Try it free
No credit card. No sign-up.
What it does
- Explains how to do one thing on a phone or tablet, in small steps.
- Can call you and talk you through it, nice and slow.
- Repeats itself happily, as often as you like.
- Spots messages that look like scams and says why.
- Writes simple how-to notes you can print and keep.
It can also do things for you
- Makes calls for you. Books the table, moves the appointment, and waits on hold so you don't have to. Then it tells you how it went.
- Writes emails and texts. Answers, follows up, and says thank you, in your voice. You read it first.
- Pays for small things. Uses its own card, with a spending limit you choose. It asks you before every payment.
- Remembers what matters. Your pharmacy, your mom's birthday, how you like to sign off. No need to explain twice.
No setup and no tech for you to learn. All the fiddly bits happen behind the scenes.
Who it's for
Parents and grandparents who want to video-call the family, and the grown children who get the “How do I…?” phone calls.
What it can't do
Tech Buddy can't fix a broken phone or reach into your device. It explains; you (or your helper) tap.
Henry sometimes gets things wrong, so please give it a quick look.
You stay in charge
- It never changes a setting or buys anything.
- It never asks for your passwords.
- You can stop, go back, or start over at any step.
- It only calls when you (or your family) ask it to.
