BuddyAI

BuddyAI is a personal Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool designed to offer added security through engagement in human-like dialogues via a dedicated phone line.

It aims to provide support and comfort through meaningful interactions, especially for individuals in potentially vulnerable situations such as walking home alone at night.

Rather than being a simple chatbot, BuddyAI is positioned as a ‘nighttime walking companion’, offering immediate and understanding conversation as and when required.

Additionally, BuddyAI provides a means of signaling for assistance, interpreting urgency in the user’s voice to pick up on potential distress. Conversing with BuddyAI is intended to mitigate feelings of isolation and bolster confidence when navigating through less secure environments, contributing to users feeling safer and less anxious.

It offers 24/7 availability, extending its human-like conversation and support whenever required, and aims to deter unwanted attention. The tool comes with a dashboard for tracking calls and maintaining emergency contacts for additional personal safety measures.
