Interview with Tencent's Tang Daosheng: WorkBuddy and other AI intelligent bodies are still in the investment stage and do not have commercial goals set.

On the afternoon of June 5th, news came that today's Tencent Cloud AI Industry Application Conference in 2026 was held in Beijing. During the communication meeting, Tencent Group's Senior Executive Vice President and CEO of Cloud and Smart Industries Business Group, Tang Daosheng, when discussing the pricing of AI products, said, "It's not good to comment on other vendors' pricing strategies, but the industry trend is definitely hoping that token inference costs will continue to decrease. At the same time, there are some particularly difficult problems that require larger models, so of course the cost will be higher, and everyone's pricing strategy will also be different." Has Tencent set commercial goals for AI intelligent products? Tang Daosheng responded, "For AI intelligent products like WorkBuddy, we are still in the investment stage, so we haven't set commercialization goals for the team's KPI. However, we have also received a lot of interest from enterprise customers, there are many commercial models in enterprise scenarios, similar to Tencent meeting a few years ago, it has both some to c attributes and some independent attributes, we will fully leverage its independent capabilities to build a sustainable service system."
