CyberBuddy

CyberBuddy is a software program that can help you in performing a lot of tasks such as setting reminders, sending voice messages, checking news or weather with the help of a Microsoft Agent.

The overall design of the CyberBuddy program seems to be a bit outdated, but all in all, the interface is quite easy to use. The whole app embraces a tabbed layout, so that you can easily set all the options you need, like certain reminders, news, email accounts and others.

You are definitely going to like the fact that you can select between four animated characters (Robby, Genie, Merlin and Peedy) that can move around the screen while talking to you.

There are a lot of things that the Microsoft Agent is able to do for you, like reminding you to call your mother or telling you about the weather and what has happened lately in the world. You can also make the character tell the Jokes and Thoughts of the Day or read some stock values that interest you.

There are also plenty of configuration settings for the Microsoft Agent, other than its appearance. For example, you can choose to change its voice from female to male, even to robot-like. You can make the on-screen character smaller or bigger, or you can control the gestures that it does. You can make him blink, congratulate you, sit idly and so on.

In case you're planning to make the most of this app, you can always have a look at the tutorials available online to find out more on the purpose of each feature.

CyberBuddy is a useful and fun tool that can help you remember certain things, check your mail, or tell you what the weather is like and so on.
