just say "heybuddy"
heybuddy. voice-activated emergency support for solo situations
voice-activated emergency support for solo situations.
say "heybuddy". we're here to help.
the first 60 seconds
decide everything
when something goes wrong, your brain stops working the way it usually does. panic compresses time. decisions feel impossible. heybuddy is built for that exact moment — not to replace 911, but to help you reach it faster and clearer.
say "heybuddy".
the emergency? heybuddy is here to help.
it hears you
voice-activated. no tapping, no unlocking. works when your hands are full.
it finds you
it confirms your location and trusted contacts before anything else happens.
it understands
it classifies what's happening — injury, threat, panic, disorientation — and responds accordingly.
it asks first
nothing escalates without your say. heybuddy never calls anyone automatically.
governance isn't a feature.
it's the foundation.
most safety apps are built to engage. heybuddy is built to contain — bounded escalation, consent at every step, nothing autonomous.
designed to coexist with emergency services, not compete with them.
heybuddy never contacts emergency services on your behalf. you stay in control.
no passive listening. no background monitoring. no data retained after your session ends.
if heybuddy isn't sure, it steps back. uncertainty reduces capability — never expands it.
architecture designed to pass legal, compliance, and municipal review — not just app store approval.
built in phases.
starting now.
heybuddy is launching with focus. each phase adds a lane — same governance, same voice, same consent model.
solo emergencies
for anyone alone when something goes wrong — or anyone who needs both hands free. whether it's an injury, panic attack, threat, or disorientation, heybuddy is fully voice-operated so you can keep applying first aid, supporting someone, or staying mobile while it guides you toward help.
non-emergency resources
when you don't need 911 but you do need something — mental health support lines, crisis text options, local resources. structured, calm, no guessing.
nightlife safety
a lane built for the hours when things go sideways and 911 feels like too much — discreet activation, location sharing, and trusted contact alerts, designed for the night.

English Bay.
we're not doing a product demo. we're asking three questions to strangers on the seawall and listening to what they say.
what would you reach for in a panic?
what makes you trust a safety app?
