WorkBuddy Configuration Guide ​

WorkBuddy is Tencent's general-purpose AI office workspace. This guide shows how to add an OmniRouters custom model to WorkBuddy and start a conversation through the OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible API.

Before you start, download WorkBuddy and prepare an OmniRouters API key and the model ID you want to use.

1. Open model settings ​

Open WorkBuddy, click the avatar or menu in the lower-left corner, and select Settings.

Step 1: Open Settings from the menu

Select Models in the Settings sidebar, then click Add model.

Step 2: Open Models and add a model

2. Enter the custom model API ​

Select the Custom provider and fill in the form as follows:

FieldValueDescription
ProviderCustomWorkBuddy uses an OpenAI-compatible API for this provider.
Endpoint URLhttps://omnirouters.com/v1/chat/completionsWorkBuddy expects the complete Chat Completions endpoint URL.
API keyYour OmniRouters API keyGet it from the OmniRouters console and keep it private.
Model nameYour OmniRouters model IDFor example, gpt-5.5, claude-sonnet-4-6, or another model enabled for your account.

Click Test connection. After the connection succeeds, click Save.

Step 3: Enter the endpoint, API key, and model name

WorkBuddy uses the complete endpoint URL https://omnirouters.com/v1/chat/completions. If your account uses a dedicated gateway URL, use the actual URL provided for that account.

3. Select the added model ​

Return to the WorkBuddy home screen and click the model selector at the bottom of the window. Select the saved model in the Custom models section.

Step 4: Select the custom model

4. Send a test message ​

Send a simple message such as Hello and wait for the response. A successful reply confirms that WorkBuddy is connected to OmniRouters.

Step 5: Send a test message

Troubleshooting ​

  • The connection test fails or returns 401: Check that the API key is correct and active, and that it was entered in the API key field.
  • The model is not found: Check the model ID, capitalization, hyphens, and version, and confirm that the model is enabled for your OmniRouters account.
  • The endpoint is invalid: Confirm that WorkBuddy uses the complete URL https://omnirouters.com/v1/chat/completions and that the path is not duplicated.
  • The model is selectable but does not reply: Test the connection again, check the network, and confirm that the selected model supports Chat Completions.
