Open WhatsApp and ask like you would ask a course mate. No downloads. No portal.
Lecture times, exam venues, announcements, office locations. Buddy finds the confirmed version.
Get a heads-up before class, tests, deadlines, and sudden changes sneak up on you.
No more scrolling old class messages or waiting for someone to reply before you leave hostel.
Venue, time, and lecturer. Before you start walking across campus.
The confirmed version. No digging through 200 unread messages in the class group.
Dates, venues, rules, materials. The details that matter most on exam day.
A nudge before class, tests, and deadlines. Early enough to actually help.
One WhatsApp chat for your lectures, reminders, quizzes, and more. Here is the short version.
Check your lectures for any day, date range, or weekday. Venue, time, and lecturer included.
Class reps add one-time or recurring lectures for their program's courses.
Set your course and level once, and Buddy shows the right lectures, including borrowed and general courses.
Get a summary of the next day's lectures the evening before, so you never miss a class.
Set a reminder for anything: assignments, deadlines, meetings. Buddy pings you at the exact time.
Take quizzes shared by your class right inside the chat, with instant scoring.
Teams can share important updates once, then see what students are actually asking about.
One chat, every campus question. Ask anything β Buddy leads with the useful part.
βI just asked once and got the venue, time, and lecturer. I did not have to start scrolling old group messages.β
βThe reminder came early enough for me to leave hostel. Small thing, but it saved my attendance.β
βOur faculty group gets noisy fast. Buddy gives me the straight answer when I need it.β
Yes. If Buddy is live on your campus, students can message the number and use it for free. No subscriptions, no hidden charges, no surprise bills later.
Buddy is built around the places campus information already lives: department notices, faculty updates, class rep messages, and approved announcements. The goal is simple: give students the confirmed version, not rumours.
That is the plan for every campus Buddy supports. Some departments may come online before others while the right information sources are being connected. If Buddy does not have your department yet, it will be honest about it.
Yes. Buddy only keeps what it needs to answer better and improve the service. We do not sell student data, and we do not hand your chats around. Privacy is part of the product, not an afterthought.
Buddy is currently live at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS). More campuses are next as we connect the right people and information sources. If you want Buddy at your university, reach out and let's talk.
