How it works

01

Buy once

Pick a tier. You get a Docker image and one-click deploy button. No subscription, no usage fees.

02

Deploy in 5 minutes

Click the Railway or Render deploy button. Set your API key and license key. Done.

03

Customize and ship

Log in to the admin dashboard. Upload your docs, set your bot name, colors, and welcome message. No code edits ever.

What's included

Live in 5 minutes, no DevOps

One <script> tag, one Railway click. Works on React, WordPress, Webflow, or plain HTML. No npm, no build pipeline, no server configuration. Customize the look and behavior in another 10 minutes.

Run on any LLM, including free ones

Groq's free tier gives you 14,400 requests/day with no credit card. Or use Claude, OpenAI, or Ollama (fully local, $0 API cost). Switch providers with one env var.

Grounded answers from your own content

Upload your docs in the admin panel. The bot answers from what you uploaded — and if it doesn't know, it says so instead of guessing.

Your visitors' data never touches our servers

Conversations flow only between your site and your chosen LLM provider. averagebuddy.dev has no server in the data path and stores nothing. GDPR-friendly by architecture, not by policy.

Safe to put on a client's site

16 built-in guardrails block prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, DAN-style attacks (instructions that try to bypass safety rules), and system prompt leaks before they reach your LLM. Your client never sees an embarrassing response.

Built-in abuse protection

Per-IP rate limiting, a CORS domain allowlist, a 500-character message cap, a 20-message session limit, and 30-minute auto-expiry — the abuse paths most likely to embarrass you in front of a client, blocked on day one. Zero configuration required.

No ongoing infra bill

No Postgres, no Redis, no message queues. Sessions are in-memory and auto-expire. You pay for compute once — Railway free tier works.

White-label and resell (Agency tier)

Remove the "Powered by BuddyChat" badge. Put your own brand on it. Deploy for clients, bill them monthly — we take no revenue share. What you charge is yours.

Fully configurable, no code changes

Colors, bot name, system prompt, position, welcome message — all manageable via the admin dashboard or env vars. No code edits, ever.
