✨ What Buddy does

Buddy is an AI text assistant for Android. It helps you rewrite text inside any app without switching screens.

Type a trigger at the end of your text, like:

• /fix
• /formal
• /reply
• your own custom trigger

Buddy then rewrites the text using Gemini or any OpenAI-compatible provider.

🖥️ What you need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• A Windows PC
• An Android phone
• A USB cable for setup
• Internet access
• An AI provider key, if you plan to use your own model
• Android accessibility access turned on for Buddy

Buddy works as a helper on Android. You download the release from GitHub, then use it on your phone while typing in other apps.

🚀 Get started

1. Open the Buddy Releases page
2. Download the latest release file
3. Run the downloaded file on Windows if the release includes a Windows setup package
4. Follow the setup steps shown on screen
5. Move the app to your Android device if the release gives you an Android build
6. Open Buddy on your phone
7. Turn on the needed access so Buddy can read and rewrite text in other apps

📲 Set up Buddy on Android

After you install Buddy, open it on your Android phone and finish the setup.

1. Grant access

Buddy needs accessibility access to work in other apps. This lets it watch the text you type and replace it with the version you want.

To turn it on:

1. Open Android settings
2. Go to Accessibility
3. Find Buddy in the list
4. Turn the service on
5. Confirm the prompt

2. Choose your AI provider

Buddy can work with:

• Gemini
• OpenAI-compatible providers
• Other API-based text models

Add your provider key and endpoint in the app settings if needed. If you use Gemini, enter the Gemini key. If you use another service, paste the API details the app asks for.

3. Pick your trigger words

Buddy watches for a trigger at the end of your text. You can use built-in triggers or create your own.

Common examples:

• /fix for grammar cleanup
• /formal for a more polished tone
• /reply for a quick response
• /short for a shorter version
• /custom for your own style rule

4. Test it in any app

Open a text field in an app like:

• Messages
• WhatsApp
• Email
• Notes
• Social apps

Type your text, add a trigger, then send it through Buddy. The app rewrites the text using the style you chose.

🧭 How to use Buddy

Buddy keeps the process simple.

1. Type your message in any app
2. Add a trigger at the end
3. Let Buddy rewrite the text
4. Copy the result back into the app or replace the current text if supported

Example:

• Before: I need this done asap /formal
• After: I would appreciate your help with this as soon as possible

Another example:

• Before: can you send me the file /reply
• After: Could you send me the file?

⚙️ Tips for better results

Use short, clear prompts. Buddy works best when the text is easy to understand.

Try this:

• Keep the main idea in one sentence
• Add the trigger at the end
• Use one request at a time
• Pick the right tone for the app you are using

Good examples:

• “Please review the document /formal”
• “Send a polite follow-up /reply”
• “Make this shorter /short”
• “Fix the grammar and keep the meaning /fix”

🔒 Privacy and control

Buddy sends text to the AI provider you choose. That gives you control over where the text goes.

You can:

• Use a provider you trust
• Change the provider later
• Adjust triggers to fit your workflow
• Keep text handling inside the apps you already use

🛠️ Common use cases

Buddy fits many day-to-day tasks:

• Clean up messy text
• Make messages sound more polite
• Turn rough notes into clear writing
• Reply faster in chats
• Rewrite work messages in a formal tone
• Shorten long drafts
• Match the tone of the app or person you are writing to

📂 File types you may see

Depending on the release, the download page may include:

• Android app files
• Windows setup files
• Zip archives
• Build assets for testing

Pick the file that matches your device and follow the install steps shown on the release page.

🧩 If Buddy does not rewrite text

If nothing happens, check these items:

• Accessibility access is on
• The app has the right AI provider key
• Your phone is online
• The trigger is at the end of the text
• The app you are using allows text selection or replacement
• You picked a trigger Buddy knows

If the result looks wrong, try a shorter prompt or a different trigger.

📌 Supported setup

Buddy is built for:

• Android text input
• Accessibility-based text control
• Gemini-based rewrites
• OpenAI-compatible APIs
• Custom triggers for different writing styles

🧪 Example workflow

Here is a simple workflow you can follow:

1. Open your chat app
2. Type your message
3. Add /formal at the end
4. Tap the Buddy action if needed
5. Review the rewritten text
6. Send it

That same flow works for notes, emails, and replies in other apps.
