Buddy — How it works
Buddy
HOW IT WORKS

No app. No complicated setup.
Just say hi.

Everything happens in one text thread. Four simple steps — plain language. Helping a parent? See For family.

1 FIRST CONTACT

Text the number. Buddy introduces itself.

Text +1 (305) 450-7715. Buddy asks a few easy questions — your name, what you care about (meals, weight, water, meds, bedtime), and how you like to be spoken to. No forms, no app, no account to create.

A family member can sit with you for the first five minutes. Then Buddy is just another contact in Messages.

Buddy
hey
Hey! I'm Buddy — your coach, right here in your texts. What should I call you, and what are we working toward?
Helen. want help with protein, water, and my evening pills
Glad you're here, Helen. We'll keep it simple. What time do you usually take evening meds, and any food goals from your doctor?
Set: protein focus · water nudges · 8pm meds
2 YOUR DAY

You text your day. Buddy logs it and replies clearly.

Send a weigh-in, a meal photo, "took my pills," or "same lunch as yesterday." Buddy logs it and tells you what it means — in one or two plain sentences.

1. Log simply

Weight, meals (photo or text), water, medications — even "same as yesterday."

2. Get clear replies

Not a dashboard — your trend and habits explained in everyday language.

3. Stay encouraged

Quiet wins matter: meds taken, water logged, a short walk. Buddy notices without nagging.

3 GENTLE REMINDERS

Buddy checks in — gently, not constantly.

A morning hello. A water or medication reminder if you asked for one. A Friday wrap-up of your week. A bedtime check-in when that helps.

All of it inside your quiet hours, about one unprompted message a day at most, and never a guilt trip when you miss. Private by default.

8:00 AM "Good morning. Protein at breakfast helps — I'll nudge you about water this afternoon."
2:30 PM "Haven't heard from you — no pressure. A short walk or a glass of water still counts."
FRI 5PM "Solid week: meals logged most days, reminders answered. Want a simple plan for the weekend?"
4 STAYS WITH YOU

It adjusts as your habits settle in.

A printed plan goes stale. Buddy watches your weight trend and what you actually eat, then gently adjusts targets — always as wellness coaching, not medical treatment.

Notice

Sees your real weight trend over days — not one morning on the scale.

Adjust

Gently updates protein and habit targets so the plan stays realistic for you.

Remind

Keeps water, meds, and bedtime prompts on the schedule you chose.

It all starts with one text.
