Tencent CodeBuddy
Tencent CodeBuddy is Tencent Cloud's coding assistant. codebuddy.ai is a thin English shell that redirects toward the same product family.
Compare Cursor if you wanted Anysphere's priced IDE, Qoder if you wanted Alibaba's IDE seats, and Claude Code if you wanted an Anthropic CLI instead of a Tencent assistant.
Key Features
- Official definition is modest: The Chinese site says Hunyuan-based assistance, not a 90% productivity audit.
- Confirm the signed-in console.
- codebuddy.ai is not a second product: Treat
.aiand.cnas one family. WorkBuddy /.workbuddybranding on the English shell is a domain switch, not a new SKU we verified. - MCP / Craft leftovers: Older copy claimed first-in-China MCP and Craft mode. Confirm the installed IDE; do not keep those as unverified firsts.
Use Cases
- People already in Tencent Cloud who want the Hunyuan coding helper.
- People comparing CodeBuddy vs Cursor after they drop the 90%/35% slide.
- People who need a public price and will look at Cursor or Qoder instead.
Limitation: We did not open a logged-in Tencent billing drawer, so there is no invented Free/Pro yuan table on this page.
Pricing
codebuddy.cn and codebuddy.ai on 2026-08-17.
| Piece | Price | Notes from those pages |
|---|---|---|
| CodeBuddy | No public dollar/yuan row | Official text is Hunyuan-based assistance. |
| In-console plans | Confirm after login | Static HTML did not print a matrix. |
If a leftover blog still says 90% faster and 35% fewer bugs, treat this page as the source.
Getting Started
- Open codebuddy.cn (or the
.aishell) and sign in. - Confirm the live model picker; do not assume DeepSeek R1 is still bundled.
- Confirm Cursor if you needed a public $20 / $40 table.
- Do not paste 90%/35% into a deck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it still "China's Cursor"?
That is leftover marketing. Official copy is a Hunyuan coding helper.
Are the 90% and 35% numbers first-party?
They are out.
What does it cost?
We did not find a public seat table. Confirm the console.
Alternatives
- Cursor: Anysphere IDE with Individual $20 / Pro $40.
- Qoder: Alibaba IDE seats.
- Claude Code: Anthropic CLI.
Tips
- Quote Hunyuan-based assistance, not 90%/35%.
- Confirm the signed-in plan page before you sell Free forever.
Conclusion
CodeBuddy is Tencent's Hunyuan coding helper, not a 90%/35% Cursor clone with a public dollar table. Start at codebuddy.cn, then decide whether Cursor already covers the priced IDE you need.
