We’re few underdog devs & PM-s fighting Big Tech bloat—help us democratize AI for small businesses.
Why We’re Fundraising
Because AI tools shouldn’t cost $20/month, require a PhD to use, or sell your data. We’re building DigiBuddy to change that—but we need your help to finish.
1. Who We Are
We’re a team of few disruptive innovators who observe the smallest details in everyday peoples lives and automating daily repetitive tasks.
After years of watching colleagues drown in:
- 3-hour meetings that could’ve been an email
- Ticket queues filled with "plz fix urgent!!!" (no details)
- Generic AI tools that create more work than they save...we said: "Enough."
2. Why This Matters
DigiBuddy isn’t another ChatGPT wrapper.
It’s:
✅ Hyper-specific: Bots that do one task perfectly (e.g., turn meeting chaos into action items).
✅ Self-hostable: No corporate surveillance (unlike Big Tech alternatives).
✅ Accessible: Free for nonprofits/educators (if we hit our goal).
3. Where Your Money Goes
Every dollar fights bloatware:
- $8,000: Final development (we’re 80% done!)
This pays for 200 hours of bug-fixing by our lead dev.
- $3,000: Free licenses for 500+ teachers/nurses
"Example: A school secretary gets our ‘Permission Slip Bot’ to auto-process forms."
- $2,000: Year of secure hosting
"Zero data sold. Ever."
- $2,000: Fees (GoFundMe + payments)
4. What’s At Stake without funding:
❌ The project stalls (we’re bootstrapped—no VC sugar daddies).
❌ Small businesses keep overpaying for broken tools.
❌ Nonprofits get left behind in the AI revolution.
Your donation isn’t just money—it’s a vote against tech that exploits busy people.
