## Summary

Tencent's WorkBuddy agent platform launched a remote control feature that lets users view their logged-in computer's desktop in real time from the mobile app and take over when needed. Users need mobile app version 2.7.0 or later and macOS client version 5.9.3 or later, and each computer allows one authenticated mobile device at a time. Tencent says screen data and control commands are encrypted, remote sessions are not recorded, and remote traffic does not consume the AI agent token quota.
