heybuddy. voice-activated campus safety for students and faculty
voice-activated campus safety for students and faculty.
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. on campus that moment can be an injury, a spiked drink, someone following you, or a situation you can't say out loud — for a student or a staff member alike. heybuddy is built for it, not to replace 911 or campus security, but to help you reach them faster and clearer.
say "heybuddy".
on campus, in the moment, for students and faculty. 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.
every kind of campus emergency.
one buddy.
campus safety isn't one problem. heybuddy is built for the whole range — for students, grad students, faculty and staff — with the same governance, the same voice, and the same consent-first rules behind every one.
injury & medical
a fall in a lab, a seizure in a lecture hall, someone collapses at practice, or you're hurt alone in an empty building. fully voice-operated, so your hands stay free to help while heybuddy orients you and gets a clear picture ready for campus security or 911.
intoxication & overdose
a party where someone stops responding, a spiked drink, a friend you can't wake, or your own head not working right. heybuddy stays calm and structured when you can't, and helps you reach the right help without guessing.
bullying, harassment & threats
being followed across campus, cornered, targeted online and off, or watching a situation escalate. heybuddy helps you get oriented, share where you are, and reach the right people before it goes further.
assault & abuse
sexual assault, relationship or partner abuse, coercion by someone you know. heybuddy is consent-first and never acts on its own — it helps you reach support, a trusted contact, campus resources, or 911 on your terms, and can have a clear account ready if and when you choose to share it.
when you can't speak
someone's in the room, you're hiding, or saying it out loud isn't safe. a discreet path that doesn't need your voice, so you can reach help without being heard. building now, held to the same consent and governance rules as every other lane.
alone after dark
walking home from a night class, a late lab or studio, an empty parking lot, or a night shift on campus. voice-operated and hands-free, so you can keep moving while heybuddy tracks where you are and gets help ready if you need it.
one thing we won't rush: mental-health support. it's coming — and it only ships when it clears the same bar as everything else here: governance, consent, and real testing first, not a moment before. today the core voice flow is in active testing, and discreet and silent modes are in development.
