Facts with sources
- At the time of the review there was no public price or architecture; international plans appeared later: Free with 500 credits a month, Pro $19.90, Team $40 per seat, Hy3 free until 30 September 2026. Source
- The international version officially supports Hong Kong, Macau, the USA, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines; Russia is not on the list, and the vendor does not describe the data perimeter. Source
Strengths
- Desktop app for Windows and macOS plus iOS and a browser version; reviewers ran it with no setup.
- Summarised a 175-page Nvidia annual report PDF, then turned it into an 8-slide deck with the report's figures in one conversation.
- Model is picked per conversation: Hy3 (free until 2026-09-30), Kimi, DeepSeek, GPT, Claude or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Free plan gives 500 credits a month, Pro is $19.90; scheduled automations and control via Telegram are built in.
Weaknesses
- Officially supported only in Hong Kong, Macau, USA, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines; other countries are not addressed.
- The built-in read tool cannot open PDFs: the agent had to install a library itself to pull text out of the report.
- A YouTube content plan came back in a language other than English; the reviewer had to ask for a translation (24 s more).
- The agent rejected its own first slide draft as ugly and redid it: the trends report took 3 minutes, the deck another 4.
Example from practice
Nvidia annual report into a deck
The reviewer attached Nvidia's fiscal 2026 annual report PDF (175 pages) from his Downloads folder and asked for a summary. The built-in read tool could not extract PDF text, so the agent installed tooling on its own and returned a summary with financial highlights, segment performance and the Groq acquisition. Asked to 'create a small ppt deck to present these findings', it invoked the Tencent-pptx skill and produced an 8-slide Nvidia-branded deck saved to a folder; the video gives no timing. The reviewer called it a good starter deck that still needs manual edits.

Reviewer opinions on their own tasks and hardware, not measurements. Links go to the videos; transcripts live in docs/raw-data.
- WorkBuddy: Tencent's AI Agent That Does EVERYTHING · AI Anytime, Aug 14The reviewer prefers WorkBuddy to Manus and similar agents for its easy install, uncluttered UI and free start; he did not check the accuracy of the outputs.
- WorkBuddy AI Agent: Best AI Productivity Tool & Agentic AI Demo 2026 · Neural Net, Aug 14In the author's view the value is task completion into files rather than the model: a trends report in 3 minutes, a 5-slide deck in 4, a video plan in 26 seconds.
