Buddy.ai
Buddy.ai teaches over a million children worldwide to speak English with our voice-based virtual tutor. With proprietary speech and virtual human technologies, the company is solving conversational AI for language learning. Buddy provides a month of learning for the cost of one live tutoring session.

The company raised $3M of venture capital, generated over $4.5M in sales, and is entering the scaling stage. Our mobile holds the Top 10 positions on the App Store’s Kids and Education charts in several major countries throughout Latin America and Europe. Buddy.ai holds multiple international awards and nominations, including GESA (Global Edtech Startup Awards) in London, EnlightEd in Madrid, and Voice Summit Awards in New York, among others. Headquartered in Mountain View, California we are a growing international team combining expertise in voice and virtual human technologies, education, and game design.
In early 2020 Edwin merged with Buddy.ai. The resulting company kept the name “Buddy.ai”. Headquartered in San Francisco, it focuses on building a virtual English conversation partner for over 500 million children around the globe who are trying to learn English, but can't reach fluency because they lack genuine practice speaking the language. The company doubled down on its mobile app Buddy, the voice-based English tutor for kids, organically combining solutions developed by Buddy.ai and Edwin. Edwin built an AI-powered service for learning English as a foreign language. It combines the latest adaptive learning and Natural Language Understanding technology with pedagogical content as well as on-demand human instructors to offer its students affordable, personalized, 1:1 learning. Based in San Francisco, the company was funded by General Catalyst, Y Combinator, Google Assistant Investments Program, and several other investors. Over 800 thousand students have improved their English with Edwin.
