What Is Buddy AI? Jobs, Universities and Your Whole Move, Matched
A move abroad is not one decision. It is a job or a place at a university, a budget that has to hold, a timeline, and a dozen small set-ups on arrival — a SIM card, health insurance, a bank account. Buddy AI brings all of it together from one thing you already have: your CV.
Quick answer
Buddy AI is SettleBuddy's personal matching engine. Upload your CV and tell it where you want to go, your budget and your timeline. It finds the universities and jobs you can realistically land — with tuition, deadlines, language requirements and real salary ranges for your role in that country — then picks the SIM, health insurance and bank account that fit your status and budget, and explains why. Every figure comes with its source, and the whole move comes together as one dated plan instead of a pile of tabs.
What Buddy AI does
- Reads your CV — your field, your degree, your experience and your languages are the starting point, not a country you guessed.
- Finds the jobs you can realistically land — with real salary ranges for your role in that country, so you can see whether the move pays.
- Finds the universities that fit — with tuition, application deadlines and the language level each programme asks for.
- Sets up the everyday — the SIM card, health insurance and bank account that fit your status and your budget, and why each one fits.
- Turns it into one dated plan — what to apply for, what to book and what to open, in order, with dates.
Every figure has a source
Salary ranges, tuition, deadlines, language requirements and prices come with the source they were taken from, so you can check every number yourself. Buddy AI never promises an admission, a job or an approval: it shows you what is realistic, and why.
Who takes over when it should not answer
Anything legal — which visa, which permit, which rules apply to you — goes straight to Visa AI, which answers only from official law. Anything Buddy AI cannot resolve goes to an Expat Ally, the human expert behind every SettleBuddy product. You are never left with a guess.
How Buddy AI fits SettleBuddy
The job or the university decides the city, the budget and the language you will need. That is why Buddy AI works from the same profile as the rest of SettleBuddy: Housing AI (live — the most advanced housing platform today), Language Lab (live, 50 languages) and Visa AI (coming soon). The country your CV points to already knows where you will live, what you will need to say, and what your papers will take.

FAQ
What is Buddy AI?
SettleBuddy's personal matching engine: upload your CV, say where you want to go, your budget and your timeline, and it finds the universities and jobs you can realistically land — then the SIM, health insurance and bank account that fit, with the reasons.
How is it different from a job board?
A job board lists openings in a country you already picked. Buddy AI starts from your CV, budget and timeline and returns the jobs and universities you can realistically land, plus the set-up for the move, as one dated plan with a source for every figure.
Does Buddy AI promise a job or an admission?
No. Every figure comes with its source, and it never promises an admission, a job or an approval. Anything legal goes to Visa AI; anything it cannot resolve goes to an Expat Ally, the human expert behind every SettleBuddy product.
