During Tencent's second quarter 2026 earnings call on August 12, 2026, Pony Ma discussed the company's strategic approach to AI infrastructure and its new "workbuddy" platform. He described workbuddy as a flexible workspace for agentic AI designed to address productivity needs for office workers and small business operators, with multiple models and developer-created skills serving users through the platform. Ma noted that while Tencent could recover compute depreciation almost immediately by renting capacity to third parties, the company is instead allocating a substantial portion of new compute to building its own state-of-the-art models as part of a larger strategy. Ma also addressed risks related to AI integration into WeChat, stating that he believed such concerns would not be relevant. He argued that making the WeChat ecosystem more intelligent—helping users execute transactions, explore content, and manage daily life with AI—would make the already rich and powerful platform even more useful, drawing a parallel to the evolution from QQ in the PC era to WeChat in the mobile age.
