Bud
Bud is an AI agent that operates its own computer—including a browser, phone number, email inbox, and connected apps—to complete multi-step digital tasks end-to-end from plain-English instructions. Unlike chatbots that only generate text, Bud executes real work like web research, email outreach, document creation, and code shipping, pausing for user input on sensitive actions. It is accessible via web app, iMessage, or Telegram and integrates with tools like Google, Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Notion.

Problem
Knowledge workers and teams spend significant time on messy, repetitive, multi-step digital tasks—web research, data collection, email outreach, reporting, and file management—that require navigating multiple browsers, apps, and authenticated sessions. Traditional automation tools are rigid and depend heavily on APIs and predefined logic, while AI chatbots stop at generating text and cannot actually execute work.
Solution
Bud is an AI agent that operates its own computer, including a browser, phone number, email inbox, and connected apps, to complete tasks end-to-end from plain-English instructions. Instead of only telling users what to do, Bud does the work: it plans steps, browses the web, logs into authenticated sites, sends emails, builds documents and presentations, ships code, and runs recurring workflows. Bud pauses and asks for input when it hits a login, CAPTCHA, or purchase confirmation, then hands back results like files, summaries, screenshots, or a live replay of the work. It is accessible from the web app, iMessage, or Telegram, and connects to tools like Google, Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Notion through a skills library, with the flexibility to operate through its own browser when no API is available.
Target Audience
Bud is built for individuals and teams—founders, operators, marketers, creators, researchers, developers, sales teams, and assistants—who want to offload repetitive digital work across operations, admin, research, lead generation, reporting, outreach, and file management.
