Buddy Docs

Last updated: 2026-10-18

Buddy is an AI agent that reads and manages Google Ads accounts in plain conversation. These pages cover the hosted Buddy on ahmeego.com and in the iOS and Android apps: what it can reach in your account, how changes get approved, what it costs, and what to do when something goes wrong.

Other ways to run Buddy

The hosted Buddy is the quickest start. If you would rather run everything on your own machine with your own Google Ads API credentials, use one of the open-source setups instead:

Self-hosted setup guide: Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Buddy for Claude Code, installed from Anthropic's plugin marketplace.
Buddy for the Gemini CLI, installed as a Gemini extension.
Buddy for iOS and Android, the same agent on your phone.
