Tencent's "Crayfish" WorkBuddy Test - Integrating with WeChat Remote Task Assignment, Earning 5000 Credits for Free

Last weekend, I met a friend at a coffee shop. My friend was glued to his laptop, frantically fixing bugs, and didn't even bother to drink his coffee when it got cold.

At that moment, I wondered, are we, this generation, really going to be locked in our seats by computers when we work?

Until recently, I had the opportunity to experience firsthand the amazing new feature released by Tencent's CodeBuddy team—WorkBuddy Claw (Tencent's version of crayfish). You can issue commands anytime, anywhere via your mobile phone...AI So I got the job done.

This article will share my real experience using it over the past two days, and how I "got" Credits and cloud servers for free.

Previously, when using AI programming tools, the typical workflow was: turn on the computer -> open the IDE -> input the requirements -> wait. AI Reply. If you're out and about or lying in bed and inspiration strikes? Sorry, I'll wait until I turn on my computer.

But WorkBuddy's logic has changed.

WorkBuddy is integrated into WeChat Work, WeChat Customer Service, Lark, DingTalk, and even QQ. We can assign tasks to it directly on our phones through our bot contacts.

After clicking on [Configure], you can bind your account by scanning the WeChat QR code, which is much more convenient than binding to channels like Lark.

After you've successfully linked your account, WorkBuddy will send you a greeting message in your customer service chat.

You can see WorkBuddy by clicking on [Customer Service Messages].

Recently, major companies have been launching their own lobster products, with new lobsters appearing almost daily. Understanding all of them would be time-consuming and energy-draining, so we can delegate that to WorkBuddy:

I sent a WeChat message on my phone, and WorkBuddy on my computer started doing the work for me.

The task was completed in just 2 minutes, and the results were excellent. Creating such a chart by myself would have taken at least several tens of minutes.

This leads to the core experience of WorkBuddy:Local + Cloud Dual-Mode Operation.

We can think of WorkBuddy as a remote employee who doesn't need sleep, doesn't need a salary, and is online 24/7. Even when we shut down our computers, it continues running in the cloud; even when we're off work, it's still fixing bugs for us. This truly embodies the idea that one "shrimp" can do the work of an entire team.

WorkBuddy also includes most mainstream domestic apps.Large ModelYou can select it directly, and you no longer need to go through the trouble of configuring the API Key.

Scenario 1: Create a "red envelope grabbing" tool for the operations team.

Our operations team wanted to organize an event and needed a random lottery H5 page. I sent the instructions directly on WeChat: "Make a random lottery H5 page with a festive interface, where clicking a button will show the lottery results."

After WorkBuddy painstakingly generated the page, it even provided "One-clickI clicked the "Deploy" button on my phone, and a lottery H5 page appeared. I could also share it with my friends directly via the link.

(A side note here: Tencent Cloud currently provides...)freeResources, including lightweight servers and cloud development resources, are all free, meaning there's essentially zero cost from writing code to deployment. This is definitely a great deal to take advantage of.

Scenario 2: Vibe Coding its own App

Have you ever had this experience?

An idea suddenly popped into my head, and I wanted to quickly create a demo to test it. But as soon as I opened the editor, I was plunged into an endless cycle of "building the framework, writing the interface, adjusting the style, configuring the environment..." By the end of the whole process, all my enthusiasm had vanished.

I picked up my phone and said to WorkBuddy:

"Use Python + FastAPI + SQLite to create a personal accounting app for me. It should include login, transaction records, monthly reports and charts. Finally, deploy it directly to my VPS and provide an accessible link."

And then, WorkBuddy actually pulled it off for me.

I can build the project structure, write the code, run migrations, do tests, build Docker images, deploy them to the server, and even Git will commit them for me.

A community member tested it and built a small tool from scratch in one night. Not only was the code written and deployed, but even the multilingual update logs on the App Store were included.automaticOnce you've filled it out, just submit it for review.

Scenario 3: File Management and Maintenance

File management is an essential function for many working professionals. This is especially true for those who create video content, as they often have a large and disorganized collection of images, videos, and other materials, making it difficult to find the right resources.

This is what I told WorkBuddy:

I need you to help me organize the pictures and videos on this computer:

1. First, please scan all the pictures and videos on this computer.

2. Please organize the content into a three-level directory: location-time-content.

3. The location should be written according to the picture description, accurate to the city/district-county-township level.

4. The content needs to be recognized using advanced visual models, and then summarized in 2-6 words.

5. The naming format for images and videos is also location-time-content.

One of the most thoughtful features of WorkBuddy is that you can see the progress clearly..

This isn't available on OpenClaw. Sometimes, a task is sent out and there's no response for half a day, and you don't know where the progress is, which is quite frustrating. You have to check the logs yourself.

WorkBuddy processed 1095 files in 3 minutes! This processing speed is more than 100 times faster than me processing them manually.

Let's take a look at the results. All the files are clearly categorized by location and time, but WorkBuddy did not recognize the image content.

I know that after seeing this new product, your first reaction might be: "It looks great, but will it be very expensive?" or "Is it only programmers who can use it?"

This is indeed a window of opportunity, and there are a few tangible benefits worth taking 3 minutes to look at:

1. New and existing users will receive 5,000 Credits directly (valid until March 31).

As long as you're a user of the domestic version, you'll receive 5000 points directly upon entering the event page. These 5000 points are enough to run several small projects like I just did.

2.freeCloud resources, development to deployment in one stop (deadline March 31)

This may be what distinguishes WorkBuddy from others. AI The biggest drawback of programming tools is that other companies only write the code for you; you still have to buy the server yourself.

Because CodeBuddy is backed by Tencent Cloud, it directly provides lightweight cloud servers and cloud development resources.This is perfect for beginners who want to tinker with small projects but don't want to spend money on domain names and servers.

3. Million Credits Bounty: Earn it by posting content (ends April 10th)

Here's the important part! If you think this is fun, or want to try something more challenging, WorkBuddy is running a "million credits bounty" event.

Simply post videos or articles on social media with the hashtag #WorkBuddyClaw实战 to earn rewards. The maximum reward is 48,000 Credits, equivalent to roughly two years' subscription value.

If you are already researching AI This tool is actually a double opportunity to get something for free—bothfreeAfter experiencing the new tools, you can also earn future usage credits by producing content.

WorkBuddy is certainly not perfect yet.

For example, when operating on a mobile device, if the task logic is particularly complex (such as involving the simultaneous modification of dozens of files), its response speed will be slower than on a computer, since it runs in the cloud. Additionally, although it's advertised as universally applicable, if you need to debug very deep code bugs, you'll still need some basic knowledge to read the logs it provides.

However, its merits outweigh its flaws. WorkBuddy Claw's approach of de-emphasizing devices really resonates with people like me who don't want to be tied down to a computer.

We used to always say "wait" AI "The era has arrived," now it feels like "AIThe era is already in our mobile phones.

If you're a developer, you can try having it help you write documentation and fix bugs; if you're a product/operations manager, you can try having it directly generate prototypes and create landing pages for you.

After finishing this article, I sent the link to the friend who was fixing bugs in the coffee shop. He replied, "Does this mean we can fix bugs while lying on the beach from now on?"

I said, "It's not about fixing bugs, it's about 'directing others' to fix bugs."

This might be what WorkBuddy Claw wants to do: let AI Become your team, and you only need to focus on thinking.
