Your life,
handled.
Buddy is a personal agent that lives in WhatsApp and Telegram. It keeps your inbox, calendar, commitments, research, and recurring work moving — then turns workflows that outgrow chat into automations and private Buddy Apps.
It remembers the context that matters, works in the background, and shows you what it did, what needs approval, and what is still waiting.
Handled, waiting, and one thing for you.

An illustrative view of a day with Buddy.
One continuous loop, always running.
Observe. Bounded signals from the surfaces you connected.
Buddy closes the loop.
A loose end becomes visible.
Buddy watches your inbox and commitments for the things that quietly rot: unreplied threads, promises past due, people you're waiting on. It surfaces them before they become urgent.
Buddy checks the surrounding context.
It reads the calendar, the last few messages with the person, and what permissions apply. Then it prepares the actual work: a draft, a proposed slot, a queued research task — held, not sent.
Nothing sent yet.
You approve the consequential part.
You approve the send. Buddy tracks it as durable state — drafted, approved, sent, waiting — and follows up on its own timeline until it resolves.
- Drafted
- Approved
- Sent
- Waiting for reply
It remembers, handles, builds, and follows through.
- 01
An inbox and calendar that move
Buddy surfaces replies that matter, prepares drafts, finds workable times, and keeps coordination moving. Sending and consequential calendar changes remain permissioned.
- 02
Proactive when there is evidence
Buddy scores real signals — deadlines, stalled replies, calendar context, repeated friction — and stays quiet when nothing is worth interrupting you for.
- 03
Useful authority with hard boundaries
Context, tools, confirmations, and durable writes are filtered by session, role, and policy before the model can act.
- 01
Commitments that do not disappear into chat
Promises, deadlines, waiting-on items, and follow-ups become durable records Buddy can review, brief, and revisit.
- 02
Memory with sources and controls
Buddy retains useful context across conversations, recalls where it came from, and gives you visible controls to correct or forget it.
- 03
Research that returns as finished work
Multi-source research, browser work, computation, and file creation can run in the background while the conversation stays responsive.
- 01
Recurring work becomes an automation
Once a workflow is understood, Buddy can turn it into a visible, pausable routine instead of rediscovering the same steps on every run.
- 02
Workflows that outgrow chat become Buddy Apps
Buddy can publish a private working interface with persistent state, a secure link, and a path back to the assistant. Richer purpose-built apps are in active development.
- 03
Heavy work does not block the conversation
Durable workers track long-running tasks, recover bounded failures, and bring results back into chat or Buddy HQ.
Buddy can build the tool the workflow needs.
Structure the actual entities and next actions.
A trip you've been planning in chat becomes a workspace with the flights, dates, and open decisions laid out — not another wall of messages to re-read.
Make recurring capture, review, or coordination faster than chat.
A job search you keep tracking by memory becomes a pipeline: stages, follow-ups, and the next move, without re-explaining where things stand.
Improve the same app without losing its data.
A household project hub gets a new field or a different view when you ask — the records that are already in it carry forward instead of starting over.
An Idea Studio that expands and audits the concept before build, richer dashboards and data views, contextual Buddy actions inside the workflow, and safe app evolution through conversation.
One request. Five forms.
“Plan a Tokyo trip for next month.”
Dates and budget saved as a tracked plan.
Flight and hotel research runs across multiple sources.
A private trip workspace — options, scores, and notes.
Summary in chat; full detail live in Buddy HQ.
Conversation in. Durable work out.
- Emails that need replies, threads that went quiet, and things you promised people
- Receipts, files, links, voice notes, and plans mentioned once in passing
- Calendar details, the people you're meeting, and what you last discussed with them
- Durable context
- Commitments and waiting-on
- Permission and confirmation state
- Active jobs and automations
- App and artifact state
- A reply ready for approval
- A meeting coordinated
- A sourced brief completed
- A recurring workflow running
- A private Buddy App ready to use
- A clear receipt of what changed
One hub. Four surfaces.
Context, policy, jobs, artifacts, and evidence.
- WhatsApp / Telegram
Delegation and timely delivery — where you talk to Buddy.
