Tencent WorkBuddy is an AI agent built for everyday office work. Make a request. Guide your AI expert team. Bring in a second opinion. Get sharpened, ready-to-use results.
AI made the thinking part faster, but you still spend hours turning "the response" into an actual file. WorkBuddy closes the execution gap with a team of AI experts that helps produce sharpened, ready-to-deliver results.
Here's how it works:
Pick an expert team.
Describe what you need in plain language.
The team gets to work in parallel, dividing the task, cross-checking each other, and synthesizing everything into sharpened, ready-to-deliver results.
Not sure which way to go? You can also bring in another expert opinion to guide the direction.
Why you want WorkBuddy:
A team, not a bot: experts cross-check each other into sharpened results
100+ Pre-built Expert Teams: across every domain, call them like a colleague, not a tool
You stay in control: bring in another opinion and guide the direction, at any point
Parallel by default: multiple agents run in parallel, no waiting in line
Real deliverables: finished files in your folders, not trapped in a chat
To celebrate our launch, we're giving the first 300 users who come from Product Hunt an extra 500 Credits. First come, first served. Claim by July 20 🎉 Claim here → [link]
@sherina_chen Congrats on the launch! The framing of "execution gap" really resonates — I think a lot of AI tools solve the thinking bottleneck but leave you alone with the "now turn this into something deliverable" part. Curious how the cross-checking between experts works in practice — does the system flag disagreements between agents to the user, or does it resolve them internally before showing the final output?
@mavoungou_malahim_kiamet_zenou Both, actually, depending on what you ask for. The team synthesizes into a final output, but if you want the disagreements surfaced, just say so in your brief and each expert's take stays visible. The "execution gap" you mentioned is exactly why we built it this way. Getting to a deliverable shouldn't mean losing the nuance along the way. Best way to see it is to run one real task through it. Grab your free credits at workbuddy.ai and watch a team debate something you'd normally do solo. Would love to hear how it holds up!

@sherina_chen Thanks for the detailed answer — that's a smart default (synthesize by default, surface disagreement on request). Most tools I've seen force one behavior or the other, so letting the user choose per-brief is a nice touch. Will give it a spin on a real task and let you know how it goes.
@sherina_chen@mavoungou_malahim_kiamet_zenou the execution gap is real. most people's relationship with AI tools is: ask, accept, move on. having agents actually challenge each other's output before it reaches you is a better default than trusting a single pass. curious how you handle edge cases where the experts give genuinely conflicting recommendations -- does the user always see that tension or can they choose to resolve it themselves?
Report
@sherina_chen Congrats on the launch! I was wondering: if a team of experts runs in parallel on a single task (say, research, drafting, and QA), is it possible to assign a different model to each expert?
Report
Really like finished files in folders instead of answers trapped in chat! The last mile is where agent tools usually stall. QQ - when 2 experts genuinely disagree at synthesis, who wins? Congrats on the launch!
@artstavenka1 Thank you! We feel the same — the last mile should be finished work in the right place, not just another answer trapped in chat.
When two experts genuinely disagree, no one automatically “wins.” The synthesis step weighs the disagreement against the user’s goal, task context, constraints, and the reasoning behind each view.
If one side is clearly better supported, the final output follows that direction. If it’s a real tradeoff, we try to preserve that in the result by showing the recommendation, the alternative, and the reason for the choice. The goal is for disagreement to sharpen the final work, not get smoothed away.
@artstavenka1 Thanks! Just to add to Caddy's point, you can actually watch the experts debate it out in the thinking process, and every perspective stays in the final result, so you can see exactly how the conclusion came together.
Report
Congrats on the launch! This looks like it could save a lot of time for managers. Do you have examples of tasks where WorkBuddy performs better than a single-agent workflow?
Thanks so much for the support and the great question!
Yes,we've seen many tasks where a multi-expert workflow outperforms a single-agent approach, especially for more complex, end-to-end work that involves planning, research, execution, and delivery.
@sandy_liusy Great question! Tasks that benefit most are ones where different angles actually matter — like a go-to-market plan (where you want a strategist, a content person, and a data analyst all weighing in), or a competitive analysis (where one agent researches, another challenges the assumptions, and a third synthesizes). Single-agent gets you a draft. A team gets you something you can actually use. Give it a try and let us know what you're working on. Happy to suggest which expert team fits!
Report
This looks like a huge time-saver! I've been struggling to coordinate different AI tools for my projects, so having a unified team of AI experts sounds ideal. How exactly do the different AI "experts" communicate with each other within the platform?
@doganakbulut Good question! It's simpler than wiring a bunch of bots together. In the same chat you can switch between experts on the fly, whatever the task needs. And if you summon an Expert Team instead of a single expert, they collaborate directly, so one's work carries into the next without you copy-pasting between them. If you want to see how they think through disagreements, just ask and every take can stay visible in the final result. Less a pile of tools you coordinate, more a team you can call on right where you're working.
Our expert teams collaborate through structured workflows. Each expert is responsible for a different part of the task based on their domain knowledge and specialized skills. They share context, pass along intermediate results, and coordinate their work so the next expert can continue seamlessly.
The goal is to make complex tasks feel as effortless as working with a well-coordinated professional team.
For enterprise teams, governance will matter. Are there admin controls for which files WorkBuddy can access, where outputs are saved, and what context is remembered?
@jocky Great question — completely agree that governance becomes critical for enterprise teams.
WorkBuddy is designed around explicit authorization rather than open-ended access. Teams can control which file locations WorkBuddy is allowed to access, and in enterprise scenarios permissions can be scoped even further by expert/agent role — for example, a data expert can access the data folder while a writing expert only accesses templates.
Outputs are also controllable. By default, WorkBuddy saves results into an authorized local folder, and teams can configure output destinations such as Tencent Cloud COS or Google Drive.
For memory, we think it has to be treated as governed context, not hidden context. WorkBuddy supports memory capabilities, but for enterprise use our principle is that remembered context should respect the same permission boundaries, be intentional, and be manageable by the team — not silently accumulate in the background.
So yes, admin controls around access, output location, identity, and context governance are a major part of how we think about WorkBuddy for enterprise teams.
@jocky Thanks for asking! That's definitely an important one.
With WorkBuddy, you decide what it can access, and tasks run inside an isolated sandbox. You also control where files are saved.
Another thing worth mentioning is that project memory stays local to each workspace, so context isn't shared across projects.
If you're looking at it for enterprise use, we also rely on Tencent Cloud's infrastructure for permission management, runtime auditing, and compliance support.
Happy to dive deeper if you have a particular use case in mind!
@ledo Glad to hear, Congratulations on the launch!

