IdeaBuddy is a web app for planning a business from an early idea to a finished plan. The step-by-step guide walks you through each stage, and the business plan fills in as you complete the steps. A financial plan helps you build profit and loss projections and forecast cash flow. The canvas lets you sketch a business model on a single page. A validation tool helps you assess an idea's viability and spot areas to improve. AI assistance can write, fix grammar, and adjust tone in nine languages, and AI templates adapt to your industry. You can invite team members and mentors to view or edit your progress. Exports cover PDF, Word, and Excel, and you can share a link with partners and investors. The free trial lasts 15 days and does not require a credit card. The free plan allows one project and one collaborator, and AI requests are limited to 10 per billing cycle. The platform is mobile-friendly, so you can work from a phone or tablet. There is no native mobile app listed. The site does not state whether an API or open source code is available.
