The news | Continue working in the canvas after generation

On November 3, 2026, Tencent WorkBuddy announced version 5.11.0, marked as still in a phased rollout. WorkBuddy is an AI tool for office and creative tasks through conversation. This creative design update adds image editing; image and video outputs open in a canvas and are saved to the library by default. It also changes the home page, removing the previous office, development, and design entries. Official release notes

Why it helps | Keep the conversation focused on the same artifact

Suppose you are creating a book club poster. The first version is broadly right, but the background draws too much attention. The next step is to request a change to the existing output and check that the event name and time survive. Opening the canvas after generation keeps the discussion tied to a visible result; saving to the library gives you somewhere to find it later.

Creative design already integrates the Ardot canvas for conversational changes to design drafts. The relevant capability requires Ardot authorization on first use. Image editing does not mean videos support the same local edits: the release notes confirm that video outputs open in the canvas and enter the library. Canvas and conversational editing

How to use it | Check one change, then confirm the artifact

  1. Check the version and rollout status. Sign in to WorkBuddy and confirm that your client has received the relevant 5.11.0 capabilities. If the feature is not visible during the phased rollout, wait for it to reach your account.
  2. Start a creative task from the current home page. Use the entry provided in the new version. Describe the poster’s purpose, required text, and dimensions; authorize Ardot when prompted for its design capabilities.
  3. Continue revising the artifact in the canvas. For example, ask for a lighter background while retaining the event name and time, then check the change and text. For design drafts, you can also select an area and describe the change.
  4. Confirm storage and retrieval. Check that the image or video artifact is in the library and reopen it. Before handing it over, verify the text, visual result, and dimensions. Scope of this release