the cross-check between experts is the part i'm most curious about - when one expert flags something, does that actually change the final synthesized output, or does the merge step just blend everyone's take together and the disagreement quietly disappears? in my own multi-agent setups the hard part was never getting different perspectives, it was making sure a real objection survives the final combine step instead of getting smoothed over
@omri_ben_shoham1 Great point — and I completely agree. The hard part is not getting multiple perspectives; it’s making sure a real objection doesn’t get averaged away in the final combine step.
In WorkBuddy, we don’t want synthesis to behave like a simple blender. When one expert flags something, that signal should affect the final output: it may lead to a correction, a caveat, a reframed recommendation, or an explicit note that there is a tradeoff or unresolved disagreement.
So the merge step is closer to an editor/moderator than a voting mechanism. It looks at the user’s goal, task context, constraints, and the reasoning behind each expert’s input. If an objection is valid, it should survive into the final result rather than disappear quietly.
This is also an area we care a lot about and are continuing to improve — especially around making objections more traceable, so users can see how expert feedback changed the final deliverable.
@omri_ben_shoham1 Just to add, you can actually watch the experts debate it out in the thinking process, and every perspective stays laid out in the final result, so you can trace how the conclusion came together.

appreciate both replies. the editor/moderator framing makes sense and being able to watch the debate in the thinking process is actually the part that would sell me, that's a much better trust signal than just trusting a summary. only thing i'd add is that most people won't read the full debate every time, so the trace needs to surface itself automatically when there was real disagreement, not just be available if you go dig for it
@blink_66 Thank you! Right now, users can choose the experts they need based on the actual task and then launch the collaboration. The task prompt gives WorkBuddy the context, and the selected team determines which experts are available to join.
We’re also working on expert recommendations powered by the prompt and memory, so WorkBuddy can suggest the right experts automatically and help people get all kinds of work done faster and better.
@blink_66 Right now, it's user-driven. You choose the experts based on your task. We've organized them into categories (Content Creation, Investment Analysis, Legal Consulting and more) so it's easy to find the right fit, and you can also search by title or create your own custom expert. Smart recommendations based on prompt and memory are on the roadmap!
Report
Hi, How do you decide when an AI task should be handled by one expert agent versus an entire team of agents?
It mainly depends on the complexity of the task. For straightforward requests, a single expert is usually the fastest and most efficient choice. But for longer, more complex tasks—especially those involving planning, research across multiple sources, or several execution steps—a team of experts can work together, with each contributing its own expertise to different parts of the workflow.
Our goal is to help users get the best results in the most efficient way. WorkBuddy supports both single-expert and expert-teams workflows, so feel free to give them a try and see which works best for your tasks!
Report
Congrats on the launch!!
What I find most interesting is how much control the user keeps once the workflow is already in motion. If the direction starts shifting halfway through, can the user step in, redirect it or change the expert mix without restarting everything?
@etiennegarcia Thanks a lot! Yes—users can jump in anytime. You can refine direction, adjust scope, or switch/bring in experts mid-way without restarting the workflow.
We designed it to stay flexible and collaborative throughout the process.
Would love your thoughts if you try it!

@ledo Thats good to hear, appreciate the clear answer. Being able to step in mid-way and adjust things without restarting makes this a lot more practical! Wish you a great launch 💪
@abod_rehman Both! You can search by title if you already know what you need, or browse by category like Content Creation, Research, Investment Analysis, Legal Consulting and more. And if none of them quite fit, you can create your own custom expert. It's user-driven for now, so you stay in control of which expert handles what. Smart recommendations based on your prompt and memory are on our roadmap, so it'll get even easier over time.
