WorkBuddy Configuration Guide
After configuration, you can directly operate CloudBase services through WorkBuddy's AI conversations.
For example:
- "Create a user table" — AI automatically creates a database collection
- "Deploy this function" — AI automatically uploads and configures cloud functions
- "Deploy frontend to CDN" — AI automatically uploads files and configures hosting
No need to switch to the cloud console — all operations can be done in WorkBuddy using natural language.
