Human presence when it matters most.
Verified Buddies across companionship, support, and errands — on demand or scheduled. Real people. Not another marketplace.
Services
Three distinct service lanes designed to cover every aspect of daily life — from social connection to recovery support to everyday logistics.
Presence & Connection
Activities, outings, and genuine social connection. Don't do life alone.
Plus One Buddy: weddings, galas, work events, parties where you need a date or companion
Recovery & Sobriety
Trusted sober and recovery support professionals — Sober Buddies, Recovery Buddies, and Peer Support Buddies — when it matters most.
Tasks & Assistance
Practical help when you need a human beside you — groceries, pharmacy runs, hospital trips, and everyday logistics.
Somewhere between the gig economy and the AI economy, there's a gap only a human can fill — showing up beside you when it matters.
How It Works
Buddy makes it simple — choose a lane, find a verified human, book, and go.
01
Companionship, support, or errands — say what you need.
02
Profiles, video intros, ratings, and location near you.
03
Pick a time. Safety rails activate when the session starts.
04
Rate your experience. Rebook or discover someone new.

Why Buddy exists
“I built Buddy because I've been the person at 2 a.m. with no one to call.”
Everybody deserves a Plus One.
