BuildBuddy · Pre-launch
Stop reading the manual. Start assembling.
BuildBuddy scans your flat-pack instructions, walks you through every step out loud, identifies mystery parts from a photo, and diagnoses what's gone wrong when you're stuck. Built for the IKEA, Wayfair, and Amazon flat-pack era.
BuildBuddy is the AI assembly coach for flat-pack furniture. Scan a barcode or manual, get voice-guided step-by-step instructions, identify mystery parts by camera, and use the stuck button when a step doesn't go to plan. Pre-launch on iOS and Android. Single-project IAP $2.99, Pro annual $14.99/yr, Teams $29.99/yr.
The problem
It's the third Saturday this month you've spent on the floor surrounded by parts. The instruction manual has 60 steps, no labels, and a diagram that bears a tenuous resemblance to what's in front of you. You're missing one screw. Or you have the wrong cam-lock. Or step 14 looks done but the thing wobbles and you don't know why.
BuildBuddy is the calm voice in your ear that knows what's in front of you, talks you through it, and tells you exactly which step you got wrong when something doesn't add up.
How it works
Scan
Barcode or photograph the manual. The AI parses it into steps, identifies parts, and prepares the build.
Build
Voice-guided step-by-step. Camera-based parts identification when you can't tell A11 from B14. Tips and warnings from previous builders surfaced when relevant.
Stuck
Photograph the bit that's not working. The AI diagnoses what step you actually got to, what went wrong, and what to do.
