“I know what I should do. That isn’t the point.”
That sentence is enough to begin with.
No action plan required
“Please don’t turn this into advice.”
Say that first. Buddy can listen, ask one careful question, or simply let you keep talking.
Your first messages don’t require an account
Set the tone in one sentence
Tell Buddy what kind of answer you want.
“No advice yet” is enough. You can change your mind later, ask for a question, or keep the conversation exactly where it is.
You can ask Buddy to listen, ask a question, be more direct, or simply stay with the thought. Ordinary words are enough.

Tell me what’s on your mind…↑
“…nothing was fixed, but I finally finished the story without being handed a list halfway through”Leah
Sometimes the advice is not wrong. It is just twenty minutes too early.
You are still trying to say what happened and someone is already solving a version they barely heard.
“Can you let me finish before we fix it?”
Say what happened right before it.
“I need a response, not a checklist.”
You can stay with this part for a while.

Quick answers
A few straight answers.
Can I ask Buddy not to give advice?
Yes. Say it in ordinary language. You can also change the tone later in the same conversation.
What if I do want ideas later?
Ask when you are ready. The conversation does not have to remain in one mode.
Do I need an account before I write?
No. You can send the first messages as a guest. An email code is only needed if you choose to save the conversation.
Is Buddy a person or a therapist?
Neither. Buddy is an AI companion. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or emergency help.
Can I send voice notes here?
The web chat is text-only. If you continue in Telegram, you can use text or voice notes there.
Optional support

Buddy is free while we build it. If the conversation helped, you can support servers and development.
