Ask My Buddy helps you do two important tasks! Ask for assistance - and - make it easy to let your contacts know you are doing ok. The most valuable alert method is the one that is accessible when you need it. Whether it is a telephone, an alert button, or your voice device. Ask My Buddy is not a substitute for 911, but rather an additional tool offering the security of knowing help is just a shout away. Alert feature Ask My Buddy lets you immediately alert someone in your Personal Alert Network that you need them to check on you. You may alert just 1 contact or all of your friends or family with just one command. Simply say, 'OK Google, Ask My Buddy to alert YourContact' or 'OK Google, Ask My Buddy to Send Help', and Ask My Buddy will immediately send an alert, notifying them to check on you right away. Alerts will be sent by text message / SMS, an email, and an automated voice telephone call. Check In feature Have you wished that you could easily let your family that you are doing ok? Ease their minds by sending a 'Check In' message to your contacts every day. Say "OK Google, Ask My Buddy to check in with yourContact" or you can check in with all of your Contacts at once. Check In messages are sent the same way alerts are, by text message / SMS, an email, and even a voice telephone call. Use Check In messages each day to let your family know you are doing OK, or use the Check In after you return from taking a walk, even kids can use it to let parents know they arrived home from school. No smart phone needed! All Alerts and Check Ins are sent from our servers.
