11-dimension, 60-feature comparison: WorkBuddy vs Codex vs NewMax desktop agents
yangyi · x · 2026-10-20
A detailed 11-dimension, 60-plus-feature comparison of three desktop AI agents: Tencent WorkBuddy (office ecosystem, 13 built-in Chinese models), OpenAI Codex (developer workflow, one agent across App/CLI/IDE/cloud with parallel sandboxes), and NewMax (openness and local support: 15+ model providers, gateway proxy mode, Ollama/LM Studio, multi-account subscription login). The piece covers model access, gateway proxying, image/video/voice generation, browser automation, content publishing and pricing, and closes with scenario-based recommendations for office, development and multi-model use cases.
