Your daily memo that turns notes into a plan
70 followers
Buddy AI Note is a memo-first daily workspace. Write or speak your day; Buddy organizes it and turns what matters into a small plan it can run for you. Safe steps (reminders, focus time, a research brief...) run on one click; anything sent to others pauses for your review. Plan-then-confirm, not autopilot. Free to start: calendar, daily memo, and Google/Outlook sync. The AI agent (Buddy chat, task plan & execute, voice memos) is the paid upgrade. iOS, Android & web.

The plan-then-confirm boundary is the right design instinct. The question is whether you've drawn the line in the right place.
"Research brief" running on one click feels underspecified. If Buddy is searching the web, summarising sources, and writing a document, that's not obviously safer than sending an email. What's the actual definition of "safe" here and is it user-configurable or hardcoded by you?
The bigger validation question: how many of your current users have actually let Buddy execute a task rather than just organising their notes? The memo-to-plan loop is useful but that's a glorified to-do list. The execution layer is where the real value lives and also where churn will happen if it gets one step wrong on something important.
What does a successful week look like in your usage data right now?

@sergio_jivan This is a very good question we've gotten on here, thanks for actually digging in. On "safe", you're right that "low-risk" was a lazy word. The real line isn't how much work the step does, it's who it touches and whether you can undo it. A research brief just writes a doc into your own workspace, so if it's garbage you delete it and nobody ever saw it. A sent email is gone the second it leaves, sitting in someone else's inbox with your name on it. The clearest example: blocking focus time on your own calendar runs automatically, but the exact same action stops and asks the moment there are other attendees on it, because now it's reaching someone else. So a research brief can totally be wrong, it just can't hurt a relationship, and that's the specific thing the confirm step is there to catch. On whether that's hardcoded by me or yours to change, this is the part I'm happy to point you to. The defaults are mine, but they're only defaults. There's a settings section with a row for every action Buddy can take and three options each: always ask, auto unless it touches someone else, or always run. "Execute all" only fires the ones you've set to auto. So if you think research briefs should ask first, flip that one and they will. The line I picked is just the starting point. On the to-do list thing, you're completely right. The memo to plan loop on its own is a fancy checklist, and the execution layer is where the actual value is and also where people will leave if it gets one important thing wrong. That's the bet and yeah, it's the scary part. On the data, honest answer is we launched on mobile today, so I don't have an execution rate I'd trust enough to quote you. I'd rather tell you that than throw out a number based on 10 people. The week I'm watching for isn't memos written, it's how many people let Buddy actually run a step and then come back and do it again the next week. That repeat is the whole thing. Ask me in three weeks and I'll give you the real number, and I'll come back here to tell you what it turned out to be.

Turning notes into an actual daily plan is the part most note apps miss. The interesting question is whether the plan stays grounded in what the user actually captured, or starts becoming generic productivity advice. Curious how you keep it practical day to day.
Buddy AI Note
@vidur_saini Good question ! This is exactly the failure mode we were scared of. The plan only ever gets built from what you actually wrote or said, not from some generic "here's how to be productive" template. Buddy pulls the concrete things out of your memo and turns those into steps, so if you didn't capture it, it doesn't invent it. It also leans on your own past notes and docs rather than a generic model, which keeps it sounding like your day instead of a self help blog. The one rule we hold is that every step should trace back to something you said. And the longer you use it, the more it pulls from your own history, so it gets more like you over time, not more generic.
The gap between "wrote it down" and "actually did it" is where every note I've ever taken goes to die, so I like the idea of one that nudges itself toward done. And keeping the "sends to other people" stuff gated behind a confirm is the right instinct — that's the exact thing I'd be nervous about handing off.
Good one. Congrats on shipping 👏
Buddy AI Note
Thanks @oleg_tsizdyn🙏 This is exactly the two things we were obsessed with: closing that "wrote it down → actually did it" gap, and making sure anything that reaches another human stops for a human first. The confirm gate isn't a limitation, it's the whole point : trust has to be earned before automation. Really appreciate you taking the time to look.
I've been using Buddy AI Note for a week now and I'm impressed with how seamlessly it integrates into my daily workflow. The ability to add tags and prioritize tasks directly within the note-taking interface is a game-changer for me as a product manager. It's helped me declutter my notes and focus on what really matters.
What I'd love to see next is more integration with project management tools like Trello or Asana. Would the team consider exploring APIs or partnerships to make it easier for users to turn their plans into actionable tasks?
Buddy AI Note
@demi_tan Appreciate the note. Integrations are something we get asked about a lot, so it's clearly a real need. Right now the focus is making the capture to plan to execute loop solid inside Buddy itself, but opening that up so a plan can push into tools like Trello, Asana or Linear is squarely on the radar. Out of curiosity, in your workflow would you want Buddy to create the tasks over there automatically, or hand you a draft to push across yourself? That answer shapes how we'd build it.
Really like the idea of notes becoming action instead of just storage. The review step before anything reaches another person feels like a smart design choice rather than a limitation.
Buddy AI Note
Thanks @hana_salazars , really glad it lands that way. Out of curiosity, are you more a notes person or a calendar person day to day? Curious which side people tend to come in from.
