Buddy AI: A Financial Companion

One of the standout features of PayBox’s offering is Buddy AI, also referred to simply as Buddy, which is currently in its beta phase. Buddy AI allows users to engage in meaningful conversations about their finances, offering tailored advice to help them make better financial decisions. PayBox envisions Buddy as the “PayPal or Monzo of Africa,” but with the added advantage of blockchain capabilities linked directly to a mobile number. This dual functionality, both a mobile app and a decentralised app, provides a user-friendly interface for managing personal and business finances.

The app’s features are designed to give users real-time control over their finances. Customers can access transaction updates instantly, review their transaction history at a glance, and generate reports with just a few taps. This ease of access and control is particularly beneficial for SMEs looking to make informed decisions in managing their finances.
