Budge

Budge is a personal assistant for reminders, habits, and goals. Tell Budge what you want to do, and it works out the right reminders, check-ins, and follow-ups, asking only when it needs more information.

Budge works entirely by text, and you talk to it like you would anyone else. That makes it feel less like a reminder and more like someone checking in because they know what you said you'd do. You can change plans, tell it how you want it to communicate, and it keeps track of all the things you do with it.

Budge is not a general AI, friend, coach, or therapist. Most AI agents are built to do things for you: send an email, find a reservation, buy something on Amazon. Budge is built on a completely different premise: getting you to act on the things you want to do. It does not choose your goals or give life advice. It is not trying to connect to every account or collect data about everything you do.

Budge does not succeed by keeping you engaged with it all day. It succeeds when you follow through with as little intervention as possible.

We do not believe AI is the answer to everything or that it should become inseparable from daily life. AI should be a tool for solving specific problems, not a replacement for people. We believe in humanity, and we build products for humans.
