BlobBuddy, also capitalized as BlobBUDDY, is a desktop application that utilizes Microsoft Agent technology developed in 2023. It was created by Konnor88 and released on TMAFE.COM on June 9th, 2023. It was created to serve as a malware-free alternative to BonziBUDDY. However, unlike Bonzi, the Blob character has a more aggressive personality. Instead of telling actual facts and jokes, the Blob insults and laughs at the user instead, a stark contrast from Bonzi's more friendly nature.
Community impact
The release of BlobBUDDY was considered a major success by many in the community, as it had been responsible for not only re-sparking more interest in Microsoft Agent, but also the potential development of more Microsoft Agent software. The success of BlobBUDDY influenced the development of MaxALERT! Rewritten, a re-imagination of MaxALERT! which uses BlobBUDDY as a base. The latest release of BlobBUDDY, 2.0 Public Beta 2 Build 302, was released on August 12th, 2024.

Trivia
- Ironically, BonziBuddy, despite being more friendly, had malware bundled in it while BlobBuddy, despite being more aggressive, has no malware in it.
- Blob's behavior in the software was inspired by both Sebastian's "Blob Channel" series on YouTube and Konnor88's "Microsoft Agent Desktop Skits".
- Despite the inspiration from Sebastian's Blob series, a lot of the inappropriate jokes and swears are left out of the software.
- The success of the BlobBUDDY program led to the recreation of the "MaxALERT!" program by Bonzi Software called "MaxALERT! Rewritten".
