Tencent CodeBuddy
Tencent CodeBuddy is Tencent Cloud's coding assistant. Rechecked 2026-08-17: codebuddy.cn describes it as a helper based on the Hunyuan code model, with tech chat, completion, diagnosis, and optimization. codebuddy.ai is a thin English shell that redirects toward the same product family. We found no public dollar table on the pages we opened. Drop leftover 90% efficiency / 35% fewer errors / 90%+ completion accuracy, China's Cursor, and a frozen DeepSeek R1/V3 + Hunyuan-Turbo S catalog.
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.
- No public seat on the HTML we opened:
/pricingon the Chinese host returned a title about free/price, but no Starter/Pro dollar or yuan matrix in the static HTML. Recheck 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. Recheck the installed IDE; do not keep those as unaudited 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 | Recheck 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. - Recheck the live model picker; do not assume DeepSeek R1 is still bundled.
- Recheck 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?
Not on the pages we opened. They are out.
What does it cost?
We did not find a public seat table. Recheck 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%.
- Do not invent a yuan SKU.
- Recheck 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.

Seven AI Coding CLIs, Six Months: No Matter How Strong the Model, Work Needs Supervision
Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, omp and DeepSeek Harness all have personalities. After six months of deep use I run a division of labor: pi for the fastest cheapest reviews, omp for complex PRs, DeepSeek Harness on V4 Flash for high-frequency low-cost review, and Claude Code, Qoder and Cursor for writing. No matter how strong the model, work needs supervision — ideally from an independent third party.
