Frequently asked

You open an assignment, open Buddy, and it reads the question in front of you. It works the answer out step by step, shows you its reasoning and a draft, and then stops. Nothing is written into your assignment until you press Approve.

No. Buddy never clicks Submit, Turn In, or anything like it. Placing an approved answer in a field is as far as it goes — pressing submit is always yours.

Because it's your work and your responsibility. The approval step means you read the reasoning before anything lands on the page, and it keeps Buddy from quietly filling in something wrong.

Yes. The workspace on this site lets you paste a question, or attach a picture of one, and get the same step-by-step explanation and draft.

Yes — pictures work. Text files are read as text. PDFs aren't supported yet; a screenshot of the page you need help with works instead.

Buddy is free while we're in private beta. After the beta it's $10 a month, and your first month is free — nothing is charged during it. Full details on the pricing page.

The free plan covers 50 questions a month and the paid plan covers 400. You'll get a friendly warning as you approach the limit, and you're always allowed to finish the question you're in the middle of.

From account settings, any time. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. We don't refund partial periods — see cancellation & refunds.

Ordinary webpage fields — text boxes, text areas, multiple choice and dropdowns — are the core, and they cover most of Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology, Blackboard and Moodle. Canvas worksheets and PDF viewers such as Lumin and Kami are experimental. Google Docs isn't verified yet, and we won't claim a platform works until it has passed our checklist.

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and Opera — anything built on Chrome 116 or newer. Safari and Firefox aren't supported.

Not quite — the Chrome Web Store listing is still in review. The install page has everything ready for the moment it goes live.

You click Sign in inside the extension, a small Buddy window opens, and it shows you exactly which account is about to be connected. Approve and you're linked. No codes, no QR, and it can only ever link the account shown on that screen.

Your question text, the assignment title or course if you've set one, and a picture if you attached one. Nothing else — not the rest of the page, not your name or email. It's never used to train anyone's model. The privacy policy spells out every field.

Your questions, the steps and the drafts stay on your account until you delete them, so your history is there when you come back. Attached pictures are never written to the database — only a note that a picture was attached.

Account settings has a Delete account option that removes your login, profile, assignments and the extension's access for good. Or email info@meetbuddy.us and we'll do it for you.
