Tencent Announces Buddy One Cross-Application AI Collaboration System
Tencent has announced Buddy One, a cross-application AI collaboration system for individual users that connects multiple office products including Tencent Docs, Meeting, Drive, and ima. The system shares the WorkBuddy Agent foundation while unifying user accounts, credit pools, and providing a Buddy One VIP subscription. This integration eliminates the friction of switching between multiple standalone productivity tools by allowing users to query, retrieve, and synthesize information across apps seamlessly without manual copying. It represents a significant step toward unified AI agent ecosystems in workplace software. Buddy One features a unified search engine that marks the source of retrieved data across connected applications and automatically synchronizes credit consumption. A VIP membership tier priced at 700 RMB per month includes the WorkBuddy flagship version, Tencent Meeting professional version, Tencent Docs Super Member Plus, and 1TB of shared storage.
