VirtualBuddy.

Help someone with a business idea finish one defined project, by turning it into a plan of clear steps with effort estimates, worked examples, templates and a defined finish line, at a deadline and weekly pace they choose.

VirtualBuddy describes itself as a business project buddy: you bring the idea, and it brings clear steps, useful templates and a little momentum. It offers three curated free workflows, each of ten steps with a defined finish: publish your first service offer, validate a product idea by speaking to five relevant prospective customers, and launch a small online store with one real product and a checked checkout. A visitor chooses a project, sets their idea, outcome, target date and weekly hours, and works through one task at a time, with effort estimates, worked examples and completion criteria for each step. The site also offers free editable worksheets and checklists, practical guides tied to each workflow, saved progress and a downloadable completion summary.

The site states its own limits. It does not publish a site, send customer messages or automatically visit evidence links for the user: the user does the real-world work and records the result. Its terms say examples are illustrative, not promises of sales, demand, profitability or a particular completion date, and that the materials are not legal, tax or regulated professional advice. Free access allows one active project at a time, and guest progress is kept only in the browser, so it can be lost if browser data is cleared. The terms describe the service as a one-year product experiment whose features may change.

VirtualBuddy is owned and operated by Pacific Fund, as stated in its footer, privacy notice and terms. Every workflow and the essential templates are free, with no subscription. An optional First Service Offer Pack is listed as a one-time A$29 purchase, but the site says purchases are not open yet and checkout will open when payment setup is complete. The site says it does not sell private project work or use it for public examples or model training, and that the initial service uses curated content without sending projects to an AI model. Google Analytics measures public page visits only with a visitor's permission, and project notes are kept out of analytics.

Who it’s for

People starting or running a small business who are doing a bit of everything and want to finish one practical project; the workflows can be tried as a guest without an account.
