Recently plumbed the 7 stage RODI to the ATO and started going through Anion resin quickly. Can I run the Smart Buddie and Tunze 8555 to stem the problem? Not sure if they will work together

I don’t recall why, but making multiple small batches of RO/DI burns through resin considerably faster than making fewer big batches.

You’ll need a bigger reservoir, or if you can, adjust so that it doesn’t fill your ATO until it’s nearly empty.

TDS creep, I know the system works more efficiently if it runs longer
That’s obviously something different. You didn’t mention TDS creep in your first post.

Can’t help you there though. I didn’t notice TDS change in any way when I added a Smart Buddie.

Yes
They are two different things.
