Reach more learners, on the platforms they already use
Book Buddy works through the Snapplify Reader, our institutional platform, our retail websites, and WhatsApp. Learners study straight from their textbooks on a messaging app they already know, with no new app to download. That lowers the barrier to access, extends reach across emerging markets, and gives your titles a longer commercial life in both print and digital.

Your content stays protected. You stay in control.
Book Buddy adds AI study support to your titles without putting your content, your rights, or your commercial control at risk. Security, governance, and clear data practices are built in from the start.
Built for publisher protection
You decide how your titles are used. AI works only under the rights you approve, and access is limited to verified purchasers. Your content is never stored externally, never redistributed, and never used to train external AI models. Your IP stays protected and your commercial control stays intact.
Independently certified and compliant
Your content sits on infrastructure that meets recognised international standards for security and data handling:
- ISO 27001 certified for information security management
- SOC 2 (AICPA) for secure, audited operations
- PCI DSS certified for safe payment handling
Responsible AI, with student-safe guardrails
Book Buddy answers only from approved content, within clearly defined AI boundaries. Student-safe guardrails and responsible AI safeguards keep every interaction appropriate and grounded in your material.
Transparent data practices
Every interaction is session-based and secured by strict protocols. Our governance policies and data practices are open for you to review, so you always know how your content and learner data are handled.
