About

Text or email Buddy what needs doing, like you’d tell a friend. He works across your apps, files, and the web, remembers what matters, and follows through. Research a decision, manage email and your calendar, create documents and images, or get started on the chores you’ve been avoiding. He can follow up, keep you accountable, and bring you in when needed. No prompting tricks to learn. Also on Windows. Less to keep in your head. More things actually getting done.

AI Summary

Buddy by VXBE is a personal AI assistant that operates through iMessage and email, managing tasks across various applications and the web. It helps users with decision research, email management, document creation, and accountability without requiring complex prompts.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
