On September 2, Tencent's WorkBuddy open platform was officially launched, spanning more than 20 sectors including healthcare and finance, with its initial release offering five ecosystem capabilities: Buddy applications, experts, Skills, connectors, and hardware. YIDU TECH (02158) saw its clinical evidence-based intelligent agent, "Yidu ZhiXun," become one of the first Skills to be integrated into WorkBuddy's medical AI workstation.

This move deepens the multi-dimensional strategic collaboration previously established between YIDU TECH and TENCENT. By leveraging WorkBuddy as a universal AI entry point, Yidu ZhiXun's professional medical evidence capabilities can now reach physicians and specialized users in a more lightweight Skill format, opening new pathways for evidence-based functions to operate within a broader array of AI task scenarios. The transition from standalone products to specialized Skills is fundamentally transforming human-AI interaction. Previously, users had to actively navigate individual applications to locate specific functions; in the Agent era, tasks can now be decomposed, with different Skills being invoked on demand based on actual requirements.

For an industry like healthcare, which demands high professional standards and clear lines of accountability, there is a critical need for specialized, validated vertical capabilities. The Yidu ZhiXun Skill's integration into WorkBuddy's medical AI workstation delivers precisely this: professional medical evidence support. Yidu ZhiXun is an evidence-based intelligent agent platform built by YIDU TECH on years of accumulated medical data governance and AI expertise. Addressing physicians' clinical diagnosis and research needs, it integrates core technologies such as large model semantic understanding, medical knowledge graphs, and evidence-based RAG. By curating extensive clinical guidelines, high-quality medical literature, and pharmaceutical knowledge bases, the platform establishes a comprehensive "problem understanding - evidence retrieval - reasoning generation - result traceability" intelligent decision-support system. It also adopts international evidence grading frameworks like GRADE to classify evidence, ensuring that "every statement is traceable and conclusions are verifiable," effectively resolving the practical challenges doctors face with "difficulty finding evidence, slow literature review, and high costs associated with cross-language searches."

By deploying as a lightweight Skill plugin on the WorkBuddy medical AI workstation, Yidu ZhiXun now allows healthcare professionals to bypass complex local deployments. They can quickly activate the service directly on the WorkBuddy platform to complete tasks such as medical evidence queries, guideline interpretation, assisted diagnosis, and risk assessment — transforming clinical-grade evidence capabilities into an easily accessible office intelligence tool.

The significance of Yidu ZhiXun Skill being among the first batch to join Tencent's WorkBuddy medical AI workstation extends beyond merely adding a distribution channel. It involves further standardizing and modularizing the long-accumulated evidence capabilities, making them callable by various platforms, Agents, and workflows on demand. This year, the company has consistently driven the modularization and standardization of its medical intelligent agent capabilities. Its AI middleware now supports two new standards — the MCP model context protocol and the modular Skill competency paradigm — while enabling the combination of medical knowledge, large model capabilities, and professional tools to rapidly construct specialized medical agents for different departments and scenarios. To date, YIDU TECH has collaborated with medical institutions and experts to develop over 280 specialized intelligent agents covering scenarios such as medical record generation, assisted diagnosis, risk assessment, and patient education.

Within hospitals, Yidu ZhiXun integrates with clinical applications like the intelligent clinical assistant Copilot, embedding into physician workstations and clinical workflows. Outside the hospital, it directly serves physicians via products like apps and mini-programs. Now, with its inclusion in WorkBuddy's medical AI workstation, its professional capabilities have further extended into the open agent ecosystem. What has changed is the manner in which professional capabilities are invoked and distributed — from products, to platforms, to Skills. Medical AI is gradually shifting from "users actively seeking specific applications" towards "Agents calling upon appropriate professional skills based on tasks." What remains constant is the high bar for professionalism, trustworthiness, and verifiability in medical scenarios.

The future of medical AI may not hinge on a single "super portal," but rather on a vast array of professionally developed and real-world validated medical Skills working flexibly across different Agents, endpoints, and workflows. For YIDU TECH, this integration represents another exploration of how to open its capabilities — converting its long-standing medical knowledge, evidence-based expertise, and scenario experience into standardized, reusable capability modules, thereby enabling trusted medical intelligence to reach more entry points and serve more professional contexts. As specialized medical capabilities are safely and precisely deployed, medical AI is set to advance from merely "providing answers" to a new phase of "supporting the completion of professional tasks."
