WorkBuddy Malaysia — guides and notes
This blog keeps the working notes for Tencent WorkBuddy in Malaysia. Not announcements, and not a second copy of the product pages — the write-ups here take one question a Malaysian business actually asks, and work it through to the end. How a first week goes. What to hand the agent first. Where it does not fit yet.
WorkBuddy is Tencent's AI agent, built by the same Tencent Cloud team behind CodeBuddy. It sits on your machine, works inside folders you authorise, and returns finished files rather than chat replies. Malaysian users run the international edition, and the free plan gives 100 credits a month with no card. That is the background; the posts assume you have it.
Two guides to start with. One walks a small Malaysian office through its first week with the tool, day by day, including the parts that are slower than the marketing suggests. The other ranks the tasks worth automating first, from quotation drafts to bilingual correspondence, so you spend your opening credits on work that pays back quickly.
A WorkBuddy first week in a Malaysian SME
A day-by-day walkthrough: install and sign in on day one, connect a folder, run a first real task on day two or three, and decide at the end of the week what to keep and what to drop. It is honest about the friction — the install, the region gating, and the jobs the agent still hands back to you.
Which WorkBuddy tasks to automate first
A practical ranking of the first jobs to hand over, with a table of task types scored on why they are a good first win and how much effort they take. Quotations, supplier-quote comparisons, bilingual client threads and meeting-note clean-ups come first; pricing calls and compliance submissions stay with your team.

Where to go next
Both guides assume a signed-in account pointed at a working folder. If you have not set that up, download the international edition first, then claim the +350 free credits for new users while the account is new. For the full step-by-step, the 10-minute setup guide covers the same ground in one page, and the use-case pages take it further by role — sales, finance, HR and the rest.
