Loneliness shouldn't have to wait for you to say something first.
TheFriendlyChatBuddy is a warm, caring companion that texts you first: a "good morning, how'd you sleep?" at the times you choose, and a real back-and-forth conversation whenever you reply. No app to install; it's just texts on your phone.
Get started from $20/monthIt reaches out
Pick the times (or let it surprise you). It sends a friendly check-in so you're never waiting alone for someone to message you.
It actually listens
Text back and it replies like a friend: curious, kind, and remembers what you told it last time. It asks questions to keep the conversation going.
For you, or someone you love
Set it up for yourself, or (with their okay) for a parent or friend who could use a daily hello. Each person is their own "line".
How it works & what it costs
The product is simple and honest: you pay a flat monthly price for each "line" (one phone number the bot lovingly checks in on). Two plans:
- Standard, $20/month: up to 10 messages a day, a daily companion for most people.
- Premium, $100/month: up to 100 messages a day for all-day, high-volume conversation.
- One line per person: add a line for a parent, a friend, or a sibling, all on one bill. Billing is month-to-month and prorated when you add or remove a line. Stop paying and the bot simply stops texting that line.
- Consent first: to add someone else's number you confirm they agreed to receive the messages, and anyone can text STOP to opt out instantly.
Why we charge: every check-in is a real text message (carrier fees) and a real AI conversation (compute). A small, predictable per-line price keeps the service running and sustainable without ads or selling your conversations, ever.
