One assistant. Ongoing context. Real follow-through.

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.

An illustrative view of a day with Buddy.

A complete personal-agent system. Ready to work.

One continuous loop, always running.

Buddy doesn't wait to be asked. It watches, remembers, plans, acts, and proves what it did — in that order, every time.
MessagesInboxCalendarFilesTime

Observe. Bounded signals from the surfaces you connected.

RepliesClosed loopsAutomationsBuddy AppsReceipts
FROM REQUEST TO HANDLED

Buddy closes the loop.

Every AI can answer a question. Almost none will chase the invoice, book the coffee, watch the price, or brief you before the meeting — unprompted. The hard part isn't intelligence. It's follow-through: knowing what should stay private, what deserves your attention right now, and what should simply be handled without you asking twice.
01
Notice

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.

Invoice · Sam
No reply · 6 days
Needs follow-up
02
Coordinate

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.

You approve the send. Buddy tracks it as durable state — drafted, approved, sent, waiting — and follows up on its own timeline until it resolves.

ONE ASSISTANT, FOUR DURABLE SYSTEMS

It remembers, handles, builds, and follows through.

Buddy turns conversations into durable state, finished work, recurring workflows, and private software — while keeping approval and privacy boundaries visible.
Handle
  • 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.

Remember
  • 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.

Build and run
  • 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.

WHEN CHAT IS NOT THE RIGHT INTERFACE

Buddy can build the tool the workflow needs.

Ask for a tracker, checklist, comparison, poll, or working note and Buddy can publish a private, stateful app behind a secure link. Every release is verified before it goes live, and the app can hand the work back to Buddy when conversation is useful again.
01
From conversation to workspace

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.

02
From repeated work to interface

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.

03
From static tool to living system

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.

In development

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.

HOW WORK CHANGES FORM

One request. Five forms.

The same request becomes durable state, background work, a finished artifact, and a receipt — without you managing any of the handoffs.
1Chat request

“Plan a Tokyo trip for next month.”

2Durable commitment

Dates and budget saved as a tracked plan.

3Background worker

Flight and hotel research runs across multiple sources.

4Finished artifact

A private trip workspace — options, scores, and notes.

5Receipt

Summary in chat; full detail live in Buddy HQ.

Where Buddy fits

Conversation in. Durable work out.

Messages, files, inbox threads, calendar changes, and passing requests become memory, commitments, jobs, automations, dashboards, and Buddy Apps that remain useful after the conversation moves on.
What comes in
  • 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
What Buddy keeps straight
  • Durable context
  • Commitments and waiting-on
  • Permission and confirmation state
  • Active jobs and automations
  • App and artifact state
What comes back
  • 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
WHERE BUDDY LIVES

One hub. Four surfaces.

The hub isn't a model — it's the Buddy runtime: context, policy, jobs, artifacts, and evidence. Models are replaceable reasoning providers underneath it.
Buddy runtime

Context, policy, jobs, artifacts, and evidence.

  1. WhatsApp / Telegram

    Delegation and timely delivery — where you talk to Buddy.

  2. Buddy HQ

    Visibility, approvals, memory, active work, and control.

  3. Buddy Apps

    Purpose-built working interfaces for structured work.

  4. Connected services

    Inbox, calendar, Workspace, browser, and files.

See it in action

Just tell Buddy what you need.

You

What's on my plate this week?

Buddy

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.

You

Set up coffee with Daniel next week

Buddy

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.

You

Watch this listing and tell me if it drops below $450

Buddy

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.

You

Chase Sam for that invoice — politely

Buddy

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.

SETUP

Set it up once. Then just talk.

No new app to learn. No complicated workflow. Buddy lives in the messaging apps you already use.
  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Delegate in normal language

    Quick work is handled in the conversation. Bigger work becomes a tracked background job, automation, artifact, or Buddy App.

  3. 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

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 →
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
