Buddies: Create & Chat with Custom AI Friends
Buddies lets you build your own AI companions—from tennis coaches to best friends—and chat with them anytime, anywhere.
Overview
Buddies reimagines the messenger app by populating it with virtual friends you design yourself. Instead of texting real-world contacts, you create AI personas tailored to whatever you need—a supportive mental health counselor, a vegan chef, a language tutor, or even a celebrity-inspired companion like a tennis coach modeled after Roger Federer. These AI buddies are built to remember your conversations and understand your context, making each interaction feel more personal over time.
Whether you're looking for guidance, motivation, companionship, or a fun way to explore AI, Buddies gives you the tools to spin up a custom chat companion in seconds. The app is accessible across devices, so your virtual friends are always just a message away, ready to help with everything from fitness routines to meditation practice to everyday emotional support.
