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.
@sherina_chen Congrats to the entire team on this success. Looking forward to see how impactful the product will be as time goes on. how does your product deal with agents working cross function? in a situation where 2 different agents could possibly do different task but have 2 identical task they can both do, which of the agents will take up the task?
I hope you do understand my question?
WorkBuddy
@adebowale_adeseye Thanks! Good question, I get what you mean. It doesn't work like a dispatcher auto assigning the task to one agent behind your back. You're the one who picks which expert to bring in, and when you summon the expert team for something, they actually work together rather than compete for it, each one contributing where it's strongest and handing off to the next. So it's less "which agent grabs the task" and more "the right ones collaborate on it." You stay in the driver's seat the whole way.
@sherina_chen cool!
I like that you're showing how people can guide the AI instead of pretending it always knows the right answer. What happens if two of the AI experts recommend different approaches? Does the system try to resolve that on its own, or does the user decide which direction to take?
WorkBuddy
@chielephant Thank you — that’s exactly the idea. We don’t want WorkBuddy to pretend the AI always knows the single right answer.
When two experts recommend different approaches, the synthesis step looks at the user’s goal, context, constraints, and the reasoning behind each suggestion. If one path is clearly stronger, WorkBuddy will recommend it and explain why.
But if it’s a real tradeoff, we try to preserve that instead of hiding it. The system should show the options, explain the pros and cons, and let the user decide which direction to take. The human stays in control, and the experts help make the decision clearer.
I like the idea of bringing in another expert opinion at any point. In real work, the problem is often not generating content, but knowing whether the direction is actually the right one.
WorkBuddy
@orman_canida Exactly! That's the core idea behind our expert system.
Instead of asking users to become AI experts, we believe AI should bring the right expertise and workflow to every task, so people can focus more on their work instead of figuring out how to get the best results~
Poked around with it for a bit and the "second opinion" angle genuinely caught me off guard in a good way, it actually feels like having a teammate double-check your work instead of just another chatbot agreeing with everything you say. Results came back clean enough to drop straight into a doc.

@berkay139616 Thanks so much for giving it a try~
It's great to hear the "second opinion" experience stood out. We built our experts to contribute different perspectives and help users arrive at more professional, well-rounded results—not just generate another similar response.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Used it for a quick report draft and the multi-agent angle actually helped, gave me three different angles in like a minute instead of one generic answer. Slightly clunky UI but the results felt noticeably more useful than my usual single-prompt tools.
WorkBuddy
@kumsalk9229 Yeah, one prompt shouldn't lock you into one answer, so three angles in a minute is kind of the whole point. UI's still getting polished, but glad the results are landing more useful for you.
How does the pricing work for the AI expert team — is it a flat subscription or do you pay per agent or per task?
WorkBuddy
@nazargkbaleawm It's a flat subscription, not per agent or per task. Running the full expert team on a task doesn't cost extra on top, you're just drawing from your Credits.
Congrats team! The expert team concept feels much closer to how people actually collaborate at work.

@song_kirby Thanks so much! so glad it resonates with you.
