WorkBuddy Configuration Guide
After configuration, you can directly operate CloudBase services through WorkBuddy's AI conversations.
Examples:
- "Build a WeChat Mini Program ordering system with CloudBase" — AI scaffolds pages, creates the cloud database, writes cloud functions, and guides preview
- "Build a reservation management system that lets users place orders and admins update status" — AI models it with CloudBase PostgreSQL, configures permissions, and wires up frontend and backend
- "Add phone-number login to a Web app" — AI enables the auth method and integrates the CloudBase SDK
No need to switch to the cloud console — all operations can be done in WorkBuddy using natural language.