- Buddy HQ
Visibility, approvals, memory, active work, and control.
- Buddy Apps
Purpose-built working interfaces for structured work.
- Connected services
Inbox, calendar, Workspace, browser, and files.
Just tell Buddy what you need.
What's on my plate this week?
Buddy answers from a real ledger: commitments due, who you're waiting on, meetings with prep notes, and the emails that still need replies — not a vague summary.
Set up coffee with Daniel next week
Buddy checks your calendar, proposes two or three slots to Daniel by email, handles the back-and-forth, and books the one that works. You approve before anything sends.
Watch this listing and tell me if it drops below $450
Buddy builds a small routine, tests it quietly, and runs it on schedule. You hear nothing until the price actually drops — then you get one message.
Chase Sam for that invoice — politely
Buddy drafts a courteous follow-up from your address for your approval, tracks the thread, and keeps nudging at sensible intervals until it's resolved.
Set it up once. Then just talk.
- 01
Connect what Buddy may use
Start in WhatsApp or Telegram. Add calendar, inbox, and Workspace access only where useful. Permissions remain visible and changeable.
- 02
Delegate in normal language
Quick work is handled in the conversation. Bigger work becomes a tracked background job, automation, artifact, or Buddy App.
- 03
Review what compounds
Memory, commitments, workflows, and tools become more useful over time. Buddy HQ shows what is active, what changed, what needs approval, and what can be undone.
Privacy that is built in, not bolted on.
Most AI products put a padlock icon on their marketing page and call it privacy. Buddy is designed differently from the ground up.
Read the privacy policy →- 01
Private means private.
What you tell Buddy in a private chat stays there. Even co-owners cannot ask Buddy to reveal someone else's private conversation.
- 02
The AI cannot leak what it never loaded.
Session-specific context entitlements keep private memory, shared memory, and group-safe memory separate before the model even replies.
- 03
You can see — and delete — what Buddy knows.
Your dashboard shows the memory Buddy holds about you, item by item, with a forget button on each one. No black box, no guessing what it picked up.
- 04
Tools and roles are filtered in code.
Different people get different context and capabilities. Restricted or member sessions do not even receive the same files or tools as the owner.
- 05
Outbound action stays owner-governed.
Nothing sends without your approval. Email drafts, scheduling messages, and chases all go through you first — and outbound permissions are gated by plan, role, and explicit policy.
- 06
Our own tools can't read your messages.
The operations dashboard we use to run Buddy shows counts, costs, and statuses — never message content. Logs are scrubbed of personal details by design.

Common questions.
Yes. During early access, Buddy is completely free. No credit card, no trial clock. You’re helping us shape the product, and in return you get full access at no cost. When we launch publicly, early access users will get a significant discount on paid plans.
General AI chat is excellent for answers and one-off tasks. Buddy is designed around continuity and follow-through: it maintains durable memory and commitments, runs tracked background work, turns recurring workflows into automations, creates private Buddy Apps, and shows you what happened and what still needs approval.
For Solo, you can use your existing personal WhatsApp — you scan a QR code and Buddy connects to your chat. If you’d prefer to keep things separate, a spare number works too. For Household, you’ll need a cheap eSIM ($2–5/mo from any carrier) so Buddy gets its own dedicated number. We handle all the setup.
Self-chat mode links Buddy to your existing WhatsApp account, so talking to Buddy feels like texting yourself. Second-number mode gives Buddy a separate line while still remaining a Solo plan. The features are the same, but the second-number setup keeps Buddy separate from your personal WhatsApp identity and makes it easier to use Buddy in groups or keep the experience compartmentalized.
Privacy. On Solo, Buddy runs through your personal WhatsApp, which means messages are visible on your phone. That’s fine for just you. But if your family members start privately chatting with Buddy, you’d be able to see their messages. With a dedicated number on Household, nobody has access to the phone — so everyone’s private conversations stay genuinely private.
Never. On Household, every person’s conversations with Buddy are completely separate. Even if your partner has full access, they can’t ask Buddy what you said privately — and you can’t see theirs either. This isn’t just a setting you toggle. It’s how Buddy is built from the ground up.
