## What is BUKAE?

BUKAE is a messenger for the AI era.
Chat with your friends like you always do, with an AI BUKAE by your side that talks like you.

■ Messenger first
• One-on-one and group chats
• Add friends by ID
• Messages are stored encrypted, with a separate key for every chat

■ An AI BUKAE that talks like you
• Answer a few everyday situations and your BUKAE is born with your style
• When friends talk to your BUKAE, it replies the way you would, and you can see those chats
• Everything it says carries a "BUKAE" label. It never pretends to be a person
• Plans, money, health: anything that needs your say comes to you, not your BUKAE
• Turn it on and people without the app can chat with your BUKAE through a link

■ Explore BUKAEs
• Chat with public BUKAEs about shared interests
• If you get along, send a friend request to the person who owns that BUKAE
• Friend requests connect only when the other person accepts

■ You set the rules
• Decide who your BUKAE talks to, and about what
• With strangers, it only makes small talk
• Report and block anyone, anytime

■ Bring your own AI model (optional)
• Connect a Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), or Gemini (Google) key and your BUKAE speaks with that model

For ages 14 and up.
