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.

Search anything. Understand more. Ambitious Search is a fast, focused browser with AI overviews built directly into search. Ask a question, explore an idea, find a nearby place, or open any website from one clean search bar. SEARCH WITH CONTEXT Get a concise AI Overview alongside ranked web results and clearly labeled sources. Follow citations, compare perspectives, and keep exploring without losing your place. FIND WHAT'S NEARBY When you allow location access, Ambitious Search can use an approximate location to surface useful nearby places. Location is never used in private tabs. BROWSE YOUR WAY • Keep multiple tabs open • Save bookmarks and review local history • Find text on a page and use Reader • Download files to the Files app • Block common tracker hosts • Choose light or dark appearance PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT Private tabs use non-persistent browser storage. They do not save browsing history, appear in restored sessions, or attach Ambitious account information. Private searches are not added to Ambitious's first-party query ledger. OPTIONAL AMBITIOUS ACCOUNT Browsing does not require an account. If you choose to sign in, you can opt into syncing regular tabs and bookmarks across supported devices. Private tabs and browsing history never sync. Search results and AI-generated answers can be incomplete or incorrect. Check the linked sources when accuracy matters. Ambitious Search is built by Dream Team AI LLC.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ambitious Search at none against Buddy's 2. Buddy's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
