktop-level AI native office agent (AI Agent) workbench launched by Tencent. Not only can it provide suggestions like an ordinary chat assistant, it can also understand natural language, autonomously disassemble and plan multi-step tasks, directly read and write local files and call tools to deliver results.
