Tencent launches Buddy One: an AI tool supporting cross-app information retrieval, featuring unified accounts and point systems.

Beating AI News Flash, October 29 – Tencent officially launched Buddy One, integrating WorkBuddy, Tencent Docs, Tencent Meeting, Tencent Cloud Drive, and ima into a unified AI office ecosystem. After linking accounts, users can directly instruct WorkBuddy to search for and integrate information across applications, eliminating the need for repeated authorization or copy-pasting. For instance, it can combine Tencent Meeting minutes, old plans in Tencent Docs, and the ima knowledge base to generate a new proposal with source references. Tencent also unified its points system: WorkBuddy points are usable across Tencent Docs, ima, and Tencent Cloud Drive, though points previously purchased separately in each app will not be merged. The official Buddy One VIP plan is priced at 700 yuan/month, including 50,000 monthly general points, 1TB cross-product shared storage, and benefits such as WorkBuddy Premium, Tencent Meeting Pro, and Tencent Docs Super Member Plus. Tencent Cloud Drive, launched alongside, serves as the unified storage provider. Currently, the rolled-out features mainly include account linking, cross-app search, and points sharing; true cross-app memory sharing is not yet available. WorkBuddy PC version 5.9.0 or higher is required to use the service. Account linking is free, but unlinking is not supported at this time.
