Send notes or past questions
Send Buddy your lecture notes or past questions as a PDF, Word, or PowerPoint file, or a photo, and it saves them. Snap a clear photo and Buddy reads the text off it; scanned PDFs work too. Ask about anything you've sent by name, or reply to it: get a summary, ask about one part, or ask a question and it finds the answer. Not sure what you've sent? Ask Buddy to list your documents. It saves anything else you send, but only opens lecture notes and past questions.
Notes & past questions“Send your lecture notes or past questions as a file or a photo”“What documents have I sent you?”“Summarise my operating systems notes”
Quiz yourself on your notes
Turn any note or past-question paper you've sent into a practice quiz. Notes become fresh questions; a past-question paper reuses its own questions. Reply "quiz" after you send a file, or ask anytime, and set the number of questions or minutes if you want. You take it on the web, get your score and a question-by-question review, and can retake it as much as you like.
Practice quizzes“quiz”“Quiz me on my operating systems notes”“Give me a 20-question quiz on the CMP416 past questions”

Tools for lecturers, right inside the same WhatsApp chat.
Find your students
Look up students in your department by course, level, admission number, or phone. You see name, program, level, and admission number, never their phone.
Lecturers only“Show me Computer Science 200 level”“Who is admission number 2021/1234?”
Find open teaching slots
See when a level, or two levels together, has no lecture scheduled, so you can pick a clash-free time to hold a class.
Lecturers only“When is 300 level free this week?”“When are UG3 Software Eng and UG4 Computer Science both free for 2 hours?”
Notify a whole level
Reach every student in a level with one message. Just say what you want them to know and Buddy drafts the announcement, shows you a preview and how many it reaches, then delivers it for you, so you never handle their numbers.
Lecturers only“Message all 200 level Software Engineering”“Tell 300 level the class moved to Thursday 10am”
Find a class rep
Get the name and phone number of the class rep for a level in any program across your institution, so you have a direct contact for that class.
