Your personal assistant for unknown calls

A personal assistant for the calls you don't take.

Not another voicemail. Your assistant talks to unknown callers, takes their message, calls people back with your answer, and hangs up on spam. You read one line. People you know ring straight through.

The product

More than a voicemail.

Voicemail and call screening tell you what someone said. Your assistant does something about it.

Your assistant answers

Unknown callers explain themselves to your assistant first.

A real conversation in your name: who's calling, what it's about, and a follow-up question when the answer is vague. It introduces itself as your assistant, never confirms anything about you, and hangs up on robocalls.

A screened call in Callbuddy: the AI summary with a Likely legitimate badge, then the conversation between the assistant and the caller, and the recording
It calls back for you

Type a reply. Your assistant calls them back and delivers it.

Under any call, type what you'd tell them. Your assistant calls the number, introduces itself as your assistant on a recorded line, says your message word for word, and brings back what they said. You never dial an unknown number yourself.

What a caller says about themselves is shown as a claim, never as fact. Only a match against your own contacts is marked verified.

Ms. Rivera · claims to be from Lincoln Elementary
Ms. Rivera from Lincoln Elementary needs the field trip permission form back today.
Tell her it's signed and in Maya's backpack. She can grab it from the front office.
Done. I called Ms. Rivera and passed that on. She said she'll pick it up from the front office this afternoon.
Spam never rings

Your assistant identifies robocalls and blocks them.

It recognizes recordings, scripted pitches and scam patterns, ends the call, and blocks the number so it never rings you again. Each one is filed under Spam with its transcript, never on your lock screen, so nothing is lost silently and a wrong call is one swipe from fixed.
