Flyme AIOS to Deploy WorkBuddy AI Tools Across All Flyme Platforms

LONDON, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ECARX Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ECX) ("ECARX"), a global mobility technology provider, today announced that Tencent Cloud's WorkBuddy, the AI-powered smart work assistant that transforms natural-language instructions into completed work, will be integrated with Flyme AIOS, the intelligent operating system that ECARX has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire, through the joint development of WorkBuddy AI tools across the Flyme ecosystem.

Building upon Flyme's existing Super Aicy AI assistant, WorkBuddy will bring its agentic‑AI capabilities to the full Flyme ecosystem, delivering to users a unified AI workbench spanning smartphones, AI devices and other Flyme‑powered hardware.

WorkBuddy AI tools will roll out across the full Flyme ecosystem, including Flyme Auto for in‑vehicle deployments. Users will be able to articulate tasks through natural‑language prompts, such as drafting documents, creating reports, organising data, and automating workflows. WorkBuddy's cloud backend processes each request and returns validated results and complete deliverables directly within the conversation thread. The experience remains consistent across every Flyme‑powered device: users simply describe what they need done, and WorkBuddy handles the rest.

More than a standard chatbot, WorkBuddy is an agentic AI workbench capable of interpreting user objectives, orchestrating multi‑step workflows, calling purpose‑built tools and skills, and generating verifiable, ready‑to‑deploy outputs such as documents, reports, presentations and code. Offering both local on‑device processing and always‑on secure cloud sandbox execution with CRS‑device sync, WorkBuddy serves 12 industries with 140+ AI advisors and 22,000+ skills and plugins.

Flyme AIOS, the subject of a recently announced definitive acquisition agreement by ECARX Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ECX), will become part of ECARX's full‑stack, end‑to‑end software infrastructure. This portfolio covers multi‑screen cabin interaction, seamless mobile‑IoT‑vehicle connectivity, core middleware, UI/UX frameworks, and comprehensive application‑development toolkits. Anchored by the Super Aicy AI assistant, Flyme powers smartphones, AI devices and a broad range of connected‑device experiences. For more information, visit ECARX Website.
