常见问题

What's the difference between this guide and the WorkBuddy overview article?

This is the hands-on companion to the feature overview. The overview article (July 5) covers what WorkBuddy is and why it stands out. This guide focuses on how to use it — every section includes concrete prompt examples you can copy and paste. If you've already read the overview and want to start using WorkBuddy today, start here. The two articles are designed to be read together: overview → practical guide → your first automated task.

Can I use WorkBuddy without connecting it to WeChat or QQ?

Yes, but you'll miss out on mobile control and ecosystem integration. The core desktop features (document generation, data analysis, PPT creation, code assistance) work without WeChat/QQ binding. Mobile control — sending tasks from your phone and receiving results — requires WeChat, QQ, Feishu, or DingTalk binding. Tencent Docs and Tencent Meeting integration also require ecosystem login. For pure desktop productivity, a standalone login works fine.

How do I write effective prompts for WorkBuddy?

WorkBuddy responds best to structured, specific prompts with clear output requirements. The examples in this guide follow a proven pattern: (1) State the action verb ("Generate", "Analyze", "Create"), (2) Specify the output format ("a 10-slide PPT", "a meeting minute"), (3) List the required sections or elements. Avoid vague prompts like "help me with sales data" — instead say "Analyze the sales data in this Excel file. Identify top-performing products, regional sales trends, and growth opportunities." The more specific your output requirements, the less manual editing you'll need.

Which Expert Team should I use for a cross-functional project?

You can use multiple Expert Teams sequentially. For example, for a product launch: (1) Start with the Content Creation Team to develop the brand strategy and messaging, (2) hand the output to the Design Team for visual assets, (3) use the Development Team if you need a landing page. WorkBuddy doesn't currently support chaining teams automatically, so you'll need to pass outputs between them manually. For smaller projects, the Content Creation Team alone often covers 80% of what you need — it already includes creative director, copywriter, and designer roles.
