A new way to use AI, visually. Buddy is an AI that answers with interactive visuals, not paragraphs of text. Ask a question and it draws — maps, carousels, charts, plans you can check off. Every answer is made for you uniquely: your language and your aesthetics. Sharing it with friends is a click away. Use the web as your hub of connections The web is yours and any website can be a connection, not just Gmail, Notion or whichever integration is supported. Sign in once, on the site's own page, and Buddy can open and read it for you whenever you ask: your ads dashboard, your inbox, your project tracker, the forum you follow. What can you ask? Anything. But if you want somewhere to start: • Where should we eat tonight? — a map, ranked picks, and the tradeoffs • Compare these three, honestly — scored on what you actually care about • Plan the trip — an itinerary with times, costs, and conflicts • Teach me this — an explainer with quick practice, so it sticks • How are our numbers this week? — read straight from your ads dashboard • The same question every morning — any ask can become a briefing that rebuilds itself Private by nature No account, no email, no password — Buddy works without knowing who you are. Your passwords never leave your phone. Your history, bookmarks, and chats are stored there and nowhere else. Your data should be yours Start free. Buddy Plus raises your limits.
