You hear about Austin emergencies before the news does.

Battle Buddy monitors Austin-area public-safety radio around the clock. AI filters the noise. You get only real incidents — delivered in seconds, not minutes.

What It Is

Battle Buddy is a live intelligence service built on Austin-area P25 trunked radio traffic. We monitor APD, AFD, Travis County EMS, Travis County Sheriff, DPS, ABIA Airport Police, and UTPD — continuously, 24/7/365.

Every transmission is processed by Groq and Claude LLMs in real time. The AI classifies each call, discards routine chatter, and surfaces only genuine incidents: structure fires, major crashes, active threats, HAZMAT events, pursuits, and more.

Alerts reach you through Nextcloud Talk notifications and direct messages. Premium subscribers also receive tactical data packages compatible with ATAK, WinTAK, and iTAK — the same situational-awareness platform used by military and first responders worldwide.

Who It’s For

• Journalists who want to be first on the scene, not second to Twitter.
• Security professionals protecting clients, venues, or sites in the Austin metro.
• Parents and commuters who want to know before a road closes or a school locks down.
• First responders monitoring adjacent agencies without tying up a second radio.
• Anyone with a need to know what’s happening in their city, right now.
