What Buddy does
Executive function, built in.
ADHD makes starting hard, staying on track harder, and finishing the hardest. Buddy stands in for the executive function layer that’s hard to access.
Breaks assignments into timed chunks
Tell Buddy what you're working on and it creates a step-by-step plan — 15 to 45 minute chunks, sized to the task. No more staring at a blank page.
Makes deadlines feel real
Buddy knows today's date and your upcoming due dates. It connects urgency to now — not to some abstract future date that feels far away until it isn't.
Photo your assignment sheet
Take a photo of the instructions and Buddy reads them — no typing out the whole assignment. It pulls out the task, the deadline, and what's needed to start.
Connects to your school calendar
If your school uses Google Classroom or Brightspace, Buddy can automatically see all your upcoming due dates — no manual entry. Setup takes two minutes in Settings.
My Plan — track what's done
Every chunk Buddy creates is saved to your plan. Check them off as you go, watch your progress bar fill up, and feel the satisfaction of actually finishing things.
Parent dashboard
Parents get a read-only view of what their child is working on and how far along they are — without hovering over their shoulder. Progress, not surveillance.
How it works
Three minutes to your first plan.
No setup required. Sign in with Google and Buddy is ready to help.
Sign in with Google
Use your school Google account or any Gmail. Your conversations and progress are saved automatically.
Tell Buddy what you're working on
Type it, say it, or photograph your assignment sheet. Buddy figures out what you need to do and when it's due.
Work through the chunks
Buddy gives you a step-by-step plan you can add to your calendar. Check things off as you finish — and Buddy keeps track.
Optional: connect your calendar
Link your Google Classroom or Brightspace calendar feed in Settings and Buddy will automatically know all your upcoming deadlines.
Meet Buddy
A study companion who actually gets it.
Buddy isn’t a tutor and won’t do your work for you. It’s the voice that helps you start — the one that breaks “write a five-paragraph essay” into something you can actually do right now.
No shaming. No “you should have started earlier.” Just: here’s step one. You’ve got this.

For parents
See progress, not just grades.
The parent dashboard gives you a real-time view of what your child is working on and how far along they are — without interrupting them or reading their conversations.
You’ll see which assignments they’ve started, which chunks they’ve completed, and how close they are to done. No surprises on due dates.
