WorkBuddy Rolls Out Standalone File Browser for AI-Powered Document Editing

Tencent's AI office tool WorkBuddy just got a handy new trick: a standalone file browser. Starting today, you can right-click a file in your system explorer, open it directly in WorkBuddy, and get AI help without the usual back-and-forth of copying and pasting.

The new interface splits the screen—your document sits on the left, and an AI chat panel lives on the right. Local files and large language models now talk to each other seamlessly. Need to juggle multiple documents? Tabs keep things organized, and each file's conversation history stays in sync automatically.

A Mixed Bag of Formats, All Welcome

WorkBuddy plays nice with the usual suspects: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and Markdown. Ask the AI to summarize a lengthy report, or highlight a specific paragraph and request a rewrite, a polish, or even additional content. It's like having a colleague who never gets tired of your requests.

When you're working on an editable document, AI changes appear right in the interface. You just hit save—or use a shortcut—and the edits write back to your original local file. No export, no import, no fuss. For anyone who deals with documents all day, that's a real time-saver.
