Show HN: BuddyAI – Your Nighttime Walking Companion (buddyai.org)
7 points by BuddyAI 11 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hey HN,

We're thrilled to introduce BuddyAI, a project that has two technical co-founders. BuddyAI is an AI-powered virtual companion designed to provide women walking alone at night with a sense of security and companionship. Our buddy can chat with you to simulate a phone call, deterring unwanted attention by making it seem like you're busy, and also providing entertainment value to your walk. If BuddyAI detects urgency in your voice or if you request help, it can text your configured emergency contacts.

We're excited about the future and plan to expand BuddyAI's capabilities. Check it out at https://buddyai.org. We'd love your feedback!

Thanks,

- BuddyAI Team




Great concept. Although I wonder how much someone being on the phone actually deters rapists/ muggers.
