Developer tests Tencent WorkBuddy on an 18-step storyboard-to-MP4 workflow

On November 7, 2026 at 23:50, a developer writing under the handle Xiaohu published a first-hand test on the Chinese developer platform Juejin, documenting his experience running Tencent's WorkBuddy through a full video-production pipeline. The workflow spans 18 steps, starting from a shot-by-shot script and ending with a finished MP4 file exported to disk. Rather than producing a text outline and stopping there, WorkBuddy directly reads and writes files on the local machine, installs the required environment itself, and calls the necessary tools along the way. Xiaohu's write-up is structured as a step-by-step walkthrough, recording for each step what inputs went in and what output came out. In the article the developer notes that producing a promotional video previously combined two different tools: AI handled the scripting stage, but visuals, voiceover, and editing still meant hopping between separate software packages and handling each part manually. This single test demonstrates an end-to-end automation attempt, with the agent managing the full pipeline on its own. No follow-up reports have appeared since the article was posted, and Tencent has not publicly responded to the test. As of now, the 18-step workflow remains a solo developer's account rather than an officially verified capability.
